Guest Phil K Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Look what these Australian idiots .. Think of the tackle in the comments. http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/premier-league/roberto-martinez-insists-callum-mcmanaman-isnt-a-malicious-player-after-horror-tackle-against-newcastle/story-e6frf4a3-1226600031045#.UUcd_WthiK0 Wow. Doesn't show Aussies as too clued up about football. Maybe they thought they were watching Aussie Rules watching McManaman ? Even there, that "tackle" would have caused a riot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 What really upsets me about this is that he's a promising young lad who was really putting in a great shift for us and this potentially has derailed all of the momentum and positivity he was having about his own performances and joining this club. These kind of challenges are disgusting. Clearly when a player is stretchered off b/c he's seriously injured the player involved in the challenge did something f***ing wrong. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Just like what happen to Ben Arfa man - if you're tackling someone so hard that you break their leg or knee, or cause ligament damage, you've clearly done something worth punishment. Played football my entire life, you don't f***ing tackle like that - its not part of the game. Martinez and Whelan should be ashamed of themselves as their comments only continue to allow this type of stuff to be OK in the game. (Clearly I like the word disgust today) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Worst parts for me are Wigan failing to apologise for any thing and even trying to antagonise us further as well as the fact we still don't know the extent of the damage done to Haidara yet.

Mind you Danny Tiatto was a cult figure, encapsulated the Socceroo's mongrel spirit. They should know better, and be able to recognise a hatchet-job tackle when it's served up with the evidence pointing towards. In their major codes it's common practice (and easily identifiable) for somebody to take an opponent out. There's usually an outcry (from Queenslanders, understandably too) when Jonathan Thurston is taken-out, by a NSW native in a league fixture, on the eve of a State of Origin fixture. Perhaps rugby league & Aussie rules supporters are more clued-in to the negative trends within their own codes than their a-league watching counterparts, and that's why Australian football (from top level, to grassroots level coaching) irrelevant in world football.

Pata Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 FA should always be able to give bans after seeing video evidence. The most ridiculous rule in the history of football is that if the referee saw it they can do nothing. Another ridiculous thing is you basically have to kill someone or make racist comments to ever get more than a 3 match ban. Football needs longer suspensions for these tackles and the player shouldn't get paid when they are suspended. It wouldn't always be bad to take something from other sports. In NHL Brendan Shanahan (the Banhammer) releases a 5 minute video talking through every reason why the player is banned and for how long using slow-motion replays.

littlelunchbox Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Well the ref said he didn't see it, so the boy is well in line for some retrospective punishment. He'll probably only get 3 game ban. Whilst Haidara will be out for months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The FA will await referee Mark Halsey's match report before deciding what action, if any, to take against Wigan striker Callum McManaman. Wigan's 2-1 victory over Newcastle was overshadowed by McManaman's high challenge on United left-back Massadio Haidara during the first half of Sunday's contest. On-the-ball incidents cannot usually be dealt with retrospectively but if Halsey, who appeared unsighted, admits he did not see the incident, the FA has the power to investigate further. The FA will view all available TV footage of the incident from the DW Stadium before any decision on whether to take any further action against McManaman. France U21 international Haidara suffered potential knee ligament damage and the incident resulted in Newcastle assistant manager John Carver and Wigan coach Graham Barrow being sent to the stands as they clashed over the issue. Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said after the match: "It is an awful challenge. The pictures speak for themselves. I thought it was a bad challenge and I was 60 yards from the incident. "The players knew because they were on top of it and there was a lot of bad feeling about that incident when it goes unpunished. He (Halsey) said 'If I've missed it I apologise' - that was at half-time." Wigan boss Roberto Martinez defended the character of his player but admitted that it had looked a bad challenge. He said: "I can't really comment too much because I haven't seen the action but I can guarantee that Callum McManaman is a young man full of talent and in his debut probably showed the enthusiasm that you expect, but he's not a malicious player." It's bollocks really, why do they have to wait for his report, if he says he seen it but decided to do nothing...he wants shot. And it's bollocks anyway because even if he did see it they should be able to over-rule it. Bollocks again, absolute bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
