Couldn't agree more. Horrible injury but not a horrible tackle. Take away the injury and it's a yellow card and nothing more. It's not like you get sent off because an injury results. Wenger's ridiculous comments once again (as was the case with Eduardo) took away almost all the sympathy I might have had.
So you don't feel sympathy for a 19 yr old who's had his leg broken? Okay then.
Try deny that 3 leg breaks in 4 years is a coincidence then. That teams don't go out to to rough Arsenal up and this is the price that is paid. Because that is all Wenger said. But it's hard taking off your rose-tinted glasses isn't it?
For the record Shawcross broke Jeffers' ankle from behind 2 years ago and got into a lot **** then as well. Last year he took out Adebayor with a cynical studs up challenge on his ankle outside the field of play and he was subsequently out for 3 weeks. Now he's had a fast and high reckless challenge which has ended in another broken leg. Bear in mind he's only 22 and still relatively new to the game.
Players careers have been ruined by injuries like that. Let's just hope Ramsey recovers.
And read up, reckless challenges that end up with terrible injuries ARE red cards. The FA do actually take injuries into account.
Edit: I just reread this "the case with Eduardo"? Please don't tell me you think he was going for the ball there? That was a frankly disgusting challenge that no human being can excuse. God knows what your reaction would've been if someone like Rooney had been at the end of it. Actually I'd love to know what you'd say in the heat of the moment when you've just seen someone close to you have their foot dangling from the rest of their leg by only its skin because some thug wanted to make a statement. Scrap that, in the future just keep quiet.
