It wasn't for the want of trying that the Olympic didn't sink.

If he does get charged we just need to accept that we lost and should get over it!

I don't see how you could possibly prove that, Mings intentionally stamped on the player.

If pushed, I would say that he could probably have stretched his leg so that it landed past Oliveria.  However, as Mings does not change direction, nobody can ever say with certainty that it was intentional.  He has to be given the benefit of the doubt here.

Violet Jessup was a ship's nurse who survived the sinking of the Titanic.  She was also on board the Britannic and the Olympic when they sank.  To accuse Tyrone Mings of serial face stamping is like accusing Violet Jessup of serial ocean liner sinking.

Events must be judged on evidence not circumstance.  All the evidence points to to the incident being an accident.

Did she by any chance have a grandson who grew up to be a teacher in Walsall?

For the people that think he should be banned regardles why weren't you calling for a ban for Cleverley when he hospitalised Grealish last summer? How about the countless other accidental collisions that happen every weekend? Should players automatically be banned if they're involved in a challenge where the other players gets hurt? Or is it just because it's the face/head? What makes something an automatic ban even if there's no evidence that it was dangerous or intentional?

All I'm trying to get at is I saw incident before i saw the picture and at no point did I ever think he would get or would deserve a ban for it.

In 1966 when I lived in Balsall Common, I sold a caravan to a young chap who intended to take it to Belgium to become e a bike racer.  He lived in Malvern but said he would come on his bike to see the caravan.  Just outside Knowle he was going full gas with his head over his bars, not looking where he was going.  He rode into the back of a horse.  Horse bucked and planted a rear hoof square in the bike rider's face.  When we opened our door too him his face was like a smashed jar of strawberry jam.  We cleaned him up, plastered him up, gave a mug of hot sweet tea and two aspirins.  He paid for the caravan and rode back to Malvern.

If we participate in sport bloody accidents are an inevitability.

Wasn't there a conspiracy about the Titantic and an insurance scam for White Star Line or what have you?

Funny you should mention that Ads, that's your lawyer intuition.  All three of those nautical disasters were to ships of the White Star Line I think.

It is clear to me from the footage that Mings was not aware that their player was underneath him. He was looking in the direction of the ball.

If he is charged then we should engage the services of Bliar, Minger and Cooper to push for a Peoples Vote until the authorities get it right. We will fight them on the beaches and in the hedgerows all the way to the Cairngorms via the Trossachs.

I think he could have moved but didn't. However, I don't think he deliberately moved to stamp on him.

But we'll never know. Everyone is entitled to their view but unless you agree with me you're wrong.

I've just seen the replay for the first time. I'd only seen the incident once, when it happened, and it's nothing like I remembered - I hadn't realised Mings basically landed on the bloke. I thought his reaction was telling, as was that of the other players. It looked like an accident at the time and it still does.
