CONT

Une «cravate» est un acte de jeu dangereux. Un joueur effectue une «cravate» lorsqu'il raidit un bras et frappe ainsi un adversaire au cou ou à la tête.

CONT

Sur l'action, je vois Perugini lui faire une machette. [...] Benoît Baby, pour un geste répréhensible certes mais pas dangereux, écope de quatre semaines et sur une cravate de Perugini qui assassine et risque d'entraîner l'infirmité à vie de Christophe Dominici, il n'y a rien!
