       This last weekend saw Özer Özdemir of Denizlispor was sent off
       for this awful challenge on Sunday.

       There was also a reference from Wycombe'd twitter feed that
       referenced a challenge by Wycombe's Jason Cousins against
       Doncaster 25 years ago:

       Incredibly he got a second yellow by the looks of it - was Mike
       Pierce the referee.
       I dare say there are much worse around though, and maybe some
       not getting the red card they deserve.

       2nd yellow! That's shocking even by the good old day standards!

       Looks like Michael Pierce, small chap with a moustache. No idea
       on the AR. Dreadful red card tackle, even by the standards of
       the day.

       Definitely Mike Pierce - usually never to slow to brandish a
       card.  Perhaps it did not look so bad from his angle?

       Possibly even more surprising than the fact that only a yellow
       card was shown was the reaction of the players.  If that
       happened now I suspect so many would have piled in that there
       would have been a near riot.

       The only angle that wouldn't have looked so bad from was the
       other side of the stand.

       Terrible tackle, or was it an assault?
       What I loved about the wholle incident is that the Doncaster
       player just got up and carried on after the altercation.
       Same thing happens these days and we would have been deafened by
       the scream, he would have rolled around a lot holding his face,
       irrespective of the  fact that the the impact was at the top of
       the leg/hip area, obviously whilst keeping an eye on the
       officials to ensure that they could see how badly injured he was
       and, once the charade had been acted out, he would have
       continued playing.
       Definitely don't want to go back to nasty tackles like that,
       however, it would be refreshing if the victims of much less
       horrific incidents would stop all the play acting, it really is
       getting tiresome at all levels of the game.

       I don't know what's worse - the challenge or the Wycombe players
       arguing about the sanction!!
