Disgusting

[tonyb]

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.

Not blind, I saw it. I see one or more in most games. Hence my comment.

Tony ,more intentional attempt to noble a player ,did you not see Jamie Carragher on Nanni ?.I await your abuse Moe.

Not in the same league ronzeous- as Nani can still kick a ball , I rest my case !!!

[tonyb]

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.

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,

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.

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.
