Jamie Allen Assault (10 Viewers)

[skyblue_55]

I’ve been to loads of matches , watching my beloved Skyblues , but THAT double tackle , was I believe, the worst I have ever witnessed .
Surely the club should be sending a complaint in , along with all the televised clips , as Jamie was lucky to hopefully escape with a few bruises today , instead of a broken leg & jaw ?

Massive turning point , awful challenge

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Was a terrible challenge but - as I’ve said in the other thread I was less surprised that Sakamoto wasn’t sent off for kicking out after he was fouled.

I don’t know if 55 refers to your birth year but if you don’t remember Summerbee on Froggatt, Megson on Emerson, or even Humphrey on Smith then I’m pleased for you.

Youssef Safri playing for us broke Colin Healy’s leg with a terrible tackle at HR and Robert Page knocked out several of Michael Doyle’s teeth in training.

Allen did the lad a massive favour by not going down like he'd been shot.

 

[Grendel]

The Summerbee tackle was horrific

 

[fernandopartridge]

Jay Mceveley on Lameiras is another one that sticks in the memory. I'm surprised the Safri one on Healy isn't featured in Sunderland's fatwa against us, but then again I suppose it evens out the Summerbee one. IIRC Healy was never the same player (he was decent too in his loan spell here).

 

[rondog1973]

Salako's leg breaking challenge on Steve Harkness was one that would probably yield a 6 game ban these days. Don't think he was even booked!

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Aside from being a violent c***, Nicky Summerbee was one of the worst professional footballers I’ve ever seen in the flesh. One game against us at HR he was continually dribbling the ball out of play.

Nasty, vindictive guy.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Bryan Robson was also a dirty sod, but at least he was a great player.

It's wasn't as bad as the Sheffield United one at Bramall Lane several seasons ago and there has been worse challenges in other games in recent weeks. Yes they may have received a red, but your are saying it's the worst challenge have ever witnessed? That is either complete hyperbole or you haven't watched much football.

I have seen Bryan Robson and Graeme Souness do far worse tackles on a Coventry midfielder, I am talking wiping a player out at knee height and we didn't even get a free kick, let alone a booking or a sending off. It was a bad reckless challenge; but worst ever? Get a grip

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He had previously hit Collins after the ball had well gone
That was a yellow or at least a word

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Bryan Robson was also a dirty sod, but at least he was a great player.

Same as Roy Keane, that tackle on Haaland he should of been charged with assault.

Summerbee, Megson, Souness and Bryan Robson in that order

Summerbee, Megson, Souness and Bryan Robson in that order

Don't forget Ian Wright, broke Oggys nose and then tried to break Richards Shaws leg.

Has anyone got a clip of this? I was outraged at the time but views can be distorted in the heat of the battle when everyone around is enraged and it wasn't on the highlights reel. Would like a closer look to see if it's as bad as I think I was.

It was bad

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I’m convinced Jamie Allen getting up and squaring up rather than rolling around was an issue - Allen should have screamed and played up to it

It was probably even worse than you thought.

 

[Nick]

I reckon Allen would have done him in a scrap.

 

[Ashdown]

Allen looked ridiculous against that load of giants.

 

[Travs]

Konjic basically decked Chris Sutton in front of the West Terrace, after receiving loads of rough treatment all games.

Stuff today does pale in comparison really.

There's been loads worse challenges than that. It's just we have UHD, tons of angles and super slow mo's now. Every challenge looks worse in slow motion. The elbow on him that broke his jaw was worse.

Michael Doyle would do one of those challenges every single game a few years ago, always made sure he slapped or punched a player on the follow through. Used to get away with it 9/10 and when he didn't it would just be a booking.

Football in 2025 is getting far too soft.

 

[gspotgaz]

in the modern game it was a red but as others have said Allen should’ve rolled on the floor as these awful referees go off stuff like that

Don't remember Humphrey. The other two were career ending tackles. Don't think Froggatt ever played again and Emerson went from brilliant to very poor. Megson did another of our players, possibly Gynn? Brian Clough bought Megson then sacked him right away saying he was a thug.

This is the ref that has not shown a red card this season. Wonder why? Don't usually show incidents like that on highlights, so producer obviously thought it was a red/
