Arguably the worst challenge in Premier League History... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😷

Yellow card!? 😂 Should’ve been jailed for that. Thatcher was a talentless c*nt as well.

"On the brink of a red" 🤣🤣🤣 Games changed lol

One of the worst of all time that, how none of the Pompay players tried to get at Thatcher after that beggars belief. It was assault

He should’ve been prosecuted for that.

lol what

@UKMasterDebater This is far worse then the Keane - Haaland challenge mate

Psh, it was only a fairy tap. He only needed a bit of oxygen and he was up and bouncing around like a spring lamb! Probably. Haaland never played a full game again. Where's my handkerchief.

@UKMasterDebater @Footballfights Haaland played 4 days later and retired due to an injury to his other leg lol

@Footballfights True. He played 45 minutes for Norway, 68 minutes against West Ham in the next league game, but never played a full 90 minutes again. Retired 2 years later, citing an injury to his other (left) leg. Liar. 🙂

And this is the ref that @SkySports use for #RefWatch and he gives a yellow !!!

That idiot did exactly the same thing to Nicky Summerbee. Wimbledon v Sunderland. Proper cowards trick .

This wasn’t a challenge. This was outright assault, this isn’t one of those “old school football” or “games gone moments”. I agree with a lot of them - this is different. He should’ve served time in prison for that.

If it was today he would be arrested for assault not just only red card

Worst thing is Dermot Gallagher now offers up his opinion on TV as a refereeing 'expert'

If Johnson had any balls he should have whacked Thatcher there and then and taken the consequences…..at a hearing his actions would have been justified …..no surprise it was only a yellow as well seeing who the ref was……Thatcher should never have played again

And the prick of a ref who doesn’t send him off is the same one Sky use on ref watch.

Why are pompey lads not steaming in on him there.

Ben Thatcher was the worst player ever to put on a City shirt..a hideous bloke and an embarrassment to the club.

@Ayrshiregers2 Guessing you’ve never seen Ryan Shawcross’s “challenge” on Aaron Ramsey or Martin Taylor’s on Eduardo?!

How did fuck did he not get a red card

I love the way the second voice suggests it must be on the brink of a red and they waffle about it being late with no mention of a the forearm smash delivered. And Dermot Gallagher only gave a yellow card. Thatcher was a thug.

that’s a 10 game ban today.

On the brink of a red 😂 that’s common assault

Should have been arrested

He said on the brink of a red 😂 if this was today it’s 3 year suspension maybe life suspension in pro football but yes Brink of a red mate

Of course it was Dermott Gallagher only giving the yellow as well 😂😂. The amount of nonsense he spouts on Sky Sports News Ref Watch protecting the officials, there’s no wonder. Fucking clown.

This was not a challenge, this was assault pure and simple! That scumbag should never have stepped foot on a pitch again!

Best*

He was charged by the fa and got an 8 game ban.

‘On the brink of a red’ - literally kills a man

He was an animal

Did you ever see David Busst’s leg break?

Used to play for my team was a decent left back but that was absolute filth, bang out of order to attack the head with an elbow at speed

Bloody

On the brink of a red, you said!? 😮

Etihad packed as usual 🔴⚪️⚫️

That wasn’t a challenge it was just assault

Plays like this were normal in the 90’s

@AdrianoFerrigno ‘rather dazed looking player on the deck’
