If you read the OP he said 'would you have made the same decision?'
So, in fairness Ian is correct.
The Decision was PK Takle in the air
Would I have made the same decision. Why? Because on that basis 99.9% of tackles would be illeagal due to both feet being off the ground in the act of running.
The law on taking the man in the air was not about a tackle situation. it was about jumping for the high ball. To extend it is nonsense.
Was the tackle dangerous in some other way? Is a suplementary question with enough meat to make another thread the best place otherwise the actual question gets lost.
