English League Football [26th Feb - 2nd Mar 2010] **spoilers**

Meh it said break in that article, only one I've seen really! That's the Stoke paper too. I don't know for sure anyway, whatever happened, the Wednesday players called it a career-ender, so rest assured it was bad.
 
You're turning it into a witchunt though, whilst spouting incorrect information.

These things happen in football every now and then. If he was such a bad player going in for these rash challenges all the time, I'd expect he'd have been sent off before now, dont you?

Ramsey went into the challenge just as hard as Shawcross did, he was just very unlucky not to come out of it.

It's generally hard to see that in this thread, where ridiculous has gone to a new level.

I don't think anyone doesn't wish Ramsey well and it's a really unfortunate injury to get, at any stage in a career. Hopefully he'll be back to full health and as someone who saw Djibril Cisse break his leg twice, I hope that is the case.

Given that I saw those leg breaks, I can also see how EASY it is for you to break your leg playing football. If anyone has the stomach to watch the first break against Blackburn (and I know not everyone will, understandably), you'll see that it doesn't have to be a reckless challenge for that to be the result.

Shawcross' challenge was late but it wasn't a leg-breaker by its very style. If you watch the tackle again and cut it before the reaction of all the players, you'll see those tackles every week - against Arsenal or anyone else.

Not really hard to see at all...i mean there was a :p smiley at the end of my post...anyhow i dont blame jakeke for the way he feels...im pretty gutted about Ramsey as he had a good future ahead of him...its all good and well taking the pee out of his posts but im sure that if Rooney, Drogba or Torres had a career ending leg break then others would be spitting blood...im extremely narked off that he got away with a challenge like that...and jakeke has a point that teams seem to actually enjoy roughing up Arsenal...sure its part and parcel of the game but there comes a point where it gets a bit silly. A few ys ago it was Eduardo who suffered a bad leg break...is he the same player as he was before??....not a chance, its definitely affected his playing form ie on Sat there was a chance for him on goal and he hesitated going in probably because he doesnt want another broken leg.

I just hope Ramsey makes a full recovery as hes the replacement for Fabregas when he leaves us but i have a feeling that this injury will impact his form when he comes back.

As i said its all well and good sitting here and blasting Arsenal for complaining about how teams are deliberately roughing them up...but the reality of it is that teams rough up Arsenal to put them off their game...thankfully we taught Stoke a valuable lesson in that deliberately trying to injure our players is not going to stop us from winning games.

It was.
 
As Spawn said, I'm just gutted for Ramsey and so feelings are a little magnified at the minute. After seeing what a mess has become of Eduardo's career I'm just devastated. Also, can't forget the image of when I saw the tackle, made me feel funny. Knew it was coming too, the game was getting heated and the ref was doing nothing, said to my gf's dad that Stoke were going to do an Arsenal player soon, then 10 minutes later that happened. I just feel that intervention could have stopped it, or at the very least that those type of challenges are avoidable. I have to believe that as I'll never concede that football needs leg breaks.
 
I wish Ramsey all the best. I don't think the tackle was a bad tackle though and wouldn't want to stop seeing people make full blooded tackles, if I want to watch that i'll watch La Liga where it's non-contact.
 
Nobody has said that football needs leg breaks.

It was high and late, these tackles happen in football. It's a contact sport.

Sometimes you come out of those tackles fine, sometimes you don't.
 
All this nonsense about Bridge not shaking Terry's hand, why were they lining up before the match to shake hands? Not seen that happen before in a football game?

Stop watching them on TV and get down to a few ;).

They usually show adverts while it happens

Would you let it drop if you were a manager who just had one of their most promising players suffer a horrible leg break like Ramsey did.

Best to ignore the people who moan about Wenger moaning, and just laugh at the irony in their ways.

what :confused:

Interesting to see that Chelsea were the stationary ones in this case while the City players walked past them (usually the reverse). Apparently a decision by the officials so that Bridge could walk past instead of having to stand there while Terry offered his hand, clever decision to avoid an incident.
