1.) this isn't rugby
2.) stamping on someones head - would be given abh/gbh minimum imo
3.) there was absolutely no need for it to come charging over like alexander the great - prick
2. No way is it GBH or ABH. Assult at best https://www.iydl.co.uk/legal-blog/offence-against-person-common-assault-assault-pc-abh-and-gbh
3. Agree, no need for it and quite rightly he's been charged.
Stepping onto a football pitch doesn’t and shouldn’t allow an opponent to do anything they like to you.
Why they all stayed on the pitch is beyond me?
He had his foot raised and was moving himself around to have another dig......little arsehole!
Love to meet up with him and pin his ears back!
At the very least it would have been a violent attack on the linesman.
Thank god for Solly.
Think they'd been taking lessons off Millwall.
2.) Henry has answered that.
3.) 100% agree.
What a man.

In terms of any rules / video technology then for me its at the very bottom
The first thing that needs to be done to correct that is to put a bullet in the head of anyone who comes out with the line: "But its football" if there is a suggested change to the law to bring it more up to date - A lot of people seem to think that just because its fast flowing and exciting as a Sport (at times) then it should be left alone but all thats being done is its being left behind
ABH means Actual Bodily Harm i.e. a lesser offence but includes things like broken teeth, broken nose etc. Given that Taylor was up and grinning within seconds and neither he or the club have mentioned any injury whatsoever, I am struggling to understand why you believe he suffered ABH.
