Naniââ¬â¢s absence against Arsenal will add to an injury crisis that leaves United without eight first-team players as they try to avert a third consecutive defeat. Ferguson admits that the extent of the injury suffered by the Portuguese highlights the ferocity of Carragherââ¬â¢s challenge. ââ¬ÅObviously it was a disgraceful tackle, we know that, but you just move on.ââ¬Â Ferguson said. ââ¬ÅThe wound was too wide [to stitch]. Jamie Carragher is a limited player who has been rubbish throughout his career and has always been a thug on the pitch and off it. His sole aim has always been to destroy more talented players as he is a limited poor player.
Rafael is a disgrace but not because of the challenge he made. Only because he plays for Man Utd. Nah seriously though, his challenge was nowhere near as bad as Carra's.
It was a bad tackle fair enough, but he tried to apologise twice which is more than most players (Rooney) would do. Seriously, its the past now so get over it. Furthermore, you questioning his skill as a defender shows just how thick you are.
nani got a cut .........the exact same cut i got in under 14s back in 1994 my shin was popping out .........i didnt cry and spent 11 hours in a+e before i was stitched . im sure nani was stitched a lot sooner and he cried and he gets paid . for the carra jibe he had his leg broke if u cast your mind back and he didnt cry there fore in conclusion nani is a big girls blouse
Carragher has no history of going out to destroy fellow players. He's a model professional and been one of top defenders in the premiership for many years. It was a bad tackle, we all agree. Bad injuries happen in contact sports. Please explain elbowing fellow players in the head when their not looking, is that kind of behaviour ok with you and not the actions of a coward?? Get a grip, move on and stop your crying.
Nani misses 3 weeks of football over it yet you throw a hissy fit LN17. You sound like such a ****ing child
If that makes Nani a big girl's blouse then what the hell does it make Gerrard? Blubbering like a baby in court whilst apologising for punching someone? What, did he hurt his poor hand?
Carragher's tackle was a bad one, but to say that he is a thug and throughout his career he has tried to 'destroy' players just negates your argument and gives Liverpool fans the moral high ground. And, Rafael's challenge was just as bad, if not worse. He just didn't make contact.
Now that just makes no sense at all. How can a challenge that didn't even come close to making contact, and that Lucas had ample time to see coming and jump out of the way of, be worse than Carragher wedging his studs into Nani's knee and giving him no chance of avoiding it? As for Liverpool having the moral high ground, I think they lost that back in January when Dalglish claimed that Gerrard's two footed lunge on Carrick didn't deserve a red. I don't see SAF making the same claim about Rafael's challenge... EDIT: It's also interesting to compare the number of Liverpool fans who defended Gerrard's tackle on the basis that it didn't injure Carrick and was just "full blooded" and "committed". I don't see them making the same claims about Rafael's tackle on Lucas.
The only reason Rafael didn't injure Lucas was because Lucas jumped out of the way.Rafael clearly went in two footed,and the letter of the law as in the case with Gerrard even though Gerrard won the ball and Carrick also went in two footed, is that Rafael should have walked.The only reason he didn't was because Carragher didn't,If Carragher had to be have sent off,then Rafael would definitely have walked.In my own view both should have seen red. Jamie Carragher attempted to apologise to Nani,and wasn't let.Has Rooney attempted to apologise to James McCarthy for that elbow that Ferguson called ''a nothing challenge''. Ferguson should keep his comments to himself when it comes to opposition players,because If Jamie Carragher is a thug,then so is Rooney.And Roy Keane who did far worse to players is a raving lunatic.Ferguson called him a ''competitor'' even though he ended a players career,you know the lad that played for Forest and City.Keane said ''Take that you ****''.Ferguson will attack opposition players and defend his own for exactly the same thing.He never condemned Rooney for shooting off his mouth at the wrong time ie March 2009,He defended it,and was left with egg on his face,as the people that Rooney offended got revenge and made him and Ferguson pay...big time.It was Liverpool and Liverpool due to their overall anger inflicted Man Uniteds biggest defeat at the theatre of debt in 17 years.You should only make comments when you are able to back them up.Rooney without thinking(but then again Rooney never thinks as he isn't the sharpest crayon in the box.) Ferguson should have took him aside realising he is academically challenged in other words thick and said ''Wayne,there is a time and a place for making those comments,you can say what you like if we win,but don't show a red rag to a bull''. But it seems Ferguson is just a big a moron as Rooney and defended him.When will Ferguson ever learn.Expect Kenny Dalglish to laugh at Fergusons comments and just say to himself,I wish I had a 6 week old baby to taunt him with again like I did in 1988. I agree that Jamie Carragher is a disgrace.He went too easy on Nani,He should have put him out for 6 months,3 weeks is nowhere near long enough.
Seriously?! Did you even see Gerrard's challenge on Carrick? Or should I refresh your memory? please log in to view this image Yes, that would be Carrick, with his left leg clearly folded up on the floor under his body, and Gerrard with both feet studs up jumping into Carrick's right leg. And that's the tackle that Dalglish chose to defend. What a nob . Did the mighty Stevie G apologise to Carrick for that one? As for Rooney "shooting his mouth off" well done to him. Cos even tho' you won your cup final, you still choked and ended the season with no trophies. Again.
Offering an apology doesn't change the fact that it was a terrible challenge, but just out of curiosity, did Gerrard apologize after elbows on Brown or Welbeck? Or how about Mascherano for his swinging arm in the Leeds game? For the record, I do think Rafael should of seen red for that challenge, but in case you missed it the ref should of already blew the whistle before he'd made the challenge after Maxi had stuck his studs into his thigh. Comments like that are just pathetic, finishing a rant (a pretty poorly written rant I may add) about how Rooney isn't very bright with a comment like that just makes you look a hell of a lot less intelligent.
yes yes we all agree it was a terrible challange and yes he should off gone it was shocking.but when people like luisnani posts the rubbish he adds at the end off the article my sympathy is some what limited. ask yourselfs how many off your players have got away with a bad challange this season whether bad tackle or using an elbow? remember haarland and keane?
I usually don't bother to alert people to their poor use of grammar on internet forums. However, as we're on the topic of "sharp crayons in the box", are you completely unable to string together a coherent sentence? Your posts often read so poorly it becomes necessary to re-read most lines two or three times. I'm sure kids are taught how to use commas, full stops and paragraphs by the age of eight or nine.....
I also agree that Rooney's was a shocking tackle / attack and deserved a sending off, as did Rafael's. If you've been on this forum long enough, you should know that LuisNani does not represent the views of the majority of United fans. He attracts more bile from United fans than from the fans of any other club. Although it's interesting you should talk about attracting sympathy when KingPepe has just said Carragher should have injured Nani for six months. Thus ensuring that the next time a Liverpool player gets injured the level of sympathy will be precisely zero. To my knowledge, the Carragher tackle was the first time a player has committed a dangerous challenge that has injured another player this season and not been punished. I know that a tackle doesn't have to injure someone to be deserving of a red card, but when an actual injuury occurs surely it should reinforce the point that the tackler has acted in a dangerous manner? After all, if you look at the Shawcross / Ramsey tackle last season, the referee hadn't actually reached for his cards until he saw what had happened to Ramsey. As for Keane, he was punished with a ban and a fine for his tackle / assault on Haaland, both when he did it and when he admitted it was premeditated. But I admit that the second ban (when he admitted it was premeditated) was far too short given what he did.
