On purpose or not?

[Kozel9]

Just saw this incident involving Sian Massey getting a hit from Kevin McNaughton.

 

 

So what do you think? Personally i think its tough to tell, but i don't get how he can't avoid her when he speeds up.

[Lee909]

Looks like it was intentional to me.

[lifetime fan]

Would Keys and Gray have 'hit it'?

[NavyRedMan]

The little shit meant that.

[Trucker Paddy]

That was on purpose

[NLW2010]

Clearly done with intent, stupid thing is she is better/more consistently making the right calls than her male peers. Football really needs to grow the fuck up .

We can't see if he acknowledged / apologised as he walked off, so I might be wrong, but I'm sure he could have avoided her if he'd wanted to.

 

Which makes him a typical footballing 'hard man', ie not one at all. A little bully who probably gets the pinny on when he gets home as his wife shouts "Get them spuds pelt you charmless little turd!".

 

That emasculated, pent-up frustration's got to be taken out on someone. if it's not down the local meat market "Crystals" night club, it's in his place of work.

 

Easy target.

You're in a MAN'S world now, luv.

 

Aye, and she's tougher than you.

[RED.DUB]

he got away with that, because he definitely meant it?

[Einch]

Fucking cunt totally meant that. I hope he gets shoved around by some total roidasauraus so that he can see it from the other side.

[Rorschach08]

Yeah, done that on purpose and probably wouldn't of done it to a bloke linesman. Clearly a nonce.

[King Emlyn]

Felt really sorry for her there, she was wearing one of those false smiles some people do when they're upset and trying to hide it.

[macc]

Totally intentional. To me it looks as though he changes direction so he hits her on purpose...

[rondeco]

He fucking charges at her. Tough guy eh?

[FieldingMellish]

Tough girl, weak, spine-less poor excuse for a hard man.

[JimmyConway]

Definitely meant to hit her,the fucking coward,what level of a wanker are you when you wouldn't even ask her if she was alright.

I hope someone goes through the shithouse this weekend

[Seanleonardart]

No way did he mean that...he kept the ball in play, knocked the ball into space and tried to chase it knocking her over in the process..if he meant it i doubt he be on all fours after hittin her !!

 

complete accident

[Xherdan]

Actually thats a fair point about keeping the ball in. Unintentional.

[king7]

Thought it was intentional first time I saw it, since he changes his direction towards her. However as noted above he manages to keep the ball in and chases after, puts the whole situation in a different light.

[Unrighteous]

Looks intentional but we can't see his feet really... if he's aiming them at her, its intentional, and if he's messing with the ball then i'd say unintentional.

That was my first impression too, plus his view of her was probably obscured a bit by the Middlesbrough player. Not 100% sure though.

[Guest PurpleNose]

He changes direction and speeds up. It was clearly intentional.

 

She did well to jump straight back up, and say nothing about it.

 

What a total fucking coward that McNaughton is.

I thought that at first, but he changes direction because the ball has been kept in play and he chases after it.

 

Probably didn't apologise because she got in his way and stopped him from getting the ball.

[VladimirIlyich]

I think it was intentional but even if it wasnt an apology or acknowledgement would have been the right thing to do.

Wouldnt have done it to a fella,the shithouse.

Shes a decent official TBH.

[Guest TK-421]

I will have to give the benefit of the doubt and say "not". Cards marked, though.
