Should Manchester citys Ben Thatcher face assault charge?
if this was done in the street you would certainly be charged, Duncan Fergusson got jailed in scotland for headbutting a player on the pitch.
Answers:
If that attack had happened in the street then Thatcher would have been looking at an ABH charge at the least. Couple this latest incident with his track record and he would surely be spending some time in custody.
Just because he is a football player and he practises his thuggery on the field should not deter the authorities from bringing criminal charges against him.
Also the referee should be counselled for getting his decision totally wrong!
yes.
he certainly should.he didn't look at the ball once, he was going for the guy the whole time.it was a disgrace.
yes, he certainly did that on purpose. He has also done it in the past so he has no excuses
Sounds reasonable to me.
I've not seen the tackle but by all accounts it was pretty nasty. I think given on what I have heard then yes he should.
definatly.if lee bowyer was taken to court when him and dyer had a bitchslap fight.ben thatcher should be
Im a Man City fan ,and i think it was disgusting!
Yes he is only a thug
Of course he should
yes he should be hauled in front of a judge & given a nice lengthy prison term!
WHAT?! why do people want to curb violence in football?
I was at the game last night and was only 3 rows from where it happened. He never looked at the ball once and in my opinion is a complete thug! He is a disgrace to Manchester City and should be given a hefty ban! I am a season ticket holder at Manchester City and in all honesty it was the worst 'challenge' if thats what you can call it that i have seen in a long time.
A lengthy ban is needed and maybe some community service!
yes definatley, it was as good as a punch. he didn't even look sorry or concerned for mendes. I thought Stuart Pearce was a disgrace for saying that the ref made the right decision as the players were going to fast to stop it.
ben thatcher should be banned and locked up for assault if anyone of us did that in a street we would be locked up a proffesional footballer my **** he is a total waste of space
yeah he should the dirty b@stard
Agree with most of what you say excepting Drunken's head butt was a premeditated assault whereas Thatcher has a case for saying it was caused by the speed at which both players were travelling. Dont get me wrong. I think he should get a lengthy ban but I am not generally in favour of the Coppers getting involved in an incident at a football match. If we carry on with that then we will turn it into a game for cissies. OOps! Sorry Christian.
He's a thug, always has been always will be. Yet he always seems to get off scott free. Time to throw the book at the nutcase.
The tackle was criminal in its execution. He sent the poor guy to hospital for goodness sake. So yes he should face charges. I dont know where the referee was looking when he thought it only deserved a yellow card.
Of course he should. Assault is assault whether on the pitch or off. It's no excuse just because you are wearing football kit.
if he gets sent down(which he should),he will walk back into his highley paid job. if i got sent down for a term,for assult. i would deffo have no job to walk straight back into! is this fair?
Thatcher needs to be shot after that challenge. In fact i dont no why im even calling it a challenge, it was assualt pure and simple.
Giv him the death penalty!!
