Blaise Matuidi's horrific tackle on Ogenyi Onazi didn't go unnoticed as Argentine legend Diego Maradona shared a photo of the stamp with a sad expression on his face. Get well soon Onazi! 4 Likes 1 Share

Certitude:That 2014 team was very tame- no fire inside them, no confidence. They just went to be part of the number. I doubt if there was any real expectation on that team. I can't recall the team having any set target. So wishy washy. That's why they could accept any thing. Their mentality was very poor. |

Certitude: Same problem I am having with the City players. As soon as it happens, surround the referee and scream murder. That will even give opponents fear to tackle harshly. That is what I liked from the Barcelona under Guardiola.

TheSuperNerd: yes boss, hope we learn from such instance like that. I believe our style of play would frustrate many teams, this is because of our tireless marking and runnings. this should make opponent who are not having a good day commit several fouls like that of Brahimi. we just need to take advantage of such. |

Certitude: I totally agree with you. Infact when that tackle on Onazi was committed I immediately shouted red card, shouting at the players to rush the ref na. The penalty incident happened in the first half and me till now never understand how e come be say nobody, not even Osaze said anything, in fact I think the ref saw the incident because he later warned Evra but since we didn't shout and scream there was no penalty. It was after weeks of studying the tape and the rules that I got to understand the refs angle |

TheGoodJoe: of course it is way worse than what Suarez did. Suarez bit a player, I mean no one gets injured from a bite except the person has rabbies or he severes one of your arteries, but he was given a ban because it was not a natural move(like when Ronaldo turned to a referee and touched his *****) but Matuidi's case is way different. It is a natural occurence and you could argue that some refs would send him off but a ban? |

Certitude: Yes, I remember that case of Evra holding Osaze. Osaze had no business remaining on his feet at that point. That would have probably been a penalty chance. In football you employ all available tricks to win your games. 2 Likes |

Mickael2: The Middlesbrough defender Emanuel Pogatetz today issued a public apology to Manchester United's Brazilian midfielder Rodrigo Possebon for the reckless, studs-up tackle during last night's Carling Cup tie that left the teenager in hospital. Pogatetz also accepted that he had deserved to be sent off.Possebon was kept in hospital overnight after the incident during United's 3-1 win at Old Trafford and needed stitches to a two-inch gash just below his right knee. But the 19-year-old will reflect that he actually had a lucky escape after x-rays showed there was no break.Sir Alex Ferguson, who said that he feared a long-term injury, accused Pogatetz of a "horrendous" and "terrible" challenge, while the former United and Middlesbrough defender Gary Pallister added further condemnation, accusing the guilty player of knowing he was going to hurt his opponent. Pogatetz, however, insisted it had not been pre-meditated. "Firstly, I have to say that I went for the tackle because I thought I could win the ball. I now accept, however, that I misjudged the challenge," said the Middlesbrough captain. "Immediately after the incident, I did not think it was a red-card offence because I did win the ball. But now I have had the chance to see the tackle on television, I know the referee was right to send me off."Pogatetz said he had sent a message to Possebon and would try to contact him in person. "I am going to speak to Rodrigo by telephone and I have apologised for hurting him. "I hope that he will make a quick recovery and that he will not be out for long." His contrition will not spare him from a club fine and a three-match ban, while the incident will do little to improve the reputation of a player who refers to himself as "Mad Dog" and, as a Spartak Moscow player in 2005, was banned for 24 weeks, reduced to eight on appeal, after breaking an opponent's leg in two places. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/sep/24/middlesbrough.manchesterunited Maybe you do not know players get bans for Horror tackles and what Matuidi did is a perfect picture of a horror tackle.

Mickael2: Matuidi had a premeditated plan to injure Onazi. He tried the first and failed. Then tried again and got Onazi injured. Please, stop playing the Devil's advocate. Matuidi was evil and what he did was nothing short of demonic. |

Icon4s:to be honest...that team would have won France had it been they knew how to use tricks... I was talking to someone recently that abilities and physical strength, skills, techniques don't just win games in the world cup...there are times this things fail then a team will have to use their brains... tricks come to play...like the Uruguayan team against Ghana in 2010 world cup...and the Italy team in 2006 world cup final... how I wish someone can communicate this to these crop of players....mikel messed up in the last mundial...I remember him chattin wit Oliver Giroud and Dzeko during the world cup match as if they came for a reunion..he never acted as someone that meant business |

TheGoodJoe: this is the last thing I will say about this. Check out that picture and from the news report check where he needed stitches. Then compare the location of the tackle with that of Matuidi and then check if they are the same according to the rule book. If after checking all these you still don't understand then have a nice sunny saturday |

CaptainStephen: nobody is denying that. It was a horrible tackle no doubt but what I am saying here is that the ref not giving Matuidi a straight red isn't exactly a case of corruption as some are potraying it. TheGoodJoe's opinion here is that Matuidi had initially tried to injure Onazi, that is also my believe as a nigerian, but call out a french guy and he would tell you that there was no malice intended and he just wanted to win, doing his work as the destroyer in midfield and he could give reasons to back up his claim too. So you see that there are two sides to this same story, and whichever side the ref chooses in that particular point in time is not wrong, it was just the way the ref viewed it. People seem to think that I am saying that the foul was fair or something, I would have sent him off if I am the ref no doubt, but the ref on the day had enough reasons not to send him off, thats the point |

Icon4s: as always, gross misunderstanding of the case at hand. Who in his right senses would say that that wasn't a bad tackle? What the point is right now is 'was it a sign of corruption that the ref did not send off Matuidi' and that is all I am talking about. I have said this over and again |
