Can't say I'm particularly happy at this.
Looks like a terrible tackle to me with no possible means of getting the ball from where he was never mind his intention. His foot clearly comes in mid stride goes into the side of his ankle, that will bring any player down. The fact that its only twice that he's done it to Bale makes me reluctant to say he's deliberately targeting him, much less so than i'm inclined to believe maybe he's just not got the talent to break up the play when somebody of Bale's calibre is on the ball.

i remember BAE going in badly on someone (couldn't remember who it was though) and i said at the time he was lucky not to be sent off.
adam has previous on bale and isn't really a pl player. not just because of his poor tackling ability (considering the position he plays) but because he isn't good enough.
bale is a very important player to spurs. this was a pre-season ''friendly'' in soaring heat, there is no excuse for doing this kind of thing at any time, let alone before the season has even started! we're already missing VDV and parker for the start of the season.
i find it hard to see how anyone could not see bale's point there. is adam completely thick? i can only assume he must be. injuring a player (any player) must be an awful feeling, especially when you put them out for 3 months is one thing. that's when he was at blackpool. then he goes in hard on bale for liverpool (when we thumped them 4-0) and is sent off within 30 mins. then he does this in a ''friendly''. thick **** who shouldn't be in the prem and it's difficult to not associate this with him having a bit of a problem with bale.

Boo ******* hoo. The soft **** played until half time, if he was that injured he should've come off immediately. He's just milking it to get sympathy now.
Be fair, 15 of the 30 minutes in between the tackle and him being forced off with a terrible injury were spent with him rolling around on the floor and the Spurs medical staff deciding whether they need a stretcher, before he returned to the pitch and sprinted down the wing.
He's probably more upset that he wasn't clever enough to get Adam sent off:

You've obviously not seen the youtube video of him karate kicking the **** out of some bottles (whilst shouting "pie") in the Spurs changing room.

slight difference. he wins the ball.
It was a poor tackle, but nothing more than a free kick, perhaps a yellow card with a card happy referee, but for the 'bestest player in the world eva' to label Adam a 'coward' is comewhat ridiculous, particularly as Bale is a self confessed diver.
Seriously what is the big deal with the Adam tackle? I saw the clip on youtube and for Bale to call him a coward is out of order. It's hardly a bad tackle, not worth warranting a red card. He's the coward for backing out of the Olympic squad. Look at how Sturridge came through his battle with meningitis to play for GB.
