Skeletor Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I see it's been confirmed Butt did break Alves' foot with that tackle. Tbh, I thought it was shocking. No intention of playing the ball, and probably worse than Barton's the week earlier, but "model-pro Nicky Butt" will never get such criticism. Doesn't look good on us though... Guthrie on Fagan. Nolan on Anichebe. Barton on Alonso. Butt on Alves. Lee Cattermole evens everything out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TêteDeMaure Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 As opposed to? Cattermole on Beye. Cattermole on Barton. Cattermole on Digard. Cattermole on Parker. Cattermole on Mikel. That's just off the top of my head. Ah yes, they were all hard but fair weren't they? Give over man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I honestly feel sorry for Southgate, think he's a decent young manager... I would prefer both teams to stay up. Obviously if it's them or us though, it has to be them. What's decent about him? I think he's s**** personally. Southgates a genuine, nice guy. But you know where nice guys finish don't you ? You're ridiculously paranoid Phil. Say that next time you're shrieking at a bad tackle against us going unpunished, matey ! (Well, maybe NEARLY every week, eh ?)

Nolan on Anichebe. Barton on Alonso. Butt on Alves. Butt knew Boro were breaking on us and it was a tactical foul, to take the booking & to stop the move as it looked dangerous for us. Obviously he didnt mean to break his foot, nor even hurt him, just bring him down with a sliding tackle (like a shirt pull foul), and he caught him awkwardly. Bartons was in Liverpools own half, at the corner flag, went in two footed & Alonso was at walking pace. I know where you are coming from but I wouldnt put them in the same category.

Oakie Doke Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 If you watch the highlights on NUFCTV, it says Alves broke his foot in another scenario, not in Butts tackle. It showed a picture of him stumbling in our penalty area with no player within 2 metres of him. Thats what they reckon did it. yeah that's what Setanta thought happened too.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 What Butt did is commonplace, we need players who can do those things in the team... we shouldn't be ashamed of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 didn't Alves carry on playing anyway? Like hindu times says, he landed awkwardly in the box a fair while after Butt had caught him and that's when he had to be stretchered off. SSN are making it look like it was Butt's fault.

lovejoy Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 the butt tackle was nowt, it was an expercienced tackle to stop the move as already mentioned, i knew it was coming from the moment he pointed duff (i think) to go witht hte runner whilst he flew in. as Ian W said, its commonplace, and iwas delighted he did it, was equally delighted with what nolan did for his yellow (again i think) as it was a similar situation and done to break up the move. remeber ole (rear) gunner (i think) on rob lee (i think, fuck me i dont know much!) a years ago against manure?

Oakie Doke Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 tbh I thought Nolan could have easily won the ball rather than blocking the player off and consequently getting booked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Late to the post-match reaction but yeah, thoroughly enjoyed it as you can imagine. Almost lost my voice from all the chanting/screaming, but was worth it. Generally electric atmosphere, and a surprisingly impressive performance. Honestly thought it was going to be doom and gloom after the unfortunate Boro goal, but nothing like it - you came right back into it and in the end, could have had more than 3.
