Absolutely spot on.


Because he's a fecking moron, not to mention a tit.

From watching the replay on youtube and the photo that is doing the rounds, iit looks like his leg is already broken before Shawcross touches him

I know what you mean but don't think it was, I think he had his ankle turned whilst trying to pass the ball and that's when the tackle came in hence the damage that was done. That was my take anyway.

Just from this thread, about 8/10 people think that it wasn't a red card offence.

You think it was a red card offence just because the outcome was a broken leg.

IMO the ref would come out of it fine if he was to look at the incident again and admitted that he over-reacted to the incident based upon the broken leg of Ramsey.

IMO he'd look far more stupid if he was to insist that it was a valid red card when watching it back on the video. It isn't. Only you and Arsene Wenger think it was.

I've seen the tackle about 20 times now and don't think it was that bad of a tackle, you see tackles like that in every game be it on the park or in front of 70 thousand, the only reason Shawcross got the red card was because of the injury Ramsey suffered. If he hadn't broke his leg it would have been a free kick and maybe a booking at worst imo Ballacks second yellow was a far worse challenge and deserved a straight red.

I've seen a few pictures now and in a couple it does look like Ramseys leg could be broke before contact with Shawcross

On a side note, does anyone know what treatment Wenger has had to improve his eyesight?

No, he continues to wear blinkers, and cheek pieces.

Vidic

How he hasn't got at least a yellow there i don't know. Need to see it again but i thought he was last man and as such should of been off.

Glad he's still on he's bloody hopeless.

Seen the replay. Thats a straight red. Fair to say the ref has bottled it

He's booking Collins for that after letting Vidic off

And now Collins booked

some things never change

Owen for England.

2nd brain fart in 10 mins by the Villa defence. Could be a high scoring final this one!

Neither defence look at the races to be honest. I'd like a Villa win if only for a different name on a trophy.

Ha how has Carrick not been booked there? Pretty similar to Downings that. Bias-refereetastic

What the f**k is going on here with Dowd, blatent bias being shown with regard to bookings!!

Gerrard goal.
Bindippers 1-0 Blackburn.

Pretty blatant elbow from Rafael. Can see the Villa players kicking off if this continues

Does it ever kick off in football? ? ?

It's just handbags at dawn.

OAPs have bigger arguments when in the line at the Post Office for their pension.

I'm not so sure. After watching a few more times on youtube, an looking at the position both players are in just after the tackle, its different to the positions they're in on the pic. I still think his ankle gave way before contact was made.

For a perfect example watch the Diogo vs Luis Fabiano video on youtube.

feel for shawcross the guy in bits yesterday and wenger comes out with that
