Leroy Sane - Ankle ligament damage confirmed

And let's not forget Jesus' injury wasn't an accident

he will be out 4 or 5 weeks...... 6 or 7 sounds better at the moment while we are laying it thick on the idiot who tackled him.

he is young, he will recover quicker than expected.

but we must go to town on what ever we can though for that tackle, it is a disgrace, the referee lost the situation to. The game cant carry on like that because if lower teams see it fit to play like this against skillfull teams we wont have any skill left !!

He was poorly placed to see the actual incident as it occurred.

It's a difficult one bringing in VAR for tackles so I don't think anything can be done during the game but retrospectively as was the case with Thatcher a stiffer penalty can be applied and should be to circumvent the stupid yellow card rule.

This won't stop Sane making a recovery of epic proportions though.

We can cry all we like but bad tackles have been and always will be part of the game.

Not seen any criticism of Lee incompetent Mason in the media. That fraud just drifts along putting in one bad performance after another but still gets allocated high profile games. Must be well in with Mike the pen Riley.

Just another shameful stain on the face of football courtesy of the FA and PGMOL.

No they aren't. They are fouls, against the rules, outlawed, proscribed and penalised. They would NOT be part of the game if we had competent referees who dealt with them as the authorities are supposed to wish. Lee Mason did the usual City trick and failed to book the first bad tackle on Gundogan, let other horrors go and then booked Ferna for arms round the chest and finally chickened out when Sanae was done, thus leaving Bennett to have one final go at Diaz.

We have had referees for as long as we have had football, and we have always had bad tackles. What's intent, and what's just a mis-timed tackle? A referee can't fix human frailty or red mist.

I think there should be retrospective action for players who commit such fouls and get away with it during the game. That might reduce the number of bad challenges.

But a referee can put a stamp on the game and ensure some order. Mason's abject failure to do that on Sunday resulted in further injury as the Cardiff players thought they could foul with impunity as it wasnt addressed

That's why they are considered fouls and its the degree of how they are penalised that is open to debate.

He should have sent off but that would not have changed the rehab that Sane is now on to get back into side.

Absolutely. This "ref saw it and took action (i.e. yellow card) and therefore nothing can be done, is quite the most ridiculous rule.

The FA needs to seriously ask itself, what sort of football do we want to encourage in this country? Fast, skillful players with quick passing, great movement and moments of brilliance? Or a bunch of cloggers hoofing the ball forward and flattening anyone who has a modicum of talent? If the latter, carry on.

there was no foul for that injury
