Tackles in the Rain

[Peanut]

When the rain is heavy during the game, you know that eventually someone is going to give it the full blooded sliding tackle.
I didn't have to wait too long. A shame the ball had left the frame by this stage, it was probably in the hedge before these guys landed!

Red card offense? Two footed tackle, naughty!

To be fair, as robust as it was, both players got up, and got on with it. The ref had whistle to mouth, but I think after seeing the players just get on with things, he decided to let it go. Very refreshing to see, and at this level of football, not uncommon, players and ref all being men!!

Love it, though my initial thoughts were in line with your own about the ball
