Title: Disgusting
Post by: Highlander on May 08, 2011, 14:46:19 PM: Is one of the words I would use to describle Charlie Adams assault on Gareth Bale yesterday. I certainly wouldn't call it a tackle.

And the can protest all he wants, bit it was clearly deliberate:(

Post by: Highlander on May 08, 2011, 19:20:49 PM: I have ronzues and I agree there have been other bad tackles. The reasons I posted re Charlie Adams one are that I happen it think it was particularly nasty and definitely intentional which makes it worse and the fact that in a four minute interview with Holloway, the BBC let him rant on about Adams' character re the penalties without even mentioning the asault.

Watch them implode if they get relegated.

Post by: tonyb on May 09, 2011, 13:30:53 PM: If that tackle isn't a case for retrospective punishment, then the Premier League/FA are a blind as Scunner. You won't have seen a more intentional attempt to "nobble" an opponent all season. I reckon Holloway must have said to Adam before the game, " I want to see how quick Bale can limp." The lad could't even do that, after Admam's "tackle" H, Character, my arse. Just a disgusting foul, which will no doubt go unpunished.Rant over.

Post by: Scunner on May 09, 2011, 14:04:30 PM: Not blind, I saw it. I see one or more in most games. Hence my comment.

Post by: tonyb on May 09, 2011, 14:25:19 PM: Not in the same league ronzeous- as Nani can still kick a ball , I rest my case !!!
Title: Disgusting
Post by: tonyb on May 09, 2011, 14:31:03 PM: Not without it geting punished,you don't Scun.I think we need to put things in a little perspective here. Rooney gets a ban(& I'm no Man Utd Fan)for shooting his mouth off. I don't condone it in any way- sets a bad exemple, but got got punished retrospectively. Why not Adam.To intentially injure a fellow professional is as bad if not worse.

What case Tony ,you made a statement.:(
Title: Disgusting
Post by: Ovacikpeedoff on May 09, 2011, 15:13:24 PM: If charged by the FA what he would get is a 3 match ban. If this happened in December, Bale could have missed maybe 10 games. The punishment does not fit the crime. I have looked at that tackle at least 10 times today and each time I watch it I am convinced it was intentional. Shame because Adam had such a good season for Blackpool.

Why abuse !, Jamies was a bad tackle, granted, but Nani was reported to being out for months, think he missed 2 games, what about Rooney's elbow, I think that was worse,and that was without any attempt at the ball, there's been loads more, but I guess its ones own personal perspective on it,
Title: Disgusting
Post by: Highlander on May 09, 2011, 19:10:39 PM: A couple of examples of bad challenges have been cited, Rooney and Carragher.

But what upset me most about the Adam's incident (I refuse to call it a tackle) was the clear intent and the fact that unlike Rooney and Carragher's, it could have threatened the career of a great young footballer.

Post by: ronzeus on May 10, 2011, 15:05:49 PM: John,look at the video on epltalk.com or even youtube and you can clearly see Carragher had no intention of playing the ball.
Moe,Nani was out for a month.
Title: Disgusting
Post by: Highlander on May 10, 2011, 17:29:37 PM: ronzeus - I have looked at the Carragher tackle and it is a bad one.

But are you sure Nani was out for a month.

Post by: ronzeus on May 10, 2011, 18:04:02 PM: Not really John,that is the only article that i could find,perhaps a Man U fan could tell us,
Title: Disgusting
Post by: BM06 on May 10, 2011, 18:17:27 PM: John and Ron, Nani was out from the 6th to the 15th of March retuned against Marseille, played for 60mins CL, and no I do not support the Mancs.
Title: Disgusting
Post by: Highlander on May 10, 2011, 18:50:46 PM: He also played on the 19th against Bolton, but no matter.

Having looked at it, I think we can all agree that the tackle could well have put Nani out for longer than it actually did.
