. I never said that I wanted him to break his leg, you suggested I did. You said you hoped Wilko got banned and if he didn't you would hope he broke his leg. H Really? I don't think so.

It was an awful challenge, the reaction of the Man City player was bad too, from where I was standing it looked like he didn't get touched.

Can anyone tell me the approximate minute of the game the Whelan "tackle" occured. The last thing I want to do is watch the whole match(sorry, it wasn't a match, it was a stroll in the park for Man City) again. I just want to check out the "tackle" and then I can press the delete button on my sky box.

Horrendous challenge by Whelan, surprised he got there the same time as their player as he is painfully slow, deserves a ban IMO, could have snapped Garcia's leg.

It was a shocker. He almost did a bunny hop with both feet way off the ground. Nowhere near the ball. The contact wasn't as bad as Garcia made it out to be (he had a sneaky look round first before he writhed like he'd been snipered) but he did catch him with one foot on the ankle and the intent was there for all to see. What in gods name went through his head when he did it? Mental. If he gets a retrospective ban he'll have little to argue about.
PS Howard Webb is shit

He didn't make contact. The FA have set a precedent with Vincent Kompany. Whelan should not get a ban for it on those grounds Have another look.

It wasn't very clever was it?
If he gets a ban we can have no complaints.

Whelan is well short of the standard we need and should be replaced. I've got a lot of time for him after how he helped Ramsey but like a lot of our squad it's becomming apparent that a big heart isn't enough if it's all you've got.

Thanks Zephyr, I've just watched it several times on sky plus and it wasn't good but Howard Webb was about 6 foot away from it, looking directly at it but gave nothing. TV Commentators had a real go about it and think Whelan is a "lucky boy". If referee saw it at the time, I thought it couldn't be looked at retrospectively. Wouldn't have been happy with one of ours being on the receiving end though.

So why doesn't Pulis try Adam alongside N'Zonzi or even Geoff Cameron? Something has to change surely, because we're creating nowt currently.

Even from Block 1 this looked bad and we all said positively Red but when Webb never even Cautioned him we could not believe it.
I have read various accounts of people eating their own down belows but would not go that far myself should a ban be or not be given a ban but agree one will be on its way here.
I care more for maintaining a fair yet hard tackling philosophy in my team than diving and cheating to produce a result.
He will get a ban I will be sorry as he may be missed but it will end there.
What also was N'Zonzi doing on the edge of the MC area when the player went down holding his face.
Anyone see that

If he gets banned might be a lucky break. Gives Adam a. Chance in his best position.

It wasn't the kind of thing I expect to see (as with diving or telling the referee/linesman off like he's a child/surrounding them) from a Stoke City player, and the first actual challenge of this ilk I've seen one of our boys make since we've been in The Premiership, I think (Shawcross, Huth, Delap and Nzonzi's absolutely not) despite what the media and normies think, but he should get banned for the standard three games.
