Newcastle defender Massadio Haidara has paid tribute to United fans as their support helps him recover from his injury nightmare – NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE
I’d totally forgotten about this guy, remember when he bruised his knee, was a bad tackle if I remember right, hope he’s fit again soon, it must have been a difficult couple of weeks for him
I’d heard his leg had to be reattached after the “horror tackle”.
He’s very lucky to still be alive after Callum “Spawn of the Devil” McManaman tried to decapitate him with a machete.
Soft Franco-Geordie git.
Just think if he had met Alfie Craig, Bobby Todd, John King, Graham Barrow, Carl Bradshae, Darren Sheridan or Lee Catermole in a tackle.
Two weeks with a little bruised knee.
Soft Franco-Geordie git.
I have just actually watch the replay of the ‘tackle’ for the first time.
It’s in slow motion, so it’s easier to assess it.
Firstly, their player takes a heavy touch on the ball, with it bouncing a couple of yards away from his control.
Callum McManaman comes in and makes a challenge for the ball. In doing so, he makes a bit of what would be regarded as an ‘air shot’, as he mostly misses the ball, however the outside of his foot CLEARLY makes some contact on the ball, causing it to change direction.
It is the natural follow-through of his swinging right leg that goes on to make contact with the player. However, McManaman was not helped in the fact that his standing foot, his left foot, clearly slips on the turf, leaving him with little alternative other than to collide with Haidara.The outcome of no charge or action WAS the correct one. Perhaps McManaman, a player making his first league start, was a little ‘over enthusiastic’? But nothing else.

However, the overreaction to it from the media was totally out of order.

Totally agree with what you say about the media overreaction. The way they ‘edited’ the picture to make it look nasty and evil intentioned. No mention of his standing foot slipping from under him though, unsurprisingly.
Feckin Geordie bumming press. (Alan Nixon and Alan Oliver in the Mirror)
After viewing the above replay, we’ll have to agree to disagree on that, Sammy. I think the FA saw it how I have said.I don’t think the FA did see it as you say.
They said that one of the officials had seen the “coming together” and had decided not to take any action. That does not mean the FA agreed with that decision.
They do have the power to review incidents again and apply retrospective action if they think the officials got it badly wrong at the time. However, in this instance they said that the challenge didn’t meet that criteria.

So to follow your argument through are you saying that if the referee had show a red card and the club has appealed it, it would have been rescinded?

So it’s irrelevant. Can we let the matter drop now, please? It’s done and dusted. I only posted, because I only saw a replay of the footage 2 days ago. I hadn’t seen a replay up to then and only had my minds mind view of it, from when I sat inline with the incident, and about 20 yards away. His standing foot slipping was a major factor for me, and no doubt the panel. He was basically the same as someone at the roller rink slipping over….gravity and momentum ensured contact with Haidara.
We should actually applaud the FA for their conclusion. Matter closed.
EDIT: And as I write, SSN are still picking at it and asking Martinez why we haven’t apologized yet.
We haven’t apologized, in my view, because there is nothing to apologize for. I just watched the footage I posted above again, at an even slower rate, and McManaman GOT THE BALL. He kicked the ball, TWICE, once with each foot and had his standing foot not slipped, it wouldn’t have looked half as bad.
Our chairman was bang on, when he said nothing was wrong with it.
Will SSN be asking Newcastle about their fans behaviour in wrecking amateur games? Or for their club and it’s fans working up a frenzy that resulted in our player, a 21 year old, getting death threats? Not seen either mentioned, tbh.
What does everybody mean; media over-reaction? The BBC have only released 7 (seven) news stories about the tackle…
