that Souness tackle vs Steaua

[Alan_Morton]

It's an unpopular opinion and got quite a bit of flak for it on the old board but I really don't get people who obsess and love that challenge, it was horrific and every bit as outrageous as Neil Simpson's on Durrant. Souness was a fabulous player and hard as nails but that particular challenge was disgusting and nothing to celebrate.

 

[Grimsdale]

Hardly made contact, if at all. Guy just dives down. Pathetic.

 

[bearett]

Remember it well, I was in min stand that night.

 

[The Hawk]

What do you mean? Jonson nutmegged him earlier in the game! That was asking for trouble…

Yes.... clearly Souness had no choice

 

[Laudo.]

whilst at Liverpool in the Semi final of the European Cup at Anfield vs Dinamo Bucharest he broke on their players jaws with a punch!

he was a hunted man in the 2nd leg

These things happen....

 

[Snakehips]

Yes.... clearly Souness had no choice

To be fair, Souness acknowledged it was a bad one and apologised after it.

If anyone wants to check out a perfect example of how physical a European fixture could be during that era, I would point them in the direction of our away fixture vs Borrussia Moechengladbach. What a kicking Davie Cooper took.

 

[Harryrfc]

Said it before...this is why we need var,I've watched that a few times now and I think there may have been some contact.

Was that not in Kiev?

Definitely wasn't Kiev as he scored a hat-trick against Dunfermline prior to the away leg and a hat-trick against Morton before the home leg.
