Just a bit different, isn't it.

No . Both were contact with the head.

You're right, it wasn't his shoulder - that makes the tackle even worse. He should get banned and rightly so.

Luaki was getting ready for collision, front foot forward, lean forward, ie downwards then brace, thus taking force on your front foot with your whole body weight behind.



You dont stand up straight knowing that with straight legs and back you will get put on your backside, you brace, he was leaning into hit nicklas, he was getting his body perfectly positioned as coached from the age of 8 upwards.



No excuses for westerman and will rightly cop a 2.

I think it's clear that he knows we're on the bare bones with injuries as he's one of them, and shouldn't have played. Must have put his hand up to try and help the team, but unfortunately it looked like the wrong decision last night.

for a big man Luaki certainly cannot take a hit to the head like some of the other players do





missed timed/careless by Westerman nothing malicious

one with an arm on a player in the process of bending down, one a swing with a fist, from the side and straight into the face.

I just hope it hasn`t affected Hame`s looks.

Are we banning tackling with the arms now too then? We may as well give up.

Westerman looked to have all the potential in the world when he first came onto the scene at Cas but has gone backwards ever since.

The bans will get longer, hopefully players will change their approach before someone gets seriously injured.

Hits to the head happen in a contact sport. People get kicked in the head in football, should they ban kicking?



Complete over reaction. Yes, punish the ones that DO hit the head, but FFS don't ban them.
