Proof?That picture's fake

It's been photoshopped. There are other far clearer pictures in this thread that show the damage to his leg and it's not close to being that bad.
edit: I would also question whether that picture is even the Nani incident. Checking through Sky's coverage, there's no picture of the incident from that angle (or any other moment from the game(I'm pretty sure there's no camera's over that side of the pitch)) and all the press's camera men are behind each goal. Maybe 1 of the players took his phone out and took the pic.

Its a bit obvious he wasn't trying it on, as for getting up, yes he got up to complain, I really hate this excuse, anyones whose ever REALLY felt pain will realise its not a constant singular thing, pain can kick in instantly, or quite frankly you can know somethings wrong and feel nothing for a while thats life.
You can have a 3mm paper cut in the wrong place that stings all day long, or a 2inch gash in your hand, can see the bone, the skin is peeled back, its bleeding like hell and you can't feel it, pain is odd.
He also most certainly didn't go down again "like he was shot", he went and had a go, Gerrard shoved him, lightly but he's basically on one leg, off balance, and he goes down really slowly, not at all like he was shot, and Gerrard can look straight at him and blood coming out of his leg, but ignored it and had a go.
As for Rafaels, I hate the guy, completely, but he's got one foot on the ground, his weight on the ground, his leg on the ground is bent significantly, and is flat to the ground, the other leg is flailing but its also significantly bent.
Caragher, straight leg, lots of speed, no weight on his back leg, ALL weight in his LOCKED forward leg which also, significantly catches Nani's front leg which has no where to go, theres no getting out of the fact thats VERY lucky to not be a leg break, ridiculous challenge, insanely dangerous.
Rafael's, leg bent, meaning his own leg isn't locked, theres a lot of flexibility, his weight is on the ground not locked into his leg coming down, he doesn't catch the front leg of Lucas and wouldn't have caught his front leg half way up his shin with ALL his weight.
Rafael's tackle certainly wasn't pretty but Caraghers is INCREDIBLY lucky not to break Nani's leg, Rafel's would have been incredibly lucky to even hurt Lucas, it would be a 1/10000 chance he broke his leg, they aren't close to comparable.
Caragher should have had a straight red for a reckless, dangerous, stupid foul that did make contact, Rafael should have got a red to stop players doing daft tackles, because when you mistime the one Rafael did, you end up doing the one Caragher did.

I would say theres a chance its fake, but the other pictures, if you've had skin ripped off, push the skin back and you can barely see it, pull the skin back and it looks disgusting, the tear's are both around where the blood is and its definately possible the picture is real.
Sums it up.

Only sums up cm1179 really.
I was watching the game again last night and I kid you not, when Nani was having his little fit, Rooney was standing there laughing at him
As others have said, Nani's a **** that has cried wolf far too many times in the past for people to believe him. And let us not forget that he didn't need a stretcher to get up and complain to the ref moments earlier.
You do realise what affect adrenaline has on the body don't you?
Do you remember Joe Cole getting smacked in the head and running around swatting imaginary flies?
No what happened was Maxi went in studs up and raked his leg seconds before he dived in at Lucas, you must have missed all that, a lot like your Wolves/Spurs game analysis, utter tripe.
That picture's fake
Hahahahahha I've heard it all now
That's definitely not number 18 Paul Scholes standing there having a look then?
Why would anyone photoshop it, again, hahahahahaha

Just so you can see it's the same incident and the same injury.
Photoshoplol.
How's that link proof that the 3rd pic down isn't photoshopped?
Look at the 2nd pic (the pic I mentioned in my post), you can see the damage there and it's not nearly as bad as the questionable 3rd pic. You don't need to be a photoshop expert to see that if the 3rd pic is of the Nani injury, it's been played with to make it look worse.
The 3rd pic looks as if he's had a huge chunk taken from his leg, the 2nd pic clearly shows the damage isn't much more than a stud size gash.
And no, it certainly isn't Scholes. If it is a Utd player, it's Carrick

Baz, give it up, it's admirable that you are backing up your team but don't be a fool about it
You do realise that picture is zoomed in of the injury don't you? hence the circle with the little arrow in the middle?
It is Scholes trust me.
Look at the 2nd pic down. The size of the cut is clear to see. The 3rd pic down has been (at best) zoomed in on the part where the injury is but not the rest of the leg, to make it look worse than was.
I think it's real, it looks like it's after its been wiped down, in the first pic you can see it's a big gash, second one just looks like it's been opened a little (this sentence isn't helping the wording at all), and looks 5x worse than it already was. Either way, ouch.

I've not defended my team at all
And it is Carrick
And as my previous post; if it has simply been zoomed in on the part of the injury, it has made the injury look worse than it is. As I've said, the size of the gash is clear to see from the 2nd picture. The 3rd picture is misleading at best.

Yes I think we can all agree that the last pic is a close up. Again you've not posted any evidence of a 'shop job. What techniques have been used? What tell tale signs were there?You're the one who has accused it of being a photoshop piece but you haven't given anything to support that apart from 'the one that's further away has less detail and I don't even know if it's from the same match'. It's not exactly a compelling argument. Did you just read it was a shop on a fan forum? Did they give any evidence?
I'd probably suggest that you do indeed tend to find more details in close ups and therein may be the reason and motivation for the close up.
As I say the incriminating piece is the first photo not the result and it's immaterial now, I don't believe he intended to put anyone out for an extended period but if you're going to be confident that it's a fake then you should probably have something to substantiate.

Seriously Baz, the picture has been zoomed in but you can obviously see it's the same injury, you can also obviously see that it's the same incident. So have you gone from it's a photoshop! and also a different incident, to, it's a zoomed in picture !!!
It is also Paul Scholes
Yeah, it's zoomed in, but the gash is still over an inch or so.
