Yes , it seemed odd that they kept saying our enquiries will continue

Suggested something awry from the start.

Haven't seen the "action" and will pass on watching it now

Seems bit strange, while it was very reckless it wil be very hard to prove there was intent

I've seen the footage Wolfie.
When both players go down, the Sheffield player sweeps his leg behind himself, causing the injury.
It may have been a natural movement so I don't see how they can prove manslaughter.

Wow .... I've hidden away from it but I figure , how bad can it be ?

Bad , and the more I see it the worse it looks but let the Courts sort that out .

Police have arrested Hockey player Matt Petgrave and charged him with manslaughter in the death of Adam Johnson.

Every video interview I've seen from former pro players have said the same thing, its the most unnatural leg position you would have in that situation,  one from fox news in America went on record saying, he 100% thinks he had the intent to injure the victim, and it's basically gone much worse then he imagined.  On a side note, he's the Duncan Ferguson mixed with Vinnie Jones of the hockey world.  Most disciplinary action against him this season in the entire league.  Make of that what you will...?
