Disgusting. I wouldn't care if he was banned for life.

My thoughts to Pedro Mendes.

Apparently on Man City's trip to China preseason he puntured somebodies lung having elbowed a player during a friendly. He was sent off in the same game for two bookable offences.

The Thatcher assault. With a name tlike that you knew he'd be evil though Wink

Thanks for posting the clip.  DISGRACEFUL!  He should get a life time ban and face criminal charges for assault for doing this.

Good to hear. I've seen people arrested for less on CCTV.

How Pearce has tried to defend that I don't know.

Apparently he has apologised in writing.

This is not the first time Thatcher has done this.  A few years ago when he played for Wimbledon he did something quite similar and everyone said then how it was the worst thing they have seen for ages, although i can't remember the incident exactly it was terrible! 

Just saw this on skysports, it was against Sunderland and i think they said it was Nicky Summerbee.
It is worse!!!!

Dear Mr Mendes

I am really sorry for pounding your face in with my elbow. I don't quite know how it happened but I won't do it again to you. Cheesy

Doesn't wash it in my book.  If it was the first time he'd ever done something like this, then maybe, but it's assault.

Maybe the boys in blue have something to do with the apology?

Pedro would surely have a case for prosecution if he wanted?

  Every season we see tackles that can be seen as career threatening.What Thatcher done was potentially life threatening with Pedro having a seizure.

  I just hope that Pedro Mendes decides to prosecute,because without a prosecution then the F A won't punish Thatcher with what he probably deserves.

  Also Stuart Pearce will be under a lot of pressure to do (in the supporters eyes) the right thing.

  What Thatcher deserves and what is the right thing to do is anybody's guess.Below is an extended clip of the challenge,turn the volume up and the horror becomes greater.

I was dissapointed with Pearce's quotes after the game. IMO that is a 10 game ban challange. I would love to see Thatcher answer one question, 'was it intentional?' and if it answered no I would double it.

If he had accidentally caught him he would have acknowleged Mendes as he got up.

Thats at least his third strike, get him out.
