On purpose or not?

[Guest PurpleNose]

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.

 

Strange technique for running don't you think? Running with your elbow/shoulder out infront of you. Not great for top speed, quite good for barging into people.

 

Even if it was an honest mistake, and he was merely trying to get to the ball, he has still knocked a woman over. A little common courtesy to perhaps check she's alright, help her up perhaps, wouldn't go a miss.

 

Regardless of his intention, and indeed if it was sparked by some form of sexism, I think the aftermath is sadly a good example of the attitude of a lot of footballers. Why should we give a fuck about an assistant ref we've just knocked over? We're above them.

 

Can you imagine if she'd toppled him? We'd have had five minutes of him rolling around on the floor before getting up to shout at her.

Maybe he apologised after the game? Looked like he was trying to maintain balance to me, hence the high elbows.

 

Mind, I'm one of those airy-fairy sandal wearing beard strokers.

I think I must be. For not accepting his cuntery.

[Guest TK-421]

Every cunt's got a beard these days. 80% of them don't suit it. FACT.

[Guest PurpleNose]

93% of all paedophiles have beards. Just saying.

[RedinSweden]

Looked to me like she was completely obscured by the Vidic player and he was off in the direction of the ball.

[Welsh]

What is she doing out of the kitchen is my question?

 

Nah but honestly I'm not sure whether it was intentional or not, Bellamy was calling her a dozy cow throughout the game though, the mad bastard.

[Jennings]

I would.

[tenner]

Not too sure but it looks like he changed direction just before the collision.

[Guest ShoePiss]

It looks really bad from that angle and level of zoom. We're not seeing everything though. Did feel a twinge of sympathy when there was a big cheer then realised if this was a man I'd be laughing too.

[shaunstrudwick]

Would Keys and Gray have 'hit it'?

 

Sian Massey is quite fit imo

[sm9]

Even if he didn't mean it, the fact he never quickly apologised or checked to see if she was okay, shows that he's a prick. I hope someone twats the shithouse in the next game.

[Guest ShoePiss]

ha strudwick in the green, never thought I'd see the day!

[sir roger]

Edging towards deliberate but enough doubt to not be totally sure.

 

Wouldn't put it past the average neanderthal footballer to think it was hilarious to knock a female linesman over.

[Bob]

nothing in that at all. He kept the ball in, changed direction to run after it.

 

Also, the camera then followed her, as you would expect, so he was out of shot the whole time she was getting up and wasnt too far from her when it finally panned round. He may have well gestured an apology before walking away, who knows?

[Alan Sex]

Not to worry, he's not getting a call in his favour the rest of the season.

Yeah noticed that too. Also that he might've instinctually put his arms out to protect his face/head, which was probably the best thing to do as he might've even nutted her if he hadn't of. If it was a male linesman we'd probably not even be talking about it.

Agreed, so much for equal rights eh...

[Jack the Sipper]

Andy Gray liked it:

[Acid]

He avoided the other player, then changed direction into her. Deliberate.

[Funkasy]

if she wasn't standing in his way, he could have gotten the ball after that.

[Tom R]

100% deliberate and a total cunt for doing so.

[MLB]

What a fucking scrote. That's terrible, that. Cowardly little twat. I would fucking ban him for that, the little shithouse.

[Kevin D]

I've seen them given.

[Yozzer]

Smash er lad!
