He would have been aware of where his foot connected with even if it wasn't intentional and if you think you've stamped on someone's skull you'd check on them. Cnutish behaviour either way.
Sky Sports spent most of half time and post match condemning Mings and empathising with Zlatan's reaction.As expected, very little is being made of it. It's all about Zlatan's elbow. Just imagine if it was the other way around. The media would be after blood and everyone would be talking about giving record breaking bans (and rightly so). Same if it was someone like Costa by the way. But because it's some cnut from Bournemouth no one seems to give a feck.

I'm reading reactions after the game, I don't get Sky sports so I can't say anything about that. Post game reactions I'm seeing on some sports websites: "Ibrahimovic the pantomime villain again as United fall short", "Zlatan Ibrahimovic claims Tyrone Mings ‘jumped into my elbow’", "Zlatan Ibrahimovic says Tyrone Mings "jumped into my elbow" in clash during Manchester United draw", etc. At most we get a very matter-of-fact "Mings could face retroactive punishment".Sky Sports spent most of half time and post match condemning Mings and empathising with Zlatan's reaction.
Zlatan would win, no doubt about it.Mings and Zlatan's interviews have been hilarious. Like EastEnd villains both look shifty and avoid looking into the camera, as they try to convince the cops that nothing happened.
Kudos to both of them -both hard as nails
wonder who would win a cage fight? I think Mings would cane our Zlatan
interesting. You can see why some people are so fed up with all this FAKE NEWS!I'm reading reactions after the game, I don't get Sky sports so I can't say anything about that.

I'm not sure: Mings looks hard as nails. Scares me anyway.Zlatan would win, no doubt about it.
I don't know Mings background but Ibra has a black belt in taekwondo so he is likely much better at fighting than some guy who apparently looks hard.I'm not sure: Mings looks hard as nails. Scares me anyway.
never knew that. wow. explains a lot.I don't know Mings background but Ibra has a black belt in taekwondo so he is likely much better at fighting than some guy who apparently looks hard.
Taekwondo guys generally aren't great with their fists. I'd love to see Ibra actually sparring, kickboxing because he strikes me as the type of guy who'd be really, really good just because he's so professional.I don't know Mings background but Ibra has a black belt in taekwondo so he is likely much better at fighting than some guy who apparently looks hard.
I'm not kidding when I say my little sister has a black belt in Taekwondo. You get it after about 3 years of lessons. It's not as impressive as it sounds.I don't know Mings background but Ibra has a black belt in taekwondo so he is likely much better at fighting than some guy who apparently looks hard.
What a Lovely world you live in...if someone stamps on my bonce they get more than an elbowThe stamp was horrible.
But the sugar coating on Ibra's elbow is shameful.
Both knew exactly what they were doing
And Rooney claiming he knew all about it is obviously false. He was getting up from the ground with his back to the entire event. He was clueless to the stamp.
What are you even talking about? Did you somehow conclude that I approve of the stamp retaliation? Or are you just blind to the few seconds before that when a United player deliberately threw his elbow into his opponents face? You're weird.What a Lovely world you live in...if someone stamps on my bonce they get more than an elbow
Team captain standing up for team mate and taking his word as gospel. There's no captain in football that wouldn't do the same.And Rooney claiming he knew all about it is obviously false. He was getting up from the ground with his back to the entire event. He was clueless to the stamp.

It looked like he'd gone down pretending he was more hurt than he was, perhaps to try and get a free kick. Then he stopped pretending he was hurt when he got his head stamped on, and instead looked up to see who he needed to seek revenge on.Only thing I'm confused about is how Ibra got up as if not much had happened

This post makes it sound like you've your timeline messed up - the stamp came first (if I've misread your post somehow then apologies).What are you even talking about? Did you somehow conclude that I approve of the stamp retaliation? Or are you just blind to the few seconds before that when a United player deliberately threw his elbow into his opponents face? You're weird.
Ibra's got a black belt in something.I'm not sure: Mings looks hard as nails. Scares me anyway.
yeah, someone pointed that out above. Kudos to Ibra!! Although Mings is such a sneaky cnut, he'd hide cut glass in between his fingers and a golf ball inside his fist.Ibra's got a black belt in something.
He'd make Mings wish he hadn't been born if they fought imo.
He elbowed a bloke in the head who was looking in another direction. Mings deserved it but it's hardly the stuff they write folk songs about.At least Ibra was man enough to extract his revenge in a neutral and fair situation.
Yeah, over reached.He elbowed a bloke in the head who was looking in another direction. Mings deserved it but it's hardly the stuff they write folk songs about.
Zlatan has perfectly disguised his true intentions when he jumped for that cross. There's no way he should be punished with retrospective red, when he simultaneously has ticked so many mitigating boxes. He was at the end of the cross; went for it in the air as if he was genuinely fighting for a scoring chance; the ball did hit the top of his head; he hasn't even glanced at Mings instead appearing to be focused solely on the ball; those types of elbows happen all the time. The key to correct interpretation of his actions lies in context, however when you forget about what happened before the second(or third) act you do get quite a typical yellow card offence and no more. It looks like we've got a hitman on our booksIt should be a lifetime ban IMO. Of course those don't happen in football, but it is by far the worst 'challenge' I have ever seen in football. Could have easily been fatal.
Ibra should get a 3 match ban. While I fully understand and sympathize with him, retaliation isn't allowed.
You're just disagreeing for attention. Look at Mings face and where he's looking before and during the stamp. Quite clearly intentionalIt's clearly not intentional. You try making such a big jump without any run up. Look where Mings' starting position is. Not sure Zlatan's elbow is intentional either.
