These guys are moving at speed on a surface that is difficult to change direction on. Whilst holding a stick, trying to hit an object or stop another from doing so. It's very physical. We know it looks atrocious, but that's why it's all the more important to allow those that know to make proper assessments. If it turns out the chap that did it, did so out of malice, then fair enough-chuck the book at him then. Quote

Doesn't necessarily mean any wrongdoing. Quote
Site Supporter Spider Posted October 30, 2023 Site Supporter Posted October 30, 2023 This is a sport where you are entitled to have a gloves off punch up occasionally and it’s all legit. Dashing about at high speed with big razor blades on your feet tells me it’s fckin dangerous full stop. If it was happening every week, then maybe an issue but this is a freak, billion to one shot for me. Quote

It also says the chap bumped into another initially, which upset his balance slightly. The rest is a terrible tragedy. Quote
Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted October 30, 2023 Members Posted October 30, 2023 There has been suggestions that his skate clipped the back of another player's skate, sending him off balance It's difficult to see from the footage either way but it does a seem quite plausible explanation to me But then I believe the player in question has a bit of a reputation for being overly aggressive so who knows 🤷 Quote

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted November 14, 2023 Site Supporter Posted November 14, 2023 Don't think a "criminal" investigation is always initiated in a sudden death. However, being arrested means they want to interview him under caution, but that is totally different to being charged. Another, unsurprising, pre judging event sadly. Quote

I said it looked like manslaughter, and he has now been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. Quote
