‘could have been killed’ …. don’t make me laugh. You drew at Swansea, deal with it. Dame Alice Ferguson more like!

what’s new ?

So footballer gets hit by football. Is there more to the alleged assassination?

Dunno about being killed, but bet it stung a bit!

TBH it was a blimmin’ stupid way to clear a ball.

But hardly attempted murder

seadog, i agree, but Ashley Williams couldn’t hit the a*se of a donkey with a banjo, so to say he deliberately did it is just nonsense

The most successful manager in British European history in being a sore loser drawer shocker.
I hope I have that much energy and determination at his age.

He has always massively exaggerated any incident against his team, he uses the media to intimidate referees. The FA and the premier league have always shyed away from taking him to task, and unfortunately as the most successful manager in the game, he sets the tone that others follow.

Williams. In the penalty box, with the football…

His head barely moves from the impact, modern balls are like balloons, it was no worse than being hit in the face with a pillow by a sexy lady. Not like the old days, when someone with the nickname “chopper” or “bone smasher” would have kicked a waterlogged leather casey at your head that weighed the same as a cannonball and your head would have exploded on impact.

Strangely, I would have thought RVP would be used to having balls in his face…

Most dangerous thing he’d ever seen on a football pitch…or something along those lines?

Any other manager would be explaining his comments. I doubt Fergie will.

Typical Fergie – deflect attention from the team and result by something deliberately daft.

Its not as if the ball its anyones head, ever!

If it’d been the other way round I’m sure he’d have said ‘whats the problem’?

I see what you did there.

What a drama Queenprick

FTFY

This it is all trolling/deflection

No one talking about how they failed to beat Swansea, how badly Rooney played etc – just discussing the daft thing he said which is what he wants.

Its quite clever but obvious and yet everyone get sucked in

Did anyone see how hard the ball hit Torres’ head in the chelsea game, it flew off at some rate of knots.
That bloke who “crossed” it at him, Azpilicueta, should be BANNED FOR LIFE

Funny how in professional circles RVP seems to be one of these players hated by his fellow pro’s may be for all his talent he is also one of these players that has a nasty streak and quite often will leave a deliberate foot or elbow in every now and again.
The comical thing is that after suffering such a life before the eyes moment he jumped up quick enough to have a go!

+1

Hardly life threatening was it?! Funny how usually the merest tap will see a soccerist rolling around in ‘agony’ RVP was up on his feet pretty sharpish to remonstrate with the other soccerballerist. Doesn’t half make me cringe does football!

loum 😆

It’s football so it’d bound to be 5hite.

Edit: Ah, what’s the point?

bemused why people who hate football open football threads… and comment… yet ignore 100’s of bike threads…

Hang on, I opened the thread, and although I’m no fan of football, I don’t hate it. I just thought Dame Alice was out of order calling for a long term ban for a player from another team for such a trivial incident.

I don’t think weeksy is referring to you, mate.

To be fair it could have killed RVP. Just like a satellite could have falled out of the sky, bounced off a marshmallow factory and hit RVP in the back of the head and killed him. Odds are probably roughly the same.

there was no need for it, I’m West Ham so have no interest in Man U but even so no need, Fergie directing attention off of his players… that’s what world class managers do isn’t it so his players can concentrate on playing?

Jamie, yeah I realise, not getting indignant or anything. LOL at Glupton as well

Well, that’s the thing. Everyone knows why he said it, and what it was intended to achieve. Mark Chapman said as much on MOTD2, as did Alan Green on 5Live….

…yet they kept with the narrative and led the shows with the quote.

All a bit knowing.

Give the guy a break !! Let him have his last christmas lunch with the family before they choose his home for next year!! Wonder if RVP has woken up with a whole new outlook on life after his near death experience yesterday!!!!

I like these politics of envy threads 😉

The jokes are hilarious too- Sir Alex becomes Sir Alice — god I miss playground humour and banter

You’re not a Man U fan, per chance, JY?

Don’t watch it then.

OK Higgo I won’t, cheers for the advice.

That’s why I like STW.

It can solve any problem.
