Podcast Special: Is the art of tackling being eradicated from our game?
By MirrorFootball Podcast
Published 16:13 12/01/12
On this week's MirrorFootball Podcast we discuss the issue of the good old-fashioned tackle and ask whether it's being gradually removed from the modern game, after Vincent Kompany's red card in the Manchester derby.
Joining Steve Anglesey on the show to debate this are Daily Mirror's chief football writer Martin Lipton, the always-composed former England centre half Gareth Southgate and MirrorFootball columnist and a man who was never shy of a 50-50 during his career, Robbie Savage.
Gareth Southgate was speaking at the launch of the Carlsberg Pub Cup, a nationwide five aside competition for players of all standards. To register your pub visit www.carlsberg.co.uk/pubcup . Carlsberg is The Official Beer of The England Football Team and sponsor of UEFA EURO 2012™.
