exit2 Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 Very similar. Shawcross who was sent off was in tears afterwards. It was an unfortunate challenge. I don't think he meant it at all. Was never a sending off just watched about 5 times. As the commentators said I think the ref was influenced by the injury. Fair play to Stokes number 6 (?) he was the first to go to his side and comfort him. Not nice to see an injury like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nice to see an injury like that Agree with this 100% - the ref was certainly influenced by the injury as it was never a red card challenge normally. Saying that though, could the ref have afforded to have kept Shawcross on the pitch...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the challenge but if it was a fair tackle it will be interesting to see if Stoke appeal (and what the FA do with the appeal).

Red Alert Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 It probably wasn't the worst tackle in the game, but it doesn't always need to be a bad challenge to cause some real damage. Hopefully he will make a full recovery, it was only last week I said on a thread on here that I think he will be a top midfielder in England within a couple of years.

oxfordshire_saint Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 It's just a very unfortunate coincidence that it's happened to an Arsenal player again. Wenger's bleating and the Arsenal players berating Shawcross is highly hypocritical though, I was at a pre-season game at The Emirates the other year between Arsenal and Real Madrid where Abou Diaby absolutely nailed Wesley Sneijder and put him out for quite a few months. Lest we forget the days under Wenger a few years ago when Arsenal had quite possibly one of the worst disciplinary records of any Prem side.

Arizona Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 Is Wenger *****ing about that tackle? Wouldn't put it past him to be fair. I remember him saying Martin Taylor should never be allowed to play football again. That tackle was worse than Shawcrosses today, but there was no malice in it. Eduardo was just a bit to quick and Taylor caught his standing leg. Seen the replay a few times and today's tackle wasn't a red card offence IMO. Shawcross had the ball, he just took a heavy touch and Ramsey took it off his feet a nano second before he could get it back under control.

Tractor_Saint Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 Can't find the pic from an earlier site but there was a picture showing that Ramsay's leg went before the tackle took place. Very unfair for Shawcross as it wasn't his fault and there was no malice. Good luck to Ramsay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wenger seems to forget it was not that long ago that he had the likes of Keown, Adams, Petit, Viera etc in his team who could dish it out. Shawcross got his first ever red card and have visably upset after the tackle which i think was not a bad challenge just clumsly IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted 27 February, 2010 Author Share Posted 27 February, 2010 I like Wenger, but sometimes I wish he'd show a bit more common sense. There was no way in a million years Shawcross meant that. It wasn't even that bad a tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 To give Wenger a bit of support, I think his main gripe is that teams think if they get rough with Arsenal then they have more chance of beating them. So his point is that , in general, Arsenal get kicked a lot more that anyone else, so the chances are they will get more injuries. He does have a point TBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 Found it.. That was a bit after the tackle, he did catch him, it was high but it was clumsy. TBH, like Hatch said, Wenger has a point about teams roughing it up against the arse but they are not innocence either ffs. Wenger is and continues to be a helmet, his words for me insight hatred and i would love to see what happens when one of his players seriously injures a player, will he come out and give it the 'he will not play for arsenal again?' No of course he won't he will forget it even happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint in Paradise Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 If an Arsenal player was accused of a bad tackle I bet Wenger would say he didn't see it. The team play good football but I can't stand Wenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffton Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 Just watched it several times on tv. It was just a 50-50 ball that you see time and time again week in week out.

Either way it was an accident in my book I think the still comes just after impact with Ramseys leg firmley planted, don't see any intent from Shawcross, his studs are not up and this is just an unfortunate incident, pleased Ramsay has had a successful operation and wish him all the best. For an intelligent man Wenger needs to stop being so reactionary, let himself down and fuelled the situation unecessarily, protect your players of course but it was clear for all to see Shawcross was in bits afterwards and for him to infer intent is wholly wrong.

Dog Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 Never was that a red card, 50/50 ball IMO & if anything Ramsay was going in alot harder than Shawcross but came off worse.

SuperMikey Posted 28 February, 2010 Share Posted 28 February, 2010 What do Aaron Ramsey's leg and Wayne Bridge's relationship with Vanessa Perroncel have in common? ....they've both been destroyed by a defender's tackle. In bad taste, I know, but made me chuckle. Glad to see that Ramsey's operation went well, and let's hope that he makes a full recovery and is back playing football soon!

I think it was for the best he was sent off, not because it was a bad challenge (i hope they appeal and get it overturned) but you could see the lad was clearly very upset. Pulis even said he went straight home with his mum, he was in no state to keep his mind on the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
