Mike Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I presume that I can link to this gif but not embed it, if im wrong please remove the link http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8601/mcman2.gif Just spent a few minutes playing with a gif of the tackle and removing Haidara from it. You can see McManaman come in to play/clear the ball normally but then his movement changes into a locked straight leg. This un-natural movement starts before he plays the ball and certainly looks like he goes in to do Haidara. What did you use to do that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 At the end of the day, regardless of what the officials did or didn't see at the time, TV replays and photographs afterwards have proven that the challenge was reckless, OTT, a potential leg breaker, etc and it should have been punished once that became clear, even after the event. Its not about re-refereeing the game or undermining the officials, as they put it, and no it wont give us 3 points or change the result - it should have been about sending out a message that those kind of challenges aren't acceptable, and potentially protecting other players from that kind of challenge.

Zach Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Absolutely fuming. Wigans handling of this has been shocking and Dave Whelans comments are an insult to Haidara. On the FA, I don't even know where to begin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Anyhow, BBC Total Sport tonight reckon he's only a bit bruised and will be back for Man city. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20130319/newcastle-united-statement_2281670_3115111 Massadio was scanned yesterday and will continue to be assessed for the remainder of the week. He will undergo a further scan next week in order to determine the extent of the damage caused. Contrary to comments in the media, there is currently no timescale for his recovery.

themanupstairs Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Didn't see 'full extent' of tackle, no action taken at the time. No retrospective action. Did see the halftime scuffle, action taken at the time. Retrospective action also taken. Couldn't f***ing make it up. Some c***'s getting a backhander here. Is the correct answer.

S.S.R. Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Aside from the horrific challenge; watch it again and see how he immediately races to gain possession of the ball after connecting with someone's knee. You'd think someone who wasn't a complete sociopath might stop in their tracks after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well this is a f***ing disgrace from all involved at the FA. Words can't describe how everyone involved at NUFC must be feeling right now. Disgusting behaviour, they're pretty much condoning what McManaman did and that sets a dangerous precedent. Seriously it's things like this you think f*** football. f*** Wigan and f*** their insignificant club. Would love to see them get relegated and go out of business.

Interpolic Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Feel a bit persecuted by the FA this evening tbh. They must hate us, there's no other explanation for it. Whoever said earlier that it could be something to do with the Michael Owen thing might be on to something. Anyway, feels fucking great to know we'll be sending our players on to the pitch for the rest of the season with hardly any protection whatsoever, with opposition players given carte blanche to do whatever they like. If that challenge wasn't deserving of retrospective action then what the hell is? Hope we're seeking legal advice because this feels like the opposite of justice. Horror challenge, followed by player showing no remorse, player getting applauded off, opposition manager/owner trivialising the challenge, silence from player, then the FA taking no action. Something needs to change because this isn't working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It doesn't matter if Wigan survive or not, they are that flukey that I think even when they eventually do go down they will come straight back up in anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gonna cost a shit load man. A bucket worth of small plates in Newcastle is gonna set you back a few hundred quid. Unless Wallsend has a bargain Tapas basement that I'm not aware of.

Fuck that, they deserve to go down now more than ever. Hope we draw them (at home) in one of the cups and we sign a bunch of cloggers just for that game to beat the living shite out of them. Yes I'm petty about this, fucking livid with this whole situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Reading the FA's statement was like reading one of the more outlandish passages from Catch-22. I mean, there's just no logic to their stance other than that of an insane mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Dave Whelan, Monday: "I am not going to criticise Norman Deeley - these things happen in football. He came over the ball but he didn't do it with the aim of breaking my leg." Dave Whelan, Lancashire Evening Telegraph 2010: "Norman Deeley came right over the ball. Today he would have been sent off and banned for a long time. He came six inches over the ball, he came for me not the ball." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just watching SSN Bunn's red upheld and will serve 3 match ban for handling outside the box, Zaha gets a 1 match ban for making a gesture to Leeds fans. Whereas McManaman gets fuck all.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
