Exactly how I feel, he looked like one of the best players on the team before he got injured.That PSV twat
Shaw was playing so well and was always one of the first names on the team sheet till that happen. He could have been so good by now
You always have to take these things carefully, but even before he was back in the side there were rumours he was battling with some mental issues, possibly bouts of depression due to the severity of his leg break in the first place. Again, you really have to take such claims with sensitivity, but if true, the response of his current manager and the scrutiny delivered by fans is absurd.Hope all the armchair warriors on here & social media are proud. Virtually calling him a coward & a cheat for making out he is injured & not wanting to play. Absolutely disgraceful. Doubt if many will apologise, including the bully of a manager.
This is off topic, so I will not dwell on it. But if you have a point to make, just make it and move on. No need to be insulting. I mean if this was a face to face chat, would you call me a moron just because we don't happen to see eye to eye?Actually, it's calling someone a moron for imagining things.
It's not about two different opinions. It's about people being utter fecktards. Have you seen the amount of hobby ______ (insert whatever ranging from hobby psychologists, teachers, lip readers, doctors). There's a video of Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney asking what's wrong, none of them seem to have much of a reaction whatsoever, and apparently it's conclusive evidence that they think he's a fanny faking injury (which seems to be ligament damage)This is off topic, so I will not dwell on it.

Learn some manners. Just because it's online doesn't mean you should causally throw about insults.
Like I said, learn some manners and maybe a little bit about the nature of debate and the possibility that people often have diverse, conflicting views. Perhaps, when you grow up, you will get it. Right now, you sound very immature; too immature to contribute to a useful debate.It's not about two different opinions. It's about people being utter fecktards.

Not really: if you really think calling people you have never met absolute fecking morons and utter fecktards is a grown up, mature way to go about a debate, then you are clearly immature.
I love how you try to make a reference to my personal life, without having the slightest clue what i do for a living. Good for you, good for you.
Thing is you did kind of suggest Shaw was faking injury based on nothing but Wayne Rooney's face. Think about that for a second.Not really: if you really think calling people you have never met absolute fecking morons and utter fecktards is a grown up, mature way to go about a debate, then you are clearly immature.
I will leave it there now.
So basically. You are right to call me immature on the basis of something i've written, even though you've never met me.Not really: if you really think calling people you have never met absolute fecking morons and utter fecktards is a grown up, mature way to go about a debate, then you are clearly immature.

How so? I commented 'that's quite telling' on Rooney's and Carrick's reactions, meaning both looked quite dissapointed. It is quite a leap to 'he is faking injury'. Perhaps you guys are on a witch hunt and reading too much into comments like mine?I refuse to accept

As a footballer I'd imagine faking injury is the worst possible insult. I don't see the need for name calling but to complain about being called a moron seems a bit hypocritical in this context.
So what did you mean then when you said those dissapointed looks were "quite telling?"How so?

Running off ligament damage sounds a bit interesting.Not manning up and trying to run it off before making a decision or playing with a bit of pain is different to faking an injury.
That was way way later towards the end of his career at United, when he kept feeling that something was wrong even though none of the medical staff could find the slightest issue with him.Didn't Sir Alex once say Saha's injuries were more in his head than physical? Some people just react to things differently, some feel a twinge and can't play and others would need to be dragged off the pitch. Mouinrho wants more of the latter.
But I have already tried to explain my comment and you, seemingly, just ignored it. I will try again: My comment meant the video was telling in that they both looked disappointed. Nothing more, nothing less. If you can interpret that to mean 'faking injury' then I would say you are putting words into my mouth.So what did you mean then when you said those dissapointed looks were "quite telling?"
Telling of what?
No this just doesn't make sense. If all you were doing was acknowledging that Rooney had a sad face "It's quite telling" is an odd choice of words. It's even odder to then have an argument with another poster about this who would surely agree with you. Cos you know...Rooney does look sad.But I have already tried to explain my comment and you, seemingly, just ignored it.

I asked this elsewhere and no one has bothered to reply, maybe you can help: has anyone, in this thread or elsewhere, actually said that Shaw was faking injury? I must admit I have not seen it. It all seems like just insinuations made up out of nowhere because some people on the forum have decided some other people on the forum are accusing players of faking injuries.
Well, perhaps my choice of words is odd but, even so, I don't see how you get to the faking injury interpretation. And if you read the to and fro, you will see that other poster never once asked me to clarify what I had meant. He just assumed he knew (that I meant Shaw was faking injury) and straight away decided I was an absolute fecking moron. He had some preconceptions and didn't bother to check closely if my post really confirmed them.No this just doesn't make sense.

Yeah, I heard he'll probably miss the start of next season.Any idea how long he will be out for? Will he miss the pre-season preparations too?
That was the intention of the tweet. When else have you ever seen the reaction of a player to another player being injured highlighted? Or the minute of the injury? That's what you said was telling so you can understand the confusion.Well, perhaps my choice of words is odd but, even so, I don't see how you get to the faking injury interpretation.

It's also funny how much you talk about Jose.It's funny how if José has said that Shaw faked the injury some will still lap it up.
Does he have 1 year left on his contract?Yeah, I heard he'll probably miss the start of next season.
That's proper shit then isn't it. He won't be fit for the start of the season, will take him about half of the season to get himself moving again, if he rushes himself he'll get injured again.Yeah, I heard he'll probably miss the start of next season.
I just took it at face value. I don't know the intention and since I don't look at most tweets or reports regarding injuries, I do not know if it is unusual at all. I think @bucky posted it because another post had asked to see it. Not sure anyone thought it was evidence of faking injury.That was the intention of the tweet. When else have you ever seen the reaction of a player to another player being injured highlighted? Or the minute of the injury? That's what you said was telling so you can understand the confusion.

I posted it, because others missed it and I wanted to check again. The reaction from Carrick and Rooney was definitely unusual, but I am not going to guess whether they were annoyed by Shaw or that it was just another injury to one of our players.I just took it at face value. I don't know the intention and since I don't look at most tweets or reports regarding injuries, I do not know if it is unusual at all.

And by the way, did you see my question: has anyone actually said Shaw faked the injury?
Yes but has an option of a further year.Does he have 1 year left on his contract?
I think people in general, myself included, are annoyed by the injuries and that it's always the same suspects. Do I feel sorry for Shaw? Yes. But I also want us to sign a left-back now, since we can't wait on him anymore. It's a tough business they are in and there's no time for sentimentality. Injuries have hampered our chances for titles in the past and this time around it's hurting our chances to get into the CL.It is crazy how some were too quick to judge him, I remember a guy even talking about a "fake limp"

I'll be honest it did have the look of a fake limp about it, to me.
Whether it was, or not, it's not the kind of thing that would usually cross my mind and I have no agenda either way.
Sounds ominous from Jose anyway.
Thats exactly the point I'm making. You said he would have gone off with the Physio's advice. The physio can only advise on what Shaw tells him and if Shaw's being a wimp he's going to say whatever gets him substituted.
The "Shaw needs to man up and run it off" crowd have gone awfully quiet since it turned out it was a ligament injury. Funny that.I'm almost starting to believe he's faking it. He seem to be going down with life threatening injuries each and every match. I hope I'm wrong on this one, but hearing José state he's unhappy with the attitude of some players makes you wonder.
As Bucky said, it's just fraustration rearing its ugly head. The same players getting the same knocks, tweaks and sprains all the bloody time when our squad is already thread bare takes it out of you.The "Shaw needs to man up and run it off" crowd have gone awfully quiet since it turned out it was a ligament injury. Funny that.
You didn't know the intention, you don't look at reports of injuries(whatever that means), or many tweets, your comment of "its telling" was just you saying Rooney has a dissapointed face with no other inference.I just took it at face value.

His first season with us was ruined by niggling injuries too. I would say there is room for concern about his future here.The over-reaction in this thread about Shaw is hilarious. He's having a run of bad luck with niggling injuries after coming back from a year long, serious injury. Is this suddenly something new? Or do we simply have to panic, state how he's never going to make it at the top, is a wimp, and his career will be curailed by injuries forever? Can we not just sit back and think that maybe with a full pre-season ahead of him, if he puts in the work there's no reason he can't come back stronger than before? To say he should be sold now is baffling to me. Stick with him for at least another year.
