In fact, if you're as good as Ramos, you wait until the guy you want to injure is the tackler. It's very easy to lose possession at just the right distance to make someone slide and stretch - at full stretch any decent impact has a good chance of doing some damage. Make someone slide in, get tangled between their legs and twist on the way down. That or land on a knee/ankle on he way down. You can also jump the tackle and land, studs first, on a foot or knee too.I just dont see it. As Scara said, far more effective ways. Looked to me much more like simply stopping that phase of play by any means, as he usually does
People suggesting it was just an accident are incredibly naive. Ramos left himself in there, took out one arm and landed on Salah. You don't fall like that naturally, and if you were bothered about not hurting the other person, you certainly wouldn't fall like that.
As for the 'it was the other arm that got dislocated', Salah had to break his fall with that arm, from the weight of two people.
I've just watched and rewatched the Ramos/Salah incident, yes Ramos hooks Salah's arm but watch Salah initiate the contact by leaning in to Ramos with his arm across Ramos, the act of leaning in already had Salah falling to the ground. Then watch Ramos' eyes he is constantly looking at where the ball is. I'm no mind reader but I'm sure he's thinking along the lines of "I need to get to the ball" not "let's dislocate Salah's shoulder."

Death threats to Karius already, thought they'd at least had a mourning period.
Does that make his actions OK? He also committed numerous niggly fouls on Kane and Alli during our match. Refs must know what Ramos is like now in the same way as Dele has become notorious for diving . They need to give him a yellow early doors it will make him try and play a bit more rather than just be a clam.As far as intent goes, I only think that Ramos intended to whack Salah whenever the opportunity presented itself. I remember when he clattered Bale when we played in Madrid a few years back. If there's a player on the other team who can run fast and cause him problems, he will try to slow them down. I doubt he tried some Judo sh1t to remove Salah from the game. IMO, he only ever intended to be physical, intimidate him (or try to) and slow him down.

Cheeky bid?
Him and Lamela in the same team would be a dark arts masterclass.
Right. A foul. Although watching it over, Salah makes the mistake of reaching across Ramos to try and push him out of the way/keep him away; Ramos won't back down from that!
Indeed. No greater conspiracy, not grand designs of taking him out, just Ramos being Ramos.
Which, Ill be honest, I certainly dont advocate. Im just arguing against the notion people are pushing to make this more than it is.
Sadly every club has a macaronic element to it's fans.I thought they had that classy you’ll never walk alone thing going on?

He'd definitely be in a world 11 team of cvnts.He gets sent off plenty, so I guess his actions aren't ok from a rules standpoint. From a winning standpoint, they are pretty good though. He walks the line and oversteps it often enough that he gets sent off more than any player I can think of. He's a qunt, but I'd want him on my team.
