The spear tackle wasn't too bad. But the hand in the groin, that's another story altogether.

[RoryD56]

whats the difference between a spear tackle and a dump tackle?? i thought a spear was when you put someone on their head? obviously not because this tackle he landed more on his shoulder and it was still called a spear.....

[Karnage080]

more landed on his shoulder than head not really a spear tackle

[planefreak3]

single leg takedown lol

ahh i didnt quite do a spear tackle but i got stepped by this midget :L and i grabbed his shirt and shoved his head into the ground :)

Great refereeing ...stopped the game, explained to the player and captain and gave the decision. Referee in control no one arguing.

They can easily lead to a very serious injury

[defensiveendtorg]

i love doing that to someone, especially in football, i get my helmet under their pads and ram my facemask right into their chest (and my facemask is one of those huge revo ones, they hurt)

the reason why he was yellow carded was because it was a dangerous tackle, he could have easily landed on his head and snapped his neck

in the old days that wasnt illegal... back when they had long sleeves.
