I think Hutton is not very good however yesterday he got the ball about a week before Long got to him.

That's just Hodgson's spin. Football used to be a contact sport.And it's not anymore.Which is why it deserved a red card.No, it didn't. You can quote laws all day at me if you feel so inclined but we all know that referees interprate them differently so trying to make out it that there is no debate doesn't wash.

A question for those who have defended Hutton's challenge on this thread:Would you be willing to pass it off merely as a "strong, hard tackle" if Mulumbu had made it on Gabby, breaking his leg in the process?We are all one eyed from time to time, but I feel that some are defending the indefensible on here.
He seems like a mindless drunken thug who has no idea what he's doing on the pitch. That's the best way I can describe about him lightly.
There are at least two other challenges to compare Hutton's tackle with from today's game, Drogba's where he was sent off and Evra's where he wasn't. The key difference to me still seems to be two footed studs up challenges will get you sent off, Hutton won the ball with one foot, he was there well before Long, that seems to have been his saving grace, another ref may have decided it was a red, others a yellow and others like yesterday, that it was a tackle and the collision was just one of those things.
How much did Spurs pay for Hutton?
I'd give up Dave. You and about 3 others have tried to explain it to them and its still not registering.
