Kevin Friend Having An Absolute Mare

Misses Tyrone Mings commit what I can only describe as almost the sickest thing I've ever seen on a football pitch in stamping on Ibra's head, then misses Ibra getting his revenge on Mings with a forearm smash and finally books Surman twice but doesn't send him off 'til someone in his ear points out that he has to. All in the space of two minutes.

    Mings an utter disgrace. I'm amazed Ibra waited till the corner to flatten him. Jose having a right go at him in the tunnel.
  • Stamp on the side of the head - no card
    Elbow in the face - no card
    Slight push - early bath son!

    This game has at least 3 reds in it. Should be an entertaining second half.

    Mouriniho pulled Mings in the tunnel going back onto the pitch. I don't know what Arter was trying to defend. You can't defend head stamping.
  • Mings surely facing a long ban. Couple of inches the other way and that's a stud in the guys eye. Shocking.
  • The sooner we have video replays the better.

    Yes he will. And Ibra will get a 3 match ban too unless Friend says that he saw it ans thought it was accidental!!!

    Do the refs ever use the assistants properly? IMHO the reason they are so crap is that they don't play as a team ( bit like Charlton really).

    Await Mr Gage to tell me that all refs are brilliant and never cock things up.
    Smiley thing.

    Don't have satellite but You Tube videos already uploaded. Great tackle and I don't see that "stamp" as intentional - his eyes are following the ball throughout IMO.

    Why not? Works brilliantly in cricket,rugby union and rugby league. Not to mention line calls at Wimbledon.

    Mings looks down to see where Ibra is.

    What? Have another look. He has a quick glance to see where he his on the ground and then have some of that.

    Only sport in the world with Professional referees and probably the worst officiated sport in the world. Far too many mistakes every single week.

    He has now given a soft penalty to United. Justice has been done it is saved by Boruc

    You Tube may not be the best place to look - I'll have to wait until MOTD tonight now - that might change my point of view.

    Agree, some people just can't handle change I guess. The game is to fast and the sport has too much money involved for wrong decisions to be made. It can only be for the better.

    Clearly deliberate. Picking a fight with Ibra is not a very smart move. Lucky he didn't get a Kung fu kick to the face.

    That doesn't seem deliberate to me. Trips over Rooney, little control where he lands

    Which, if it was deliberate, is what he is relying on. Very tough to definitively say he meant it... I can't call it either way, again, the horror of a dirty malicious attack or the unfortune of someone who made a genuine mistake.

    Interested to see what happens

    I don't think he trips over Rooney and he clearly looks down before stamping on Ibra but then looks up, in my opinion, to make it look like it was accidental.

    I don't think Ibra's assertion that Ming's head made contact with his elbow will wash anyway - not when he's bringing the elbow as far back as he did.

    Minus looked an accident to me, Ibra knew exactly what he was doing

    Precisely why video replay evidence is doomed to fail in football.

    Now had the opportunity to see it and I'll stick with the original view - not guilty of deliberately stamping on him deliberately. Ibrahimovic on the other hand is banged to rights for the elbow (and for going over like a big girl's blouse when Surman "pushed" him).

    So did he accidently stamp on him deliberately, or deliberately stamp on him accidently ?!

    I've seen it about ten times now and this is my take as well. But the commentators here in the states, and the pundits here in the studio, all seemed to come down on the "awful, malicious stamp" side, as have many on here. Mings and Ibra had been going at it all day long leading up to that incident, but to me that would have to be a really, really precise jump and landing to be deliberate. Also, Ibra's elbow was disgusting.

    I'll be very curious to hear what Mings has to say for himself. He seems a really nice lad, which shouldn't be an excuse.
