I have watched it over and over again and I just have this nagging doubt that there was some intention there.
Yes, Mings was tripped but he does appear the leave his trailing leg in there.
Maybe it happened so quickly he couldn’t pull away from it, but there is a little bit of a nasty taste here.

That's more or less where I am.  I think he's 'reckless' and could have avoided trampling on the player, even if just by falling over.

The reaction on Twitter is nearly as bad as when that Arsenal player Eduardo died and Fabregas the King, GP and cosmopolitan Arsenal season ticket holder had to blog about being roughed up by horrible midland types who he'd tried to fight out of outrage.

Nothing more than a unfortunate unavoidable coming together .
2 players off balance falling whilst chasing/tussling for the ball.

All the comparisons  to the zlatan incident are pointless , in that instance there was a bit of needle between the 2 , both on the floor, one gets up & tries to stud/stepover the other, easily avoidable. 
Looking like he'll be found guilty by social media anyway because of the previous incident .

Also as bad as that time Alan Hutton brutally shot Shane Long in the face with a blunderbuss.

Nowhere near as bad as when George Boateng viciously headbutted Paul Gascoigne's left arm.

How anyone can claim Tyrone could make a conscious decision where to put his leg in the split second this all took to unfold is beyond me.

Slowed down i can see why people think it was maybe malicious but real life doesn't happen in slow motion.

Depending on you point of view it looks very bad (made worse by the nasty facial injury) or looks like he accidently stumbled and was off balance so couldn't have done it intentionally. Having watched it back a few times I think it was accidental and would give him the benefit of the doubt rather than a lengthy ban.

Accidental but he’ll be lucky to walk away from action against him which is our concern

If the worst should happen, Mings can only get better.

That's my view too.  In real time it happened so quickly I can't see how he could have stepped out of the way.  The guy fell headlong under his feet, I'm not sure what people think Mings could have done to avoid him going at that pace.

Interesting too that the social media reaction is in stark contrast to the reaction of the players on the field.  For starters I don't think a man who'd intended to do that would immediately turn and summon the referee over.  Mings didn't behave at all like a man who'd lost his cool in the heat of the moment.  I also think that players know damn well when a foul is intentional, if the Reading players thought it was deliberate they'd have been incensed and they'd have piled into Mings in numbers, but there was no mass brawl and no attempted retribution in the rest of the game.  It looked and felt at the time like a nasty but accidental collision that was quickly dealt with; it seems that it was only when the photos were released that it became foul of the century.

Out of interest, was he done for it last time?  If so, what did he get?

The ref saw it clearly and took no action so there is no come back.

Yeah and the concern is if he is found guilty this time, he's going to get an even longer ban I would imagine.

Oliveira's missus has her say, she ain't happy:

melrodrigues22
Just want to say that Nelson is much better and he will come home tomorrow. It was a sad day for us and I hope someone will appeal for this guy get a lengthy ban!
There’s absolutely no excuse for his behaviour. He knew where his head was. Any injury is upsetting but something like this is just disgusting.
I hope something will happen, he can’t get away with that! He’s got previous!
Thank you all for the msgs, love and support
