De Jong's leg-breaking tackle put Ben Arfa out for a year?

For a journalist to go back and edit his article simply proves the OP was correct, it was a shocking article.
Also confirms we are not all mad, polaroid bastards!

I'll take that as a no then !

Truth be told PB I have read nothing into the article. The build up to this fixture was always going to reference the Arfa incident as this was a flashpoint in a shocking game.

My opinion is that is was a poor tackle. If this challenge was made on a city player or me when I played I would not have been pleased. You think this was a fair tackle; fair enough.

As for trawling my posts and calling me a rag - Why ? I can only attribure this to the fact that I have disagreed with you.

Was it?
I haven't given that incident a 2nd thought in the weeks before this match, and neither have to two Newcastle fans i drink wiith. I can't see any posts on the forum that reference the tackle and there's plenty of NUFC fans on at the moment.
Your opinion counts for nowt really considering the ref (5 yards away at the time) saw nothing malicious or illegal in the challenge.

From this thread it would seem the article has had the desired effect and stirred up a bit of a row.

So whatever decision a referee makes rightly or wrongly my opinion counts for 'Nowt' as you put it ? What an odd comment.

I work in newcastle and it's all they have been able to talk about - funny that.

I did not post any of the comments johnmc said but believe him. Perhaps SWP's back can explain how I have been 'busted'. I have had issue with city's support in the last 4/5 years because it has been poor compared to years before. How does this mean I am a rag ?

As always on BM the clique stills exists where certain posters revel in having a go at other posters and allowed to get away with it.

OK, to be a little less colloquial;
Your opinion is irrelevant in deciding whether the tackle was clean or dirty under the rules of the game. The ref saw nothing that broke the laws of the game so therefore the tackle is clean. And that, under the rules of football, is a fact.
You can bang on all night but it will not alter anything.

Dunno what you're on about in the rest of the post but the clique bit made me chuckle as everyone on here generally ignores me.
