    A stamp is far more dangerous as it carries your full body weight behind it.

    Simple as...

    We will have to disagree

    Ibra also deserves an extra game for mocking the disciplinary process with his ridiculous explanation <laugh>

    It wasn't a stamp by definition he just trod on his head trying to get to the ball (deliberately or not).

    Same difference. It still had his body weight behind it.

    Exactly there was no real force in it. Probably less than deliberately swinging your elbow into someone's face around the eye/temple area as hard as you can.

    Bull!!

    A tread, a stamp, whatever you want to call it carries far more weight behind it. And can potentially crack a skull.

    Being totally unbiased in this matter I have to say I agree with you Zlatans is the bigger crime as it was deliberately intentional. Mings can say he was unable to get out of the way also being baulked by Rooney he could not control his footing.

    No a stamp is to bring ones foot down with force generally from a stationary position. I think the word you're searching for is trampled under foot.

    It will only have the full body weight if it is coming directly downwards. Much of Mings weight was going forwards so I think the effect on Ibrahimovic's head would probably have been less than the effect of the elbow on Mings. If he had been properly stamped on Ibrahimovic would have at the least required treatment, if not hospitalisation.

    No.

    A stamp or more accurately a tread perhaps is still far more dangerous. It's why it's dealt with so harshly in Rugby, they know the f
    damage it can cause.

    Having seen the vid a few times, I have no doubt left it was deliberate too.

    No an elbow to the face can cause no manner of death threatening injuries, Zlatans knock was minimal as he got up and pursued Mings immediately.

    Especially when you got studs on, they are not exactly pumps.

    So because he can lie and claim it was an accident that makes it less of a crime?

    Ok, gotcha.

    He only caught him a glancing blow, luckily.

    As I've tried to explain, it's extremely dangerous. If you do that intentionally in an rfu game, you'll be banned for months. They know from experience how potentially dangerous it is.

    This is about Mings intent as much as anything. If Zlatan was not badly injured that was just luck. He could easily have been.

    Seriously are we arguing since it didn't give Ibra brain damage then its not a stamp? That **** hurts regardless...enough to piss you off to want to give some back....there's a fine line between walking away or ending up in a coma. That was terrible from Ming's.

    Only because Mings luckily caught him a glancing blow...otherwise!

    Mings is a ****, as he looked to see where Zlatans head was and then stamped on him.

    The elbow in retaliation was never justifiable but was not as sinister as trying to stamp on someone's noggin in boots ffs. Get a grip.

    I sometimes wonder of some of these people have ever played any sport!?

    I've seen people get stamped, it's not pretty! Which is why it's treated so harshly.
