That's really poor from Rooney. If he meant it or not it's wrong to lie in order to get a player into trouble.
Tyrone Mings stamp on Zlatan | He’s at it again
- Thread starter Cutch
- Start date
Go jump over someone and tell me where your leg lands
Someone could've told him or he saw it at half time.
They all do it, he's sticking up for his team-mate who would have told him what happened (or he saw a video replay in the dressing room). It's funny in this case because he is so blatantly lying.
Carra's points are the most valid.
Even if he didn't mean it, you would acknowledge that you've studded someone...at any level. Mings was smirking in conversation with Zlatan before the corner, he knows.
Zlatan's reaction from a professional view is out of order. But as a human, it's understandable.
But I think the overall incidents cost us the game. Henry was right, the whole game was weird afterwards. Even my missus was like wtf is going on.

Lying about being aware of it? Perhaps Zlatan told him or another player or they watched it at half time on the monitors?
Horrible to be fair. Rooney though..
I'm sure it wouldn't have been difficult for Zlatan to make those around him aware that he's just been stamped on the head.
He didn't come out and say he had his 20/20 vision beamed on the incident.
Mings is a cnut and Rooney is well within his right to fib.
Mings will get a ban, too, which is great.
Disgraceful, should never be seen on a football pitch and hopefully a lengthy ban awaits him.
? That's exactly what I said in the post you quoted.
We should have sent Zlatan out list match to try and do damage control....
Says he didn't meant it, he is a liar. Worst part of it is that Ibrahimovic will get a ban for the elbow. At least he didn't do Ibrahimovic any real damage, no wonder he reacted the way he did, it wouldn't have mattered if he waited til later in the game to exact some justice, it most likely would have been picked up by the cameras anyway so a ban was inevitable.
Frustrating game, apart from the incidents surrounding the red card/non-red cards, two points chucked away in a poor overall performance against a poor team that couldn't believe their luck. The second half against 10 men was atrocious.

Like i said. Look at the second replay. He stands up, his right foot slips. he tries to recover by placing his leg way to wide and even hitting Rooney in the process(almost stamping on his hand), being completely off balance. And then still goes for the "jump". Thats not a good indicator for a regular jump. No one can make a proper jump like that, being in the position that he was. So he shouldve never went for it and shouldve received a red card. But he didnt try to stamp him on purpose thats for sure.
He's just a clumsy fck.
Looked very intentional tbh.
That's easily the worst thing I've seen occur on a football pitch.
It makes me feel abit sick watching it because it could've been so much worse.
Vile.

Can we consider criminal action as a club? I mean if that was on the streets that would be common assault.
He's massive cnut. The stamp was bad enough but that interview made him look like an even bigger twat. Should have let Fellaini lose on the thug.
Of course they can, they won't though. You could report it to the police yourself if you wanted to, would be very interesting to see how they would react.
I thought he came across pretty well in that post-game interview, which annoyed me a little bit.
Mings can only get better
I think it's ridiculous to say that stamp was intentional. He was just trying to jump over him going forward and happened to catch his head.
my godIF it was intentional, and I'm pretty sure it was, this cnut should get the Keane-Haaland treatment.
I think this route should be explored. There must have been cases in the past where criminal complaints were filled.
Perfect analasys, I can't believe how some actually think he would intentionaly try to stamp him.
If he is banned, is it even going to affect him? Tyler and Neville seemed insistent that his injury was a fairly bad one.
Ibra should not be banned, the Ref dealt with the incident on the pitch and spoke to him.
If Ibra gets banned, it goes against the FAs own rules.
Where do you see him even looking at Ibra? He was looking at the ball the whole time.
Different situation of course but that's what started the John Terry racial abuse court case (a QPR fan complained to the police).
Mings could have easily lost his balance while doing the motion. Do not want to know what could have happened if his entire weight with studded boots on Zlatan's head.
Sickening and disgraceful.
Sickening and disgraceful.
I saw it differently but many will. Zlatan's was clearly intentional, Mings I feel is less clear in terms of intent - either way remarkable that neither were sent off
Rooney claiming it intentional would mean he has eyes in the back of his head
We don't know what the ref saw or didn't see regarding Zlatan's elbow. If he puts in his report that he saw the elbow and deemed it accidental then he won't get banned. If he does not mention it Zlatan could still be banned.
Duncan Ferguson got jailed for an incident on the pitch. That was in Scotland though.
Don't think that would be very smart cause Zlatan went for revenge. Also it probably can't be proven 100% that it was intentional.
Would open a big can of worms if people started to pursue the police route for on field offenses. I imagine United would distance themselves if anyone did register a complaint.
We have the world's first mind reading footballer if he knew he had to jump but didn't look to see Ibra on the floor. Forget banning him he should be the starting point of the FA's X-Men.
And it's perfecty fine that this includes Zlatan's head?
Some quite extraordinary mental gymnastics people are doing to claim it wasn't intentional
He's looking at Zlatan the whole time and doesn't bother to even stop when the ball is away to acknowledge what he did.
