Hatem Ben Arfa

Watching the Hughton interview on the BBC. Thinks it was a challenge that didn't need to be made.

 

Just a lack of respect for fellow professionals. They're just some people that get a kick out of injuring other players. Just cruel. At the end of the day this is the means by which they all provide for their families, but yet you go out and jeopardize someone's career? Why?

I'm surprised that gutless b****** didn't agree he was glad De Jong didn't injure himself as well.

Quote from Blefescu via Face-ache.

 

Martin Atkinson told Hatem Ben Arfa to get up today after De Jong's horror tackle which broke his leg. For that and the two blatant Newcastle pens that he missed he should never ref again.

 

 

anybody heard owt about this.

 

Wouldn't suprise me at all tbh. I'm sure even the refs carry that same biased attitude towards foreigners, believing they always dive and are always feigning injury. Ridiculously unproffesional. Even if he felt that way, why openly say that to a player who might well be hurt badly. Crazy.

Sad to think we'll probably never see what

 

Carroll

Jonas - Hatem - Wayne

Tiote - Barton

 

would have been like.

 

We were never going to anyway, for obvious reasons.

 

Don't be ridiculous, it would have happened at some point, Nolan simply doesn't have the fitness to play every single match and Hughton isn't the idiot some people seem to think.

Just got in and found out about this. Agree with those who've said De Jong should be banned from the game. It's not like he's unknown for that sort of on the field conduct. Absolutely gutted for Hatem - poor lad. :(

Totally gutted about this, obviously. 

 

However, is it all possible that

 

a) De Jong, even if he is a hacking get, didn't mean to break Ben Arfa's leg, and

 

b) Atkinson, at full speed, and from the angle he had at the time can be forgiven for thinking the tackle wasn't that bad?  Is it even more possible that the difference between this tackle and many others that eg Smith and Barton have dished out over the last few years was just bad luck, in particular relating to the position of Ben Arfa's standing leg?

 

No?  Fair enough.  Sack Atkinson and lynch De Jong etc...

He probably didn't mean to break his leg, but there isn't a doubt in my mind that he went in to hit him early on to keep him quiet.

During a 3 March 2010 friendly, de Jong broke the leg of American international Stuart Holden  in a reckless challenge, for which de Jong received a yellow card. De Jong showed no remorse, stating that "Such offenses are part of football. I went for the ball and got the opponent at the end. I had no evil intent."[5]

 

Would love to see his legs snapped in half.
