ARSENE OFF BEAM BUT ENTITLED TO BE UPSET

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is wrong when he suggests the awful injury to his 19 year old Aaron Ramsey was part of a plan to kick Arsenal off the pitch.But he is entitled to be angry about the tackle from Stoke's Ryan Shawcross.It was very bad but having watched it over and over on TV I am convinced it was not deliberate.I think Birmingham's then defender Martin Taylor was even more clumsy with the dreadful tackle on Eduardo.And Manchester City's Carlos Tevez was fortunate not to be badly hurt from the dreadful red-card lunge by Chelsea's Michael Ballack.The FA/Premier League have got to use TV evidence to cut out this dangerous play.Too much emphasis is placed on yellow carding excited goalscorers and not enough on heavy penalties for dangerous play.True in most cases the red card is shown but further punishments should be imposed when warranted.I know its a physical game but it is also a player's career.
