I missed the Ballack incident but Nani was seriously injured so Foy was right to stop the game.
Of the 2 incidents I saw; there was nothing wrong with Evra so he played on, Nani was injured and he stopped the game. I can't see too much wrong there.

If i remember right i think you are correct here, did he not then restart the game by getting Chelsea to give the ball back to man u.
I'd love to see Drogba get this kind of sympathy.
Not that either player deserves it.
If It would have been Drogba who overreacted it would have gone something like
United have possession> united score> LOL AT DROGBA FOR DIVING.

I think you have missed me entirely.
You're right the ref was right to stop the game when Nani stayed down but given the such blatant and obvious manner of the foul on Evra surely there is an argument that that could have been a serious injury also especially as when stayed down
As I said earlier, Foy was looking straight at the incident and could see that it was just a body check. Other than a freak injury, the only injury you could really expect from a challenge like that would have been Evra being winded which imo isn't enough to stop a game.

I love my football, my cricket and my rugby.
In cricket you get hit on the body by a ball travelling at 90+ mph, you man up and do not let the bowler see how much it hurt.
In rugby, union and league you never hear them sqeal in the tackle, but football..........
you can hear them crying when you are in the top tier.
It sickens me to hear these overpaid whimps scream at minimal contact.

Regardless, this is football.
You can't justify the actions apparent in one sport by relating it to another.
Are you going to troll this thread any more
What?
If you have nowt constructive to say, please do not troll this thread.
What The **** does all this have to do with A) Football. B) The Weekend Football thread.
Go to speakers corner if you want to complain about footballers.
He called you a troll because rugby has nothing to do with football.
He has a point
No he don't, i was making an example of physical contact, which football still is.

I think his point has slight validity.
If footballers didnt fall down like they had been shot after every tackle it would make the refs job easier. They would know if someone stayed down it was becasue they are actually hurt and not trying to get an advantage.
However as this will never happen its a moot point.

It is not a moot point if refs don't stop the game every time somone falls over their bootlaces tho is it.
Why so rude when i am sure you know exactly what i am trying to say?
This thread, weather by intent or artifice, has turned to the physical side of the game, so for me to make comparisons between sports, and sportsmen or women in Evra's case, seems to me to be fair.
Maybe when you leave your teens, you will grow up a bit, you will learn how to discuss a topic, rather than insult people when you have nowt else to say.
