Here in the States a driver can get convicted for involuntary manslaughter if they accidentally run over someone while speeding/drinking/etc. Intent is totally irrelevant. It's called reckless endangerment or criminal negligence.
I'm sure Hunt didn't mean to hurt Petr, but the challenge itself was reckless and his failure to pull out was negligent. He says the speed at which they were both moving made a collision inevitable--if he could see that, he could also see that the best course of action was to jump out of the way. DUH!!! What the hell was he thinking going in like that in the first minute of the match? It's not like that was going to be his only opportunity to score or that his team were 1-0 down and he was desperate for a last-minute equalizer. People need to hold their hands up and have a care for their actions. End of.
Mike Riley is a horrible little man who should not be on the planet, much less the football pitch. But the real villains are the FA, who continually allow these nitwits to remain in the job. A pox on the lot of them.
I was thinking about that the other night. If you swerve off the road because you are driving too fast and you hit someone and kill them, you get done for driving without due care and attention (or some such rubbish). When you got in your car, you intention probably wasn't to kill someone, but you did. Hunt, I'm sure, didn't intend to hurt Petr. But he did. What's the difference?
