Surely not a case of bigger club being treated more lenient shock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Surely the natural reaction to your foot landing anywhere other than the ground would be to turn around to see what you stepped on, then signal in some way to apologise? He carried on acting as if nothing had happened. Deliberate in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings challenge was awful and he should be banned for a long long time. Zlatans was an elbow that you see in every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Was shocking by Mings and was horrible too see. Deserves everything he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 What I found funny was the media questions after "What did you say to Mings before the corner" If Zlatan actually answered that then people would cry their little eyes out because football isn't actually the gentleman sport people stupidly pretend it is. I bet he would have told him that elbow was coming. And it's no shock horror. It's just what goes on. Hardly matches up to Bellew vs Haye does it? Zlatan just delivered an equaliser. You'd expect that for standing on his head, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of room for debate and I still think Mings should be charged for dangerous play, but I'm amazed that so many people seem to be 100% convinced it was deliberate. Mings never looks down at Ibrahimovic. Unless he's telepathic, that's dangerous, but not deliberate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings challenge was awful and he should be banned for a long long time. Zlatans was an elbow that you see in every game. You don't see deliberate elbows in the face in every game thankfully. The clenched fist is usually a give away, according to Dermot Gallagher. It was as deliberate an elbow as you are likely to see. Mings' stamp is more difficult. It looks suspicious, but you just can't be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'd like to think Rooney would face some form of punishment for lying out of his arse about seeing the incident, saying he saw the whole thing, despite the fact replays show he's facing in the opposite direction...
