Did Hansen get "Tupped" Not a word from Curly Larry and Mow but I'm sure the second Clash was "Intentional" or is it just me?

IMO yes. Said this earlier.

Fair bit of niggle and ground work today, but imo he was just ducking his head into a drive there. Hansen was unlucky.

I would say so, and it's just part of the game. There's plenty of niggles and hits, often taken when they can be taken and in this case it could be argued as not being, but I expect anyone who has ever played the game would say it was a nice little tupp.

Accidental, and that's why none of his teams stepped in.

He was driving forward and trying to wrestle free with his upper body/head, Hansen was unfortunate to be in the way. Slow it right down on replay and it looks like a classic headbutt action but that's slow motion and pretty sure Dickens wasn't seeking out Hansen to do that. They were both all smiles and handshakes at the end of the game anyway.

No one drives the ball in using their head. It was a deliberate headbutt after the initial accidental clash of heads.

You've obviously never seen Ben Cross.

Accidental i thnk

I think it was deliberate looking at the way his head moves it looks more deliberate head butt rather than accidental collision.

Definately deliberate

I think it was definatly deliberate but what concerns me more was not one mention questioning the act. If that had been a Wigan player and Stevo and Eddie had been commentating they would have been onto it in a flash.
Something else I would like to ask is,is it a condition of getting a job as Stevo and Eddies understudies that you have to show as much anti Wigan feeling as they did tonight. I would also be worried if that was the best job I could get. Understudy to a couple of clowns.

I would just like to say well played Fev,you took us the distance and where not overawed.
The younger fans may now understand what fear and dread going to Fev put into visiting teams and those days all teams where all semi pro.

Definite head butt by I think by Dickens. The first clash was accidental, but he strains his neck for the second impact and was in my opinion deliberate.

Talking of Larry Curly and Moe, I thought Eddie and Stevo were biased.

We know why McDermott hates Wigan because they 'showed him the door', but the worst speaker of biased tripe was Carney .

If those three had a couple of braincells between them, they could rub them both together and make smoke.

Carney has a law degree

So what ?

I also have an honours degree. Counts for nowt on here !

So he's trained to lie when paid for it.

first one wasnt second one was

Well you claimed he didn't have a brain cell. I just confirmed he has.

I thought the commentary team did a good job tonight personally. They were always going to talk Fev up in the hope of an upset because that's what they do in that situation.

I agree. The commentary was much better than the drivel usually dished out by Tweedledum and Tweedledumber in SL matches.

First one was accidental, second one was a headbutt.

Hardly an endoresment, to be better than the usual muppets.

I think they had a difficult job, and didn't do it too well. They were far too excitable, when the match was exciting enough. I normally like Carney but he was poor last night in my view. Probably too much of a Wigan slant in the team for an old fashioned blood and thunder cup tie, and they like the onfield team, struggled to come to terms with the conditions.

Oh, back on topic

The first clash looked accidental, the second, i'm not so sure. I thought it looked like it was a butt too, but only the perpatrator knows for sure.

I don't think it was deliberate. I have watched it again this morning, and it appears the second contact is when the Fev player is trying to wrestle his way out the tackle, the momentum of his body jerking forward, thus taking his body forward and head forward into Hansen, nowt in it.

Sure I saw on twitter last night that he broke his nose and cheekbone. Anyone know if this is true? Hope not. He's been a machine this year.
