James McCarthy

It's weird, I want Everton to have that bit of snide, but I don't like seeing the oppo injured. Their fackin' minerals shrank after it though. Green Street biffs.
The twitter fallout is delicious though.

typical cry arse foreigner


Prolly just snapped a nail

Did we throw the toys out over Clev? Nope.

Did we throw the toys out over Clev? Nope.

No because that's football. We understand that aspect and realise there is no choice other than to simply accept it as part of the game.

Whatever your injury, at least you're not David Buust.

McCarthy will soak up the boos like West Ham soak up tax payers money for their new stadium.*







*Disclaimer. I don't actually know the financial details of that deal and only read outraged twitter comments.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Remind me which team it was that had about five sendings off before the end of August, including a three match ban for their goalie?

Bit embarrassing to see some of the comments from some of our fans wishing injuries on players, but I also think the West Ham reaction is over the top as well. Fans these days seem to have forgotten that football is a game where mistimed tackles and unfortunate injuries can happen. The bitterness and outrage from West Ham is a joke.

It wasn't a great challenge, but there was no malice in it. For me, it's one of those scissor tackles which is actually more dangerous than these so called over the top challenges that refs love dishing out red cards for. Take Mark Noble at Anfield for example. McCarthy's was a lot worse on Saturday, but there was no intent to injure the player like West Ham are making out.

They lose any credibility though by crying that he wasn't already booked for his earlier collision with Payet and then screaming that Coleman also set out to injure Valencia. The first McCarthy challenge was a coming together, no more no less, and the Coleman one was a perfectly acceptable challenge.

Feel sorry for Payet and hope he makes a swift recovery though as he's been one of the best players in the league so far and it's unlucky for West Ham but these things happen unfortunately.

Is this what you call Pop corning?

Was it a bad tackle? Yes.
Would we be raging if Deulofeu was injured in a similar tackle? Yes.
Were we raging when Cleverley was scissor tackled and snapped his knee? Yes.

That being said, the way some West Ham fans want McCarthy's head on a spike is just absurd.
Acting as if Payet was on a Martinez hit list and McCarthy's our CIA hitman.
Bad tackles happen. It's a part of the game.

Surely the details of this person should be handed to Merseyside police to deal with ?

Absolute moron. Now I don't have a choice who i get to transfer this fantasy week and I have to find another midfielder. Couldn't care less about Payet himself or West Ham but I don't need these stresses in my fantasy team. Do one James.
