if you pause video you can see that he dives in at the same moment Evra releases the ball. It's late but not unbelievably late
I'd be releasing the ball in a hurry if I saw Kevin Davies going all in to break my leg too.
wouldn't blame you. In Davies mind he's diving in to either win the ball or block the pass that Evra is trying to make but fails in both regards. yellow card for me. Haven't seen the tackle on Cleverley so can't comment on that (was out last night so missed MOTD)

That's an easy yellow anyway, either way he should have been off the pitch.
Ye it looks really bad in quick time but not as bad in slow motion. Agree that should be a yellow so that and the Evra tackle = deserved red card
nah sent off for 2 yellow card offences. It's a late tackle but not red card worthy
"Tom [Cleverley] may have a broken bone in his foot. It's a bad one and it was a bad tackle. Jonny [Evans] got a knee in the hip in the second half which was pretty painful, while Patrice [Evra] got a kick on the kneecap. We'll have a look at them on Sunday."

yeah that was wierd, they didnt show the one on evra either, both were worse
I never saw the one on Evra but heard about it, very bizzare from MOTD. I would love to know which clown chooses the highlights. Did you see the stamp on Mata Mike?
I did, was nasty. :X
TBH that person who edits said there are so many incidents and few are bound to miss out.
When asked about tackle Evra, he said they felt game was too good to miss out and cleverley incident was imp so they left out tackle on Evra.
Every week there will be few incidents that will be missed out, at least big teams get enough coverage, I have seen smaller clubs fans saying chances created by their teams hardly gets shown on the show..
yeah, not impressed. definitely worst of the three in intent
Ok maybe so but there wearnt many decent highlights in the Chelsea game so it makes no sence at all to leave the stamp out.
SAF is a ******* joke. he never criticised Scholes' axes, the most recent was against City.. and what about Roy Keane's horrible axes having left many players with broken feet. gimme a break you **** wouldya.
nothing can justify davies' actions though, and he is a ****** **** too. that kind of players should be out of the game for good.

Nothing wrong with going in hard, one of your legends, Roy Keane (makes me cringe) was known for going in hard. There were plenty of times Keane went in with no intention to get the ball (Any of his challenges on Haaland for example). Not making this about Keane, you have had some very hard players in your past who make some shocking challenges, i give you paul scholes. I appreciate people are annoyed but every club has a player who goes in hard.
Bad tackle yes, but most teams have a player like that, Davies is known for being a rough player who takes no prisoners.
