Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Tails on Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 23:16:13 What a fucking thug he is. Mendes is in hospital tonight and the culprit has got away with not even a one game ban, but because the ref only booked him he'll get away with as technically the issue has been dealt with. Disgusting.
Think what Royce Brownlie was sent off for last night, not even a one millionth as bad as Thatcher's "challenge". Wouldn't be surprised if Mendes sued him for assault. Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: pumbaa on Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 23:45:07 Haven't seen this challenge, but FFS he knocked Mendes unconcious! Just watched the PL highlights show from the w/e and he clattered Ferraira pretty hard on Sunday as well (for the free kick that Terry scored from). Psycho needs to sort him out, and fast.
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: STFCBird on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 00:09:33 What happened then? I heard about it on the radio, sounded nasty!!
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: yeo on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 00:11:04 Ah well shit happens.
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: ron dodgers on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 00:13:46 he cynically struck Mendes so hard (and at full speed) that it knocked him out - it was deliberate, he got away with it though but I'm sure he'll be a marked man from now on.
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: STFCBird on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 00:15:25 Thatcher is shit anyway
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: STFCBird on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 00:16:03 Quote from: "Yeovil Red" Ah well shit happens. Happy Yeovil? Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: yeo on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 00:20:33 Yes Im fine thanks why do I seem sad?
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 08:05:51 it made me laugh
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Johno on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 08:17:14 Talking about referees though, obviously how he gacve him a yellow was stupid but refs in the first two games this season in the premiership have been awful.
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: STFCBird on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 09:25:05 Quote from: "Yeovil Red" Yes Im fine thanks why do I seem sad? Just asking :D Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: neiliodeh on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 10:04:22 i want to see this, anyone got a link?

Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 10:09:07 fucking disgraceful challenge, He elbowed Mendes in th head aswell. :evil:
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Arriba on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 10:22:25 Quote from: "Piemonte" it made me laugh yeah seeing someone having a seizure after being assulted is funny as fuck. :evil: Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: strooood on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 10:23:25 he's a swindon boy doing what they do best :wink:
fucks sake it's footy, everyone knows sometimes you go a bit mental and crunch someone, who cares? Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Scot Munroe on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 10:30:48 the FA are looking to examine the disiplinary(spelling) procedures over Ben Thatcher challenge on Pedro Mendes.

He'll live Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: oxford_fan on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 10:57:34 revolting challenge, i've only seen the replays but thatcher was looking at mendes, not the ball at all
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: The Grim Reaper on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 11:06:05 Had he done it to Ronaldo we would all be cheering.
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Scot Munroe on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 11:30:46 it was a digusting challenge and it has no place of football pitch but maybe in the wrestling ring at ecw.
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: el duque on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 14:47:41 Bit of a cheap shot, but Mendes really ought to have been aware of what was going on around him.
Personally, I would like to see a bit of aggression come back into the game. Not thuggery (punches in the back of the head, 2 footed tackles with studs up) but certainly players being allowed to challenge the goalie for the ball, make full blooded tackles etc. As a great man once said, "Play hard, play fair" Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Doore on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 14:49:41 Quote from: "el duque" Bit of a cheap shot, but Mendes really ought to have been aware of what was going on around him You mean its his fault thatcher creamed him with his elbow at head height, while mendes was trying to clear the ball? Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Northern Red on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 14:50:16 Just seen this tackle on Football First - it's shocking and he should be done for it...
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: SwindonStevo on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 14:52:47 think he went to churchfields so lets be fair hes got a lot to be angry about.

Not his fault, obviously. However, it can't be that difficult to notice a big oaf steaming in to clobber you...

video for the attack for the people who have not seen it, fucking disgracful. Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: paddy on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 16:00:39 good old sunday league challenge
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Bushey Boy on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 16:21:09 Thats a fucking awful challenge.
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 16:40:52 Quote from: "el duque" Quote from: "Doore" Quote from: "el duque" Bit of a cheap shot, but Mendes really ought to have been aware of what was going on around him You mean its his fault thatcher creamed him with his elbow at head height, while mendes was trying to clear the ball? Not his fault, obviously. However, it can't be that difficult to notice a big oaf steaming in to clobber you... Have some fucking respect, that challenge was fucking awful. Why should Mendes have to think 'Oh shit, he's going to clatter me, so I'll just let the ball go and move out of the way'. Thatcher should've realised he was late to the ball and pulled out. Thatcher's a thuggish cunt and it's not the first time he's made a bad challenge like that. Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Bennett on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 16:43:27 he did this to someone else whilst he was at wimbledon didn't he?
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 17:22:01 he did it to buzzer
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Danjackson10 on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 20:28:54 seen worse!
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: McLovin on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 20:48:52 It happens. There aren't enough manly challenges these days, anywho.
At least he apologised... Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, August 24, 2006, 21:14:50 Can't believe he argued with the ref though, unless he was trying to get a red :mrgreen:
If it had happened to a Swindon player everybody on this forum would be up in arms about it. FACT It was a terrible challenge and if Rooney is banned for 3 matches for what he did, Thatcher doesn't deserve to play again this season Not that I agree with Rooney's ban but that's another argument entirely Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Friday, August 25, 2006, 11:48:02 Quote from: "Dave Blackcurrant" It happens. There aren't enough manly challenges these days, anywho. At least he apologised... I agree about manly challenges, how ever that wasnt one. That was ABH! He looked and the guy and elbowed him in the head. Think the coppers should do him! Thatcher is a fucking scumbag Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: fatbury on Friday, August 25, 2006, 11:49:38 How come Dermot Gallagher (ref from OXFORD!!) didnt think it was a red card ..and shouldnt he be banned for not recognising it as such?
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, August 25, 2006, 12:00:36 Quote from: "fatbury" How come Dermot Gallagher (ref from OXFORD!!) didnt think it was a red card ..and shouldnt he be banned for not recognising it as such? Yep - He acknowledged the foul and only gave him a yellow. Idiot. Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Chubbs on Friday, August 25, 2006, 12:52:00 galagher has been dropped form the list of premiership refs, and rightfully so.
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, August 25, 2006, 14:42:12 Quote from: "Chubbs" galagher has been dropped form the list of premiership refs, and rightfully so. Wasn't he the "Head Ref"? Probably why he's been taken off! http://www.itv-football.co.uk/Story/0,14272,6107_1444619,00.html Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: oxford_fan on Saturday, August 26, 2006, 11:15:32 braugh! seeing the challenge again just now on tele, it was quite bad but then i noticed how thatcher puts the elbow in - criminal!
Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: DiV on Saturday, August 26, 2006, 16:46:55 one of the stockport players clearly watched this...
that challenge on Caton.... :shock: Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: DMR on Saturday, August 26, 2006, 19:15:40 that's the greatest thing i've ever seen
good work ben Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: DMR on Saturday, August 26, 2006, 19:16:22 Quote from: "sam_stfc" Thatcher's a thuggish cunt and it's not the first time he's made a bad challenge like that. yes he's the only one ever :roll: Title: Ben Thatcher Post by: lebowski on Saturday, August 26, 2006, 20:09:27 i like the letter on football365...
What is it with Pedro Mendes and the city of Manchester? First he gets mugged in January 2005 whilst playing for Spurs and on his return to the rainy cesspit he gets assaulted against City. What next? Raped against Bolton? You read it here first. Robert Melia |
