‘beyond a shocker’ ‘board should be coming out screaming about this’ ‘Compliance officer take note’ Fans react to new image of Turnbull attack

A new image has shown just how close David Turnbull came to serious injury at Tannadice yesterday.

Taking the ball forward on the left wing the midfielder felt the full body-weight of Callum Butcher come crashing through his lower leg, as the picture shows the impact looks horrific.

With his leg bent at the knee the Dundee United man was able to get added impact as he cleaned out his opponent.

Don Robertson and his assistant David Roome both had clear uninterrupted views of the incident. How they come up with an outcome of yellow card really needs explaining.

An offside call, right or wrong, doesn’t put the career of any player at risk, yesterday there was a serious risk to the leg of Turnbull.

Subconsciously every player in Scotland will have noted what happened, it seems that it is almost impossible to get a straight red card in this country meaning that further challenges like Butcher’s are more likely.
