Studs up, two feet, it's dangerous, stupid and it's a booking to be sure. Technically I can see that a red can be given for it. However, at 12 minutes into the game and when the tackle DID come through cleanly, you give a yellow for it and no one, NO ONE is going to complain that it should have been red, and you still have a game on.

He was partially responsible for Aguero's goal, he said himself when he 'retired' that his 'legs [had] gone'. Ferguson might think Scholes has something more to give to this team but I frankly do not. | ||

But its also the reason people think soccer has become a soft sport because he got the ball, and no one even appealed except rooney. Nani didn't even go down like he usually does clutching his leg. So about 10/15 years ago its a clean good tackle, today its not. It's one of those where he gives it, and you know its harsh but you can't argue it. If he never gave it, I don't think anyone would have even noticed it. | ||

As for the group of beckham, scholes, giggs, neville brothers. could u please explain why most of them were/are overrated? and please dont make the argument of international play blah blah blah, if thats the case then players like messi would be heavily overrated wouldnt u say? | ||

Not to mention scholes retired from international football early in his career. And you put "top" in inverted commas as its debatable, Henry said "Without any doubt the best player in the Premiership has to be Scholes... He knows how to do everything.", sir bobby said "Paul is always so in control and pin-point accurate with his passing — a beautiful player to watch", Alan Hansen, not the best player ever but a very well respected pundit, said "one of the top three to five players to have ever played in the Premier League". Xavi rates him kinda well too: "A role model. For me, and I really mean this, he's the best central midfielder I've seen in the last 15, 20 years. He's spectacular, he has it all, the last pass, goals, he's strong, he doesn't lose the ball, vision. If he'd been Spanish he might have been rated more highly. Players love him.". But even if the idea that some of the best players in the world ive mentioned are talking out of there arse and over-rate him, what about coaches? well next to fergie you dont get much bigger than Pep himself, who said of scholes: "Out of everyone at Manchester United, I would pick out Scholes – he is the best midfielder of his generation,". Im sorry but there no doubt he was a VERY good player. | ||

I doubt that there are a lot of coaches who actually need to teach the players anything, I don't think ronaldo and messi need anyone to teach them football, the coaches are more there to to build the team and get them prepared mentally and physically but not technically. Take for example van gaal, good coach but he was an average player I don't think he knows more about football than the players he coached. My point is that coaches don't have more knowledge about football than players and that players know how to judge other players atleast as good as choaches if not better. | ||
