The other games today - 2009/10


Recommended Posts

well i've just seen it now and i stand by what i say. it was a bad tackle. poor aaron.

 

Poor Aaron Ramsey indeed but it wasn't a bad tackle.

 

he was very late and the sheer force of it made it look even worse.

 

The whole incident was over in under a second.  Not sure how there was time for him to be very late.

He was late but certainly not very late, the speed and force they were both going at certainly made it worse.

 

It wasn't even a tackle, they were both going for a loose ball and Ramsey got there just before the defender and it was very unfortunate that he broke his leg.

As it's been said, it could easily of went either way, you see attempts for these balls a 100 times a game. It's just down to very bad luck.

Shawcross named in the England squad....

 

Hurting sheepshaggers counts in Fabio's book.....Cahill needs to nail the hunchback of Cardiff if he wants to progress.

 

Full squad:David James, Robert Green, Joe Hart; Wes Brown, James Milner, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Joleon Lescott, Ryan Shawcross, Leighton Baines, Stephen Warnock; David Beckham, Theo Walcott, Frank Lampard, Gareth Barry, Steven Gerrard, Michael Carrick, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Stewart Downing; Emile Heskey, Jermain Defoe, Wayne Rooney, Peter Crouch, Carlton Cole

 

 

 

Milner at RB?

I wound it back on Sky+ and it was a 50/50 tackle which shouldn't have resulted in a red card. Shawcross was genuinely distraught. Certainly no intent to cause the injury that happened.

 

Agreed watched it back a few times and i agree about it being 50/50, not nice but the strongest shin won, troubles me when I see the crap players now where on their legs, some shin protection would do naff all in the event of a strong collision.

played in a school game where one of our lads had his shinpad cracked in two in a 50/50 challenge.  Was a miracle there was little damage to his leg other than some heavy bruising in all honesty.

 

Misunderstood my point, The crap some players where on their shins is disgusting, fair enough the materials used such as carbon fibre, kevlar etc can reduce the thickness of them but alot of players now wear pads that barely covers 10% of the shin. Agreed at school /sunday football I rarely witnessed a broken leg (2 but neither were down to takles) but we all wore full shin protection and in truth made no differance to our play.

the arsenal of old would've fell apart after the incident, it shows how much they've matured to be resilient like that. fabregas gathering them in a post-match huddle was fantastic....i'd love to see them win the league now.

 

I don't agree. The commentators got all excited about Arsenal laying down a marker, but it was against ten men and now they've lost a player who would have been useful in the run-in.

It was a red card BUT it wasnt intentional

 

So why a red card?

 

because he missed the ball completely and caught the player strongly

 

And thus a yellow if anything.

IIRC when it happened to Eduardo they were winning, Taylor got sent off and Brum got an injury time equaliser. Their captain at the time then has a massive strop. Massive difference tonight.

Gallas is a French twat though. That when he sat in the corner like a mug?

That was a different game, I think.

He sat in the middle of the pitch after the match ended. Wenger had to go get him I think.
