Beepu 1,714 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Thought he should've just stayed on the ground but after seeing the replay of that challenge I changed my mind. Matic is a person who almost got his leg snapped in half that could end his career, he is allowed to react to that. I'm just glad he is alright, 3 games without Matic is better than months without Matic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'll admit that I'm one of those fellas who thinks Matic should not have reacted the way he did. BUT on the other hand, I can understand why he did what he did.What I don't quite get is, why was Matic rolling on the ground for 2-3 seconds after that challenge and then suddenly just got up and charged Barnes down?And oh, he's now going to miss games against Spurs, West Ham (A) and Southampton (H). Oh the joy... Eidur the Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 He's an idiot that might cost us our season. I've been very optimistic the whole season but this... i dont know, smells like a big moment. And its all on him.How would you have reacted if someone tried to break your leg?!

Matic never dives and moans, leg braking challenge on him, he gets up while bunch of other players would keep rolling on the ground.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 There was no need for him to be over the top. He should be really apologetic to the team because he may have cost us a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The tackle gets worse every time I look at it. I said as it happened that he should have kept his cool and got criticised quite harshly on here for it. However after seeing it again seconds later he was justified in his response. My days what a bad tackle that could have ended such an awesome career thats only just got going. I feel sorry for Nemanja, I should have known instantly that he wouldn't have reacted like that for just any old tackle. Its games like these that make you wonder. Ashley Barnes could have broken his leg today, sadly that sight would have been the only way for an incompetant referee to give the punishment he rightfully deserved. Ban him. NOW. termninja and Myself 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Could we appeal the ban in any way, even if it's a straight red?Imagine we're United for a minute, would the FA be able to absolve or lessen the punishment?You can appeal a straight red. But it won't be successful, there's clearly intent by Matic there. It's football, not wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleO 192 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 My stream lagged just before the incident and started working again when the tackle was shown in replay. For a moment I actually thought that Matic' leg got broken. I was relieved when I saw that he is OK, but of course his reaction was very strong. I think that during those few seconds a normal people can't think about the ongoing title competition. Someone tries to hurt you with a very nast tackle, so of course you react. It's easy to say that he shouldm't have punched the opposite player, but that was his reaction and we have to live with it now. I'm sure he regrets it, but it's easy to be smart on here and say that he did the wrong thing.Going to be difficult without him, but I trust the team and other players.

The Chels 2,502 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think we could cope without most players but Matic is going to be a huge miss. We are very dependent on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 We can cope without Cesc. Without Eden. Without JT and Costa. But when we lost Matic earlier this season, we looked awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conclusion: Stay down and roll like a pussy...brilliant message fully showing the beauty of football...This is exactly what I've been saying in the hazard thread. Stay on the ground and scream till the ref brings the card, but some people still don't get it that we're playing against the refs too.

Was only judging by the way he walked off after that.Mind you, I don't blame him at all for reacting the way he did. Was probably shocked by his reaction his anything, given he's one of the calmest players in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
