Callum Butcher

Did he shag your missus or something?

did he get a ban for flicking someone's cock ?

Whatever your opinion on the tackle, I still don't support folk throwing words like coward at people and using the Internet to do it. I wonder if he'd tell Callum to his face that he's a coward? I suspect not

Yeah, wasn't supporting the coward comment, was supporting the general opinion.
FWIW after I got attacked post match for a similar tackle I realised I regretted it as it could have injured the player or even worse
I fely guilty tbh but learned from my guilt and never again put in a tackle that could intentionally injure a player.

Yep

Not sure I'd agree with that, best we have played this season is with Levitt, Harkes and Fuchs in midfield, you wouldnt say 2 out of that 3 were anywhere near warriors

This is true, I'd agree that's our best midfield. I'd also say, if any of them are injured (as is the case at the moment) then next best is with Butcher in.

Yes, but Levitt has hardly played. Harkes isn't in the warrior category and add to that Clark Pawlett Sporle Appere Niskanen etc
Look at the way teams bully us physically especially recently Ross County and Motherwell.
We need some taller harder players, not easy to find but other clubs find them.

I think that depends on the opposition

I didn't think they reviewed incidents the referee dealt with at the time (Butcher got a yellow). They must have changed the policy but it's pretty stupid is they have, IMHO.

That's fair.

I do think it something that needs looked at, how would you feel if that had happened to fuchs and the leg actually broke (which could have easily happened) and the boy only got a yellow ?

This was my thinking too, who knows though with our governing body anything is possible.
