In fact, the more i watch it, the more I wish one of the celtic players twatted him

 

[Vladamir]

Sick, sick tackle.

Can see him getting 5+ match ban for that.

 

[Tasslehoff]

Aye, was nearly sick, when I saw that..

 

[Shagrat]

yep, no excuse for a tackle like that, its a shocker

 

[kirennia]

Pretty harsh tackle to be honest; that guy will be lucky to come out of that withouta broken leg...

Although I must complain at whatever idiot posted up that whole vid, wtf is the point in posting up the same goal repeatedly before and after? I mean really, it was an alright goal seen every week but really, the repeating annoyed me quite a lot

And yes, I should've just skipped past it...

 

[leviathane]

theres no place in football for a tackle like that imo. Disgusting play.

 

[Rookiescot]

Dirty challange.

Not like we have never seen Scott Brown do that to anyone else is it?

 

[Litmus]

Shocking tackle, amazased he didnt pick up any injury and managed to play on. The guy that did the tackle should be looking at the maximum punishment possible.

 

[Corran]

That tackle is shocking, right up there with the Keano challenge in fact. Scott Brown is rather lucky to have not broken his leg, hell he lucky that challenge didnt end his career. Browny must have some rather elastic bones in that leg.

Even though he continued for awhile, shock horror he is in some pain with it... but for Scotlands sake I hope he is at full fitness for the Italy match, they are going to need the lad in that match.

The guy who sent off has issued an apology today.

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Celtic | Binya sorry for tackle on Brown

He shouldnt have been a prick, Brown could have had his career ended, much like Alfie Haaland

aye heard he had apologised whilst listening to radio, thing is he had little choice but to do so as it was so awful and he is under investigation.

this sort of career threatening tackle needs to be prevented, so it time Uefa set a precedant. I would like to see them ban this guy for the rest of this years tournament and next years tournaments if his club qualified for any of the cups.
Harsh? Yes. But this will show that they will not stand by and let people get away with career threatening challenges. He may not be able to play in the competitions for 2 seasons, but that no where near as bad as letting this continue and a player never being able to play again.

Yea, look at Navarro, he got 6 month ban for smacking someone at the World Cup, was highly entertaining at the time. But it was no way as career threatening as that tackle on Tuesday night

 

[Ixnay]

It was a very nasty challenge, ashame Neil Lennon wasn't still playing and in Browns position when that tackle came in
