He should be banned for an accident?

We have a referee on here don't we?

Be interesting to hear what they think.

Looking at the laws, I don't think it meets Violent Conduct as it's the aftermath of an attempt to win the ball (actually it's a foul on Mings), where Violent Conduct must be an incident off the ball. I don't see how you can separate out the fact Oliveria falls and knocks Mings' standing left leg from the original attempt for the ball.

It doesn't meet any of the criteria for Serious Foul Play.

What would he be charged with?

It seems to me much is being made by the Twitterati over a split second incident slowed to several second gif's. He hope and plants his foot as he naturally tries to maintain balance, head lowering as it does when you fall to act as a counterweight.

He says it was accidental, it's very unfortunate that there's been a nasty injury. Nothing ultimately serious beyond a few stitches though.

No difference to Lukaku catching koscielny the other day. Just an accident.

We don't know if it was an accident. Even if it was, personally I don't think a ban would be unfair as it ended up being extremely dangerous, and will most likely cause Oliveira to miss several games.

So despite all evidence showing it was an accident, we’ll ignore that because Oliveira got some cuts on his face. Jesus wept mate, get a grip.

That statement is illogical. You can’t say it’s fair to ban people for accidentally injuring someone. It’s very unfortunate and that’s the end of it.

If it was deliberate I hope he gets a lengthy ban, but to say a ban wouldn't be unfair even if it was a complete accident seems a tad bizarre. Does every player that injures another player, even in fair challenges, get a ban as well?

Has Oliveira suggested it was deliberate? Or the Reading manager?

Not at all. Watch the video below in full speed. Watch the Reading players. Nobody appeals. Keep an eye on Mings once he sees the extent of the injury. He doesn’t exactly look happy. This was an accident.

If we don't know it was an accident, we don't know that it was deliberate either. You can't ban someone unless you're sure. As for being dangerous, if your foot moves out of its natural direction then fair enough, I'd agree. If your foot is just going where gravity and momentum takes it, that's not an indication of reckless play.

Sounds like he played well yesterday. But he should get a ban for that, no justice for Oliveira if not.

Justice for Oliviera, fucks sake, standards severely dropping.

Twitter is somewhere between a ten game ban and a public execution for Tyrone at the moment.

I don't think I've ever seen a player tread on another player's head before, even accidentally, and yet we've got a player who's done it twice.  If it was one of our players who had come off the pitch looking like he'd been run over by a lawnmower, we'd all be mightily pissed off.

'all evidence' it's literally a case of watching the same replay, either normal speed or slowed down. In slow mo it's looks worse for Mings. If Grealish comes back Friday and a Sheffield Utd defender does that to him, I think the reaction will be very different afterwards.

I’ve only seen the slow motion video, it’s very difficult to tell from that.
My guess would be accidental.
