Ban Shawcross for season for Rambo leg-break

The reason we get these tackles is that people think there’s only one way to stop arsenal and that by kicking them
we suffer from one of the longest injury list in europe every single year and the teams every year think that the way to beat arsenal is to kick them which is actually not true
this year we have lost to united and chelsea who won the game by playing better football than us not by kicking us
There’s only one way to correct this and that’s by the FA and the referees.

Stop the players from kicking us in 4-5 matches and the clubs will get the message if not then I am sorry to say that someone else will suffer from the same injury and this time the next challenge might end the players career

please Eldo71
if you can write a blog then please write a blog about how FA and the referees have to take charge
this will not stop until the referees stop it on the pitch and to make them do that we need to make some noise and blog like yours can help

Take an example from the Belgian FA who banned Alex Witsel for 15 games for a similar tackle. Shawcross is a real shitkicker and should not play again this season after that tackle!

@Oskar: I’m Belgian and I remember the Witsel tackle vividly. First of all: Witsel got a ban of eight games, not 15. Furthermore, you can’t compare the two incidents. Witsel consciously targeted Wasilevski. Maybe he didn’t want to break his leg, but he sure wanted to hurt the guy. He disputed his red card and wasn’t interested in his opponents injury. You can’t compare that to yesterday’s incident. Shawcross’ challenge was clumsy, maybe even wreckless, but not malicious and definitely not focused on disabling the opponent. Unfortunately, the consequences may be equally bad for Ramsey as for Wasilevski. That’s very sad.

wouldnt it be fair that the person who sidelines a player is given an ongoing ban that carries on until the player he wrecked returns to his clubs matchday squad?

as for the clubs and managers that support the dangerous play..

what would you think about a rule that the squad responsible for injuring a player in this manner (straight red card) should pay his wages until he recovers?

Something being overlooked, to some extent, from what I have read is the role of the manager. Managers like Pulis, Alladyce, Curbishley, Hughes have always seem to think it is a badge of honour to kick us in the air.

When will they and their ilk be honest enough to state categorically that they tell their players to go in even if it means sailing close to the wind. Shawcross, Taylor and Smith ( correct me if I am wrong ) were/are not regular internationals like Viera and Adams at Arsenal if anybody starts playing that card. Our players never ended anyones careers or even put them in doubt.

Do Man U put up with these challenges from these teams ? I don’t think you will find the same sort of treatment given to them as often. Still, we had at least one stonewall penalty not given yet Song was booked for nothing. Man U are looked after more than a lot of teams and so any injuries they get are literally unlucky rather than a systematic tactic of kicking them in the air.

Even Man U tried it against us for a while and lost but at least they had enough skill not to actually main our personnel like the lesser talented cloggers . . .

sorry, mini blog over !

It wouldn’t be fair, no. The intent and nature of a foul doesn’t necessarily correspond with the injury. Concerning your wage proposal, it would give an enormous benefit to rich teams with compared to teams that pay smaller wages.

Gunther.. I still disagree with you. In the Witsel case it just showed that the Belgian FA actually promotes football and not thuggery like the British FA do on a regular. The looked at it from a footballers perspective. As a footballer you get disgusted by tackles in both the Witsel and Shawcross category.
As a captain of a lower league team I would go completely Sol Campbell if someone did that to one of my teammates

Pulis is the real culprit here,the bastard condones this sort of behaviour.we are northereners we are hard men show those Arsenal pussies a bit of “commitment” and they will crumble no fucking wonder England is rated as B nation in football.

The Belgian FA consists of a bunch of retards and I don’t want to discuss them on this forum. Actually, English football is passionate, but competitive, offers high quality and more fairplay than any other league. However, the coaches play an important role in their teams style of play. Maybe we should focus on that.
Btw: if anyone wants to see a horrible intentional foul without consequences, take a look at this:

You’ll understand what I mean with intent.

With bloggers like you arsenal players deserve to have the legs snapped every week, you should be ashamed

i don’t think it matters whether there was intent. the tackle was reckless and dangerous. the force with which he tackled was completely unnecessary and even if he had won the ball ramseys leg could still have been broken.

Maybe he didn’t mean to break his leg but its clear that he wanted to hurt the player just looking at how aggressive he was in the tackle. i know this point contradicts my first but the first was a general comment about reckless tackles and the second was my opinion about this particular tackle.

Ban him for 15 games and fine stoke. is there such a crime as conspiracy to assault because if there is then pulis is guilty.

We have to take action here. Shawcross has a long history of this- witness his attack on Adebayor out of bounds and from behind, and his tackle that took out Jeffers’ ankle. The english media is not reporting his history off assault on other players. Please write to the editors’ of the Times, the Guardian, Sky Sports, and any other news organizations to demand that they print Shawcross’s history along with all of Stoke’s denfences of their boy.

Like I think rational people have previously stated, there is a difference between a reckless challenge and playing hard. I don’t mind people playing hard and challenging strong, but there is a distinct difference, I am sure Shawcross is a wonderful human being and really did have no malice, but I am not focusing on his intent. I am focusing on the situation and the challenge he chose to make in that situation. When you are coming in from the side for a tackle when someone is dribbling down a wing, I think it is a defenders job to go in hard. you have a good visual of the ball and man and can put in a calculated amount of force. On the other hand when you go in a head-on 50-50 situation for a ball, I think it is a different proposition. It only takes a certain amound of force to make a tackle, anything in excess of that is a choice. I am not saying Shawcross is the first to make a tackle like this, and I was one of the arsenal fans who thought Gallas should have been banned for the challenge he made because it was horrible. There needs to be an attempt to let people know they have to control their aggression. Just like any other sport, as extreme athletes you have to be aware at the strength and speed at which you play because all it requires is a mistimed tackles and you end in situations like this. The tackles need to be stomped out of the game.

An idiot like you should have your neck snapped right now you fool.I don’t care whether the tackle was intentional or not the punishment should fit the crime and the FA should get their heads out of their asses before gets killed on the field you stupid donkey.

GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU IMBECILE.

YOUR’RE A FUCKIN’ RETARD.

BAN THIS FUCKIN’ PRICK

But we don’t!

DG
Pulis is not a Northener he is in actual fact Welsh born 10 miles away from Aaron’s birthplace.

michelle
You’re an arsehole

Berg10, comic genius. The bluntness made me laugh in the office.

Michelle, I may be generalising here, but you, and all other women, know nothing about football. I am sure you watched the game in the kitchen while peeling the spuds.

Shawcross is not a thug. He is a player of very limited ability who epitomises all that is wrong with English football.

As a gooner, I would rather have seen Dawson called up from the Spuds. he is a committed player, but not in the way Shawcross is.

For your attention Michelle – my post below.

Hi Hannah,

If you hate football so much what the hell are you doing on here?

Judging by your language and spelling I’m guessing thast you are perhaps 5 or 6 years old too.

Go and feed some pretty ponies and maybe come back when you have some compassion.

that all i wanted to say nd wish you all the best with the teams you love
