Do you even football?
A reckless tackle is dangerous play and always has been. Same as when you jump in two footed and win the ball, despite your opponent being thrown into the air. That's why those sort of tackles are discouraged, because someone could break a leg!
What 'everyone thought' in real time is immaterial.
But it wasn't dangerous play, it wasn't 2-footed, it wasn't a high challenge.
But he used 'excessive force' and was 'reckless'. That is enough for it to be dangerous play.
2 footed tackles or high challenges are other examples of dangerous play - not the limits of dangerous play.
He went in cleanly to block the shot and Shaw was shaping to shoot which caused the damage.
😆 How on earth can you call that a clean tackle when his follow through tears Shaw's leg off?
There was no intent or malice involved.
This literally does not matter. I thought after years of Dan Smith, Martin Taylor and Ryan Shawcross, you'd understand that intent doesn't count for jack shit. If anything, it makes you even more of a lumbering oaf since you can't even control yourself.
