[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 281990"] Unintentionally stamped on his head, or unintentionally stamped, full stop? Utter nonsence, as unless he lost control of his leg for a minute, he meant to stamp on Healey. Next comes the interpretation of 'unintentionally stamped on his head'. If he meant to stamp on the guy (he must have), he either meant it to stamp on his face, or didn't care where it landed. Because he did hit the face, he should have been up for the full 58 weeks, not the 8 he was. Truly baffling verdict. Putting something a bit more serious in it's place, it's like a jury coming back with manslaugher instead of murder with a stabbing, because the guy was meant to stab someone but didn't aim for the heart, he was just waving it around aimlessly and where it hit was pot luck. It happened to hit his heart, but he didn't mean to as it might have just hit his leg. Probably slightly out, but not far imo. Edit: Their verdict basically means that they believed (or there wasn't enough evidence against) that he didn't realise Healey was there atall, and he was just continuing to maul as he would have anyway. The video clearly shows a different story, with a few Munster players giving him a quick shoeing (none of the others were dangerous), then Hayes basically using him like a staircase. [/QUOTE]
