Of course, he did. Flamini took the ball first fair and square. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But that still doesn't take away the fact that he went in with a two-footed tackle. That should be a no-no anywhere and anytime. Straight red. And of course, the players should know it in the back of their head. Not just Flamini, but all professional footballers.

I'd say there was no malice involved in that tackle from Flamini, apparently, but that is still no excuse.

[Milan Are Brilli...]

I saw the replay many times, I was certain Flamini took the ball. But considering the aftermath, I guess he must have hit Corluka as well.

It's not really about getting the ball with this sort of tackle. When you jump in/lunge in, you are not in control of what you're doing, natural momentum takes over. There's no way of stopping yourself when you do this. Let alone when you do it with both feet and showing studs. It's a recipe for disaster.

You do that a few times and you will break someone's leg, at the very least their ankle.

But how did Corluka get injured if Flamini hit the ball? Was it because of the high pressure?

Think he caught him as well as getting the ball.

I'm not sure on Corluka's injury in terms of connection with Flamini it wasn't that bad.

Though as I've said above the tackle was hideous and could easily break someones leg that's the issue here not the end injury.

Flamini/Corluka

There's definitely contact.

Tottenham's Joe Jordan Slams Milan's Gennaro Gattuso Over ‘Pathetic’ Racism Claim

Scotsman denies any racist jibes

Tottenham coach Joe Jordan has blasted claims by Milan’s Gennaro Gattuso that racist remarks fuelled their dispute at the San Siro on Tuesday night.

Gattuso claimed that the Scotsman, himself a former Milan player, had provoked him with racist slurs, after which the Italian international grabbed Jordan by the throat before later headbutting him.

Jordan has moved to rubbish claims, and speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “To come up with something like that is pathetic. It is completely and utterly untrue and something so wildly inaccurate doesn't do him much credit.

“He clearly doesn't realise I consider playing for Milan the proudest time of my career, that my daughter lives and works in Italy and that I love the country and the people.”

Meanwhile, Gattuso is set to face UEFA disciplinary officials on Monday, with his club having prepared a dossier to help him avoid a long term ban.

Milan president Adriano Galliani said: “What Rino did was an unpleasant episode that was not good. But he has been deeply provoked and should not be criminalised.”

Ancelotti came out in support of Rino. Also an article in goal.com where they say the English media has gone overboard with the whole "Milanimals" and "Mafiosi" schtick.

Good of Carletto to stick up for his old boy, when the whole of England was up in arms. But I still think his captaincy should be revoked. I'm very displeased with Galliani for saying he can continue as vice captain.

Was it really.

You don't count. You're from some God forsaken place in England that no one even knows exists.

The whole of England (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

No, one cared about Milan after Wednesday. Everyone's more interested in Arsenal after what they did to Barca and in particular Messi.

“He clearly doesn't realise I consider playing for Milan the proudest time of my career, that my daughter lives and works in Italy and that I love the country and the people.”

Is it just me that believes what he says?

He clearly uttered the F word in Rino's face, but racism? I doubt it.

[Fillipo Simone]

Nevermind. Rino's actions were a disgrace, nothing else matters.

[kurtsimonw]

Is it just me that believes what he says?

He clearly uttered the F word in Rino's face, but racism? I doubt it.

What he says just sounds like a guilty man to be honest. It's like someone I know is racist and alwas comes out with "how can I be racist, I have a black friend". This just sounds the same as that. He's Scottish too..

[Jack Sparrow]

I definitely think Joe Jordan should be penalised. My gripe is not with Rino losing his head. It's with Rino the captain of the most decorated squad in the world losing his head.

It's like Roger Federer trying to pick a fight with Murray. Why?? The gulf in class is obvious..yet Rino reduced us from virtual footbaling royalty to being a thuggish team. I can never forgive him for this. I've stuck up for him through thick and thin..and he did this shite that for me is unforgivable.

A tramp on the street has more class than that pr!ck.
