A lad I went to school with hung himself a few years ago in his sitting room while his wife and young kids were at Mass. They walked in and found his body. Grim. Don't know how they'll ever get over it.
Bales was a potential leg breaker too. Martin O Neill was telling Irish tv after that O Shea had a bad gash on his leg after. But I don't think either tackle was malicious at all. Don't know what was going through Taylor's head for the challenge though.
In fairness we were a bit tasty ourselves in the first half with the odd elbow and leaving the foot in. Taylor's tackle went well above and beyond that though
