    See if you can find the 30 seconds prior to that incident.
    Somehow, I doubt they will show it.
    Keep seeing this mentioned how the Dartford player 'strangled' the Welling player.

    The fact is whatever occurred before this incident did not 

    1. Result in the Welling player unable to continue
    2.  Justify doing that to an opponent (who will now have an operation on Wednesday as a result)

    Seeing Welling 'fans' justify this challenge on X, and along with that manager, seems like a club that is on a path that I would not waste my time on.

    If the ref booked the Welling player does that mean there can’t be any retrospective action?

    “Two wrongs a make a right” is an interesting defence.

    Having seen the comment 'justifying' this challenge, worth remembering this is the same Welling that crocked Leaburn a couple of seasons back.

    The referee must be blind to only dish out a yellow for that.

    Difficult to see clearly but it looks like he puts his elbow in the face.

    Fuck off mate - what exactly warrants that from that piece of shit player?

    If you had seen the shithousery prior, you may look at it differently.
    Anyway, fa cup draw and potentially faversham away 05/09

    That’s completely irrelevant. If that had happened in Welling High St and not on a football pitch the bloke would have committed assault. I’m not sure give the obvious evidence that he still won’t be charged.

    I don't think he saw it properly and the linesman was on the other side of the pitch. The ref was pretty weak all game.

    To be honest, when I saw it at the time I didn't think it looked that bad. I even said that whilst it didn't warrant a red, you've seen them given. I was surprised they had to take him off as I thought it was just his nose as he a had a wad of cotton up one nostril.

    Obviously having seen the footage, it was a lot worse than I thought it was.

    Not defending the challenge at all but as I said, the ref was weak from the start and maybe if he'd dealt with the shithousery from Tennent in the first place, it wouldn't have happened.

    I went to Tonbridge Angels v Faversham a few years back on the same weekend of the beer fest. Very enjoyable, well worth going.

    Yeah, but what if it happened in Welling High Street?

    Bloody hell, just catching up on some discussions I missed.
    One of the worst fouls I've seen on a football pitch.
    Not really a foul, more GBH.

    They got an absolute spanking at Cray Wanderers on Monday

    Was an even game that could have gone either way, but once Cray got the 2nd they seemed to step up. Suspect not playing on Saturday helped them.

    Feisty game with 5 goals and 2 reds.

    I’ve a lifelong like with Welling, but must say I’ve really not taken to their current manager and style.

    Just seen this - shocking.
    Unfortunately the FA cannot take retrospective action as the ref saw the incident and took action by issuing a yellow. They can only take action if the ref missed the incident.
    That said, it is very rare but there is legal precedent for criminal action to be taken where there is wanton violence for an on-the-ball incident that goes beyond the contact element of the game. R v Chapman 2010

    Not as bad, but there was another one on Monday where from my angle it looked like the defender went into an aerial challenge shoulder first with a fair bit of pace. I thought it looked bad at time but fella got up ok though. Can see at 42 secs on these highlights.

    Not sure if he was the same player who later got a 2nd yellow for following in on the keeper
