Does Roy Hodgson Owe Us An Apology?

[mr-villa]

Am I correct in saying that Roy Hodgson has not come out today and issued an apology to both Chris Herd and Aston Villa for the unfounded accusations he trotted out on MOTD on Saturday night.  He stated on national TV that having seen the replay that Chris Herd definitely stamped on Ollsen.  Now this has clearly been sorted out through the use of video technology over the weekend but Roy's silence is deafening.

I think he has let his profession down and West Brom as a club also are being made to look bad over this.

You are correct MrAV, but he isn't going to either.

The defender in question is a cheat, he should be taken to task instead.

[Villanation]

Is Herds card going to be reviewed.

[London Villan]

We've appealed apparently. Fingers crossed. Hopefully they'll ban Hutton instead!

During that interview on match of the day I came to the conclusion that his head looks like that of an owl, I was waiting for it to do a 360 degree rotation.

Ha, Cuellar must be our RB now.

[London Villan]

For all Cuellar's passing limitations, he looks like Roberto Carlos compared to Hutton.

Whilst this thread is not another debating forum for the Hutton tackle i can't let that comment go without reply.  Alan Hutton arrived at the ball well in advance of Long, took the ball cleanly and his studs were pointing down at the ground throughout.  Shane Long was late arriving, knew he couldn't reach the ball first but still decided to go through with the challenge.  May I point you to the still frame of the tackle in the daily mail, long has his leg planted, he contributed severely to how this ended.

I think old Woy went a bit nuts. Totally OTT! Especially over the Hutton tackle and that Long could have had both his legs broken. Sensationalising it for the benefit of TV.
Strange how he didn't say anything about Jones's assault on Zog or the fact that Olssen was holding Herd's foot which led to Herd trying to get away from him and the sending off.
He was embarrassing to the rest of us getting who need our bus passes.

That's how I see it, better at CB, but still better than the 'accident waiting to happen, can't cross, is out of position far too often' Hutton.

Sorry folks! Now I've gone a bit nuts!
UTV!

If his appeal his successful, i'd start him at right back in place of Hutton, who will probably get booked for the first challenge he makes.

Agree 100% mr v!
Tackling's part of the game and at the time I thought it was a good one. So did w**k*r Dowd and every other player. Hutton's booking a bit later was in part reaction to Long pushing him out of play. Isn't that potentially dangerous as well....depending on where you land and how etc etc

I think he is asking more on the overall liability of Hutton at the moment more then that challenge. If he is sent off, someone else might play there instead.
