Luis Nani’s leg has been the most debated subject in football this weekend. Why wasn’t it a red card? Is his injury that bad? Why did he get up and complain? Are the pictures photoshopped? Should Nani have been booked for diving?
Well, I’m sure someone has said the last one, but the fact is, a lot of people are missing the point. I have seen so many commnts saying how Nani was pathetic to cry while others would have got up and carried on playing. This is a comment on one website showing the image of Nani’s leg:
“I’ve fractured my leg before, I’ve dislocated my shoulder before, I’ve dislocated my elbow and broke my arm before……I’ve not cried in all of them”
I mean – come on. Who cares? This isn’t about crying or not crying, this is about the scandalous decision not to send Jamie Carragher off for a blatant assault on Nani. It was a disgrace of a tackle, so sickening, so dangerous that no matter which way you look at it, tears or no tears, a red should have been shown. The fact that Carragher recieved only a yellow for the tackle, while Edwin van der sar recieved the same punishment for simply expressing his understanable exasperation at the decision is a joke.
I cannot understand how people can attempt to excuse it, or even play down the injury which someclaim to be photoshopped. Again, it does not matter how deep the wound is, it is the height of the tackle which is the despairing part of it. There is no argument for Carragher to stay on the pitch.
Forget about photoshop, forget the excuses, look at the tackle, not the result of it.
Tell me what you think!
