I'm not sure why people seem so outraged at the suggestion. He's basically stamped on the guy's shin/ankle, albeit unintentionally. He does win the ball to be fair, which I admit gives him a bit of leeway. But that doesn't usually matter with challenges like that. Red card or yellow card, it's not a very nice challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'dress up' as you put it, is being done by those who see it as more than the official declared it. Ball won but caught the player very low down afterwards. Yellow at most. No 'dress up' there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just see a VAR check where they slow it down to make it look as malicious as possible, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 This tackle was worse from a Leeds player and he could have badly injured Grealish and was just a yellow card Bamford leaving one on Carlos was probably as bad as McGinn tackle as well since was zero intention of winning the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds fans/journos on Twitter were praising Bamford for getting revenge on Carlos and Gray for making a dodgy enough tackle on Buendia but when McGinn fouled Gray it was McGinn fault for not looking out for a 16 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 It was a bad idea playing Leeds in a friendly anyway, I don’t like the idea of playing teams in your league in the off-season, especially not one where they have a reputation and there’s some weird bad blood for some dumb reason. It was always going to be played with a bit of fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always going to be played with a bit of fire. I remember years ago ahead of a international tournament where Sweden had qualified and Denmark had not. They still decided to play a "friendly" just before the tournament. Think it might have been the 94 WC. Denmark spent the whole game trying to injure the Swedish players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chine Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I’ve only just watched the tackle v the Leeds player , looked like his intention was to be strong and block the space not foul , it was clumsy but if it was the other way round the media would be praising the Leeds player for “getting stuck in ,being physical blah blah”. Fair play to Ginny with his desire he’s playing for his shirt in a fast approaching season , let’s not forget we were playing dirty Leeds after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't two foot someone and have their ankle hanging by a thread and have the ref screaming at the crippled player "1997! Someone for your club two footed someone. Play on!!!"
