That tackle

[City123]

Some are labelling it "one of the worst tackles ever"

Get a grip, had the referee done his job properly last night Ireland would have already been down to ten by that point

Really unfortunate tackle, but I can't help thinking that some of the blame for the physical nature of the game has to be placed at the door of Roy Keane. He publicly said they were going to need to kick Bale & co to keep them quiet. Whelan should have gone for an elbow, I think the Ref let too much go. No directly attributing this to the Taylor challenge, but it set up the mood of the game.

Have to agree with this.

Have to agree with this.

as has been mentioned if the dick of a ref had done his job properly (and that means not favouring the irish) then possibly this accident wouldn`t have happened. 50/50 ball never a sending off , the republic (and some of our lot) have a fking nerve having a go at Taylor after their rough house tactics.

Wouldn't Coleman have had to be in possession of the ball for it be a "tackle"?

Not to be insensitive, but it could be argued that Coleman was just as "reckless" as Taylor. The ball wasn't his to lose, he didn't have to go charging in for it.
