"EEEEK!... I watched the Arsenal -v- Stoke City game and saw the tackle that broke Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey's ankle but you couldn't see clearly what happened to the poor lad. I just looked on BBC Sports website and they have a still photo of the player and his leg. OUCH! Man, that had to hurt! His foot is at an acute angle to his leg, like 90 degrees! Poor kid. I can't say I like Arsenal at all but I am a fan of football and to see that happen is just gut-wrenching. Wishing Aaron Ramsey a speedy recovery. ~ A Man Utd fan." oooooooooooooh it was very nasty.......career ending??? i dunno , iv seen plenty of injuries, it wasnt pleasant at all poor bugger | |||

"Fair play to the Sky team for not replaying the incident. You couldn't see from the normal coverage how bad it was but the looks on the other player's faces said it all. They were sickened." bet it crunched as well ewwwwww | |||

I remember Dennis Irwin putting in a tackle against a Coventry player some years back, as it were, Dennis Irwin didn't touch the guy (as far as I recall) but the guy went over and broke his shin, pictures after showed bone poking through, I remember peter schmeichel walking over then start to heave whilst waving his arm frantically for the ref's attention, I can't right now think of that poor guys name, but that ended his career. | |||

"My apologies, just googled Busst and youtube have the incident ... made me feel sick to watch it. Yuk!" lol, I just replied to you, had to delete the post. It's one that sticks in my mind, I remember also Utd holding a game against Coventry with proceeds going towards David Busst. | |||
"Nasty injury, but just a badly time tackle. The one on Robbie Savage last week was far worse because the Swansea player made no attempt to go for the ball. Worse tackle ive ever see was in the 1982 World cup when Harold Schumacher of Germany took out Battison of France with a shoulder barge and didnt even get booked. " Unbelievable! Just watched it on youtube and I can't believe Schumacher wasn't even cautioned for it. It should have been a penalty and Schumacher sent off. What a disgrace. | |||

Gascoine played in that testimonial alongside Les Ferdinand, and, to be fair to Coventry, they paid Busst's wages for the remainder of the season even though it was clear he was never going to kick a ball again. | |||
"im an arsenal fan through and through am gutted for him hope he comes back stronger than ever ........" I think that is what all arsenal fans were thinking...Eduardo at birmingham city two years ago all over again! and you could see it on all the arsenal's players faces.... I think they have grown up a lot tonight!! In a way I think it was better that campbell was out there rather than gallas..... I think he was immense and helped them thru it tonight....... So proud of the boys... i have seen it again and it was awful!!!! the way the team responded was fantastic........ | |||

"good luck to ramsay in his recovery. i was at the match and couldnt quite see how bad it was apart from the reaction on all of the players faces. to be fair it wasnt a malicious challenge from ryan shawcross by any means, he was a tad late and he is not a nasty player by all means, thats his first red card in football. anyway good luck ramsey" Franny Jeffers and Adebayor will both disagree with your not a nasty player comments
Get well soon Aaron | |||

I hope he has a speedy recovery too | |||

"I remember watching an American football game on telly years ago and one guy broke his leg mid calf... it was flopping about as he span through the air... they replayed it loads of times and in slow motion." Almost certainly Joe Theisman of the Washington Redskins ( i think ). I saw that in real time and numerous replays. If i recall correctly his leg was bent in 3 different directions at once. Truly sickening. | |||
"They showed the incident in slow motion and froze the footage at the moment to two players legs connected. Shawcross had his left boot around the ball, studs down and laces towards him, and Ramsey's foot was firmly planted in the ground next to the ball. His studs did not allow his leg to slip out from underneath him but kept his foot planted in the ground while his shin/ankle had no choice but to go in the direction that Shawcross' boot was pushing it. I don't think Shawcross was late going into the tackle, it was a 50/50 ball and he had every reason to go for the ball. Ramsey was also committed to winning the ball so something had to give, and unfortunately for Ramsey, it was his ankle that gave out. 9/10 times he would have been flipped out and spun in the air with nothing more than his pride bruised. Not so this time." Hear hear I am not a footie fan at all but I just so happened to catch this incident on Match of the Day. Both players were totally commited to the tackle in a 50/50 ball situation. I'm asking a question now, not knowing to policy on red cards but does a tackle that causes a serious injury always get dealt with by means of a red card??? As a sports fan in general it is always bad when someone gets injured. Good luck to the lad I hope he makes a speedy and full recovery. Now to set the cat amongst the pidgeons. As a rugby fan I have seen far worse injuries but do they get half the Media attention a footballer does. I think not. Take Scotland the other week for example, 3 players seriously injured............ Enough said I'll leave it at that. | |||
"I'm asking a question now, not knowing to policy on red cards but does a tackle that causes a serious injury always get dealt with by means of a red card???" Not neccessarily. It is all down to how thew ref interprets the tackle. Whether it was a mistimed tackle (as he judged it to be in the case of Ramsey/Shawcross) or whether it was a malicious attempt by one player to main another. The ref consults with his line refs if he is unsure and takes their advice into consideration before issuing any cards, red or yellow. In this incident, the ref was ten feet away and called it how he saw it: A late tackle by Shawcross that resulted in serious injury to Ramsey. ~ " Now to set the cat amongst the pidgeons. As a rugby fan I have seen far worse injuries but do they get half the Media attention a footballer does. I think not. Take Scotland the other week for example, 3 players seriously injured............ Enough said I'll leave it at that." The real big bucks is in football and football is our No.1 sport so it's not surprising that it gets the lion's share of media attention. I've seen horrific injuries to Rubgy players and I'm amazed that some of them are still able to walk off the pitch. | |||

I think if the ref was to look at it now there was no malice in the tackle as Shawcross never went out to hurt Ramsey. Its just unfortunate that Ramsey came out the worse of it. It was maybe a good thing that Shawcross was sent off as he he was too upset and his mind would not had been on the game. Ramsey will come back with the right rehabilitation to be a great player. Time is on his side. | |||

"Wasnt a terrible tackle. I wouldnt of though he would of even got sent off for it if the ref didnt see Ramseys leg first. Those kind of tough 50/50's happen every week in the EPL, and it just seems to be unfortunate for Ar****l. Wenger over reacted. Again. If it was upto him, no one would be allowed to tackle his kids. He is not able to cast his mind back to a few weeks ago when that prat Gallas put in that horrible tackle on Boltons Davis. That tackle was 10 times worse than Shawcross's. I honestly dont think it was a bad tackle. They both went in at the same speed and it came with an unfortunate injury. I feel sorry for them both as they are both cracking young players. Feel for Ramsey for obvious reasons and Shawcross because he obviously didnt mean it." as a gooner,i would like to raise 2 points. 1; yes gallas tackle was awful.BUT, he got much mre critism than shawcross.why ? because shawcross (is english ? ) is a nice guy,so it had to be accidental yeah / and gallas / well , we dont like him ! 2; shawcross who it is widely reported had never been sent of before, had broke another players ankle/leg before.franny jeffers.AND, put diaby out for 3 weeks last season with a horrendous tackle. now,did he mean to injure ramsey/ i dont know.onle he knows.but he has previous.and c'mon,how many players that ypong,have broken 2 players leg ? | |||

In reply: 1: Dont be silly... We all know its because Gallas is French. Infact, isnt 'gallas' French for 'c*nt'? Seriously tho, I think Gallas got more stick because he didnt get sent off for it so it so it was a kind of double negative. Being one of them, I hope you can cast your mind back to that terrible tackle by Gallas leading to the goal... Not even a free kick. I dont know if Shawcross is a nice guy or not, never met the bloke. But I can say there are not many footballers out there who want to break another professionals leg so for you to question this, in my opinion, is madness. Wenger does not help the situation tho, that was my main point. He blames everyone else for bad tackles but forgets the ones his players do... I mean look at some of your G**ner 'ledgeds'.... Patrick Vieira, Martin Keown... They were never affraid of putting a bad tackle in were they? 2: I am not taking the blame for reporting about Shawcrosses history as I am fully aware. Just my opinions. | |||

" SAF has never managed Aaron Ramsey. SAF actually knows Shawcross, whats why he apparently gave him a quick call. I agree, Shawcross is getting more sympothy and public affection than Ramsey, but I would simply imagine that is because of his England call up, not because the foul was committed on an A***nal player. 90% of football journalists are G**nrs and Chelski fans anyway! Why is A***nal the only team that thinks the world has a big conspiracy against them?!" SAF might not know Aaron ramsay... but knew enough about him to try to sign him 2 years ago when he was a cardiff player, Arsene is right up to a point... say that tackle had been Wayne Rooney.. would shawcross still get the amount of sympathy he is getting now... no Seems to me that everyone is sticking up for shawcross and seems to have forgotten about the poor lad in hospital with his leg in bits!!! Why do we as arsenal fans go on about the level of tackling we face... because its the 3rd time in just over 4 seasons we have been thru this... dan smith on abou diaby, martin taylor on Eduardo and now this..... the perception has gone out that you need to "rough up" arsenal.... do we get the protection we deserve... i think the answer is no... | |||
