Interestingly - someone on question time the other night referred to Farage as a 'Moron' - not that I could comment!
you don't swing your leg when making a block tackle, so there is little or no follow through. and your foot should be behind the ball, not over the top of the ball as chapman's unfortunately was. if you think that is bizarre, fair enough.BIt of a bizarre paragraph, bar the final bit which I agree with.
If you go into a block tackle and the ball is nicked away, you still follow through. Your foot won't stop if there's nothing there (a ball) to stop it!
But you have to lift and then put your leg down somewhere in the process. I would like to think that Chapman was in the process of putting his foot down in front of where the ball was before the Cambridge player beat him to it and substituted his leg for where the ball had been.you don't swing your leg when making a block tackle, so there is little or no follow through. and your foot should be behind the ball, not over the top of the ball as chapman's unfortunately was. if you think that is bizarre, fair enough.
there are some good examples here:

yes, late and high, and a technically poor block tackle using a swinging leg. 'i just put my foot on his shin because it was where the ball had been' - doesn't sound great, hope he doesn't use that in the appeal )).But you have to lift and then put your leg down somewhere in the process.

It wasn't much of a swinging leg and certainly no lunge. Poor technique doesn't make it dangerous, reckless or likely to cause the opponent injury. Especially when you can see he is trying to pull out of the challenge once he realises he is late.yes, late and high, and a technically poor block tackle using a swinging leg.

Or hack one down from behind with the ball nowhere near enough to touch.But if you're a Manchester city player you can catch a player on the thigh and only get a yellow ......
Joe Dunne says it was not a red card, and he was standing less than ten yards away with a perfect view. The player so heinously offended - Gary Deegan - also says it was not a red card. He had a very good view of it, I would say.
You should wash it more often.If that was a sending of my cocks a kipper!
yes, seen more dangerous tackles, also seen players sent off for less. going in for a ball like that, which chapman obviously thought he could win, there's a risk. and if it turns out that you don't win it, or even get near the ball, and end up on the fellas shin... there's a possible consequence.It wasn't much of a swinging leg and certainly no lunge.

But if there's no 'impact' in the block tackle, there's still a follow through, which is what it was.you don't swing your leg when making a block tackle, so there is little or no follow through. and your foot should be behind the ball, not over the top of the ball as chapman's unfortunately was. if you think that is bizarre, fair enough.
