No way to carry on

IS somebody going to have to die before the clowns at the FA decide to take action against the ever-increasing horror tackles which continue to blight the game?

Brentford striker Nathan Elder, was left with a fractured eye socket and cheekbone after an ugly clash with Rotherham midfielder Pablo Mills at the weekend. This coming hot on the heels of Kevin Nolan’s sickening two-footed stamp on Everton’s Victor Anichebe a few weeks ago.

Anichebe’s operation was said to be a success, but nevertheless, he has been ruled out for the rest of the season. You have to feel for David Moyes, when he loses a player for the season, on top of all the other injuries Everton have had to deal with, whilst Nolan gets away with a three-game ban. Ben Thatcher was handed an eight-game ban in 2006, after the FA reviewed his brutal forearm smash on Portsmouth’s Pedro Mendes, so what’s changed? If further action can be taken once, surely it can be taken again.
