Forget Shawcross, it's Ramsey who deserves sympathy

Posted by DavidM in Stoke City | 6 March 2010

I didn't have a big problem at the time but I'm getting really annoyed now.

I watched Ryan Shawcross' challenge on Aaron Ramsey on Saturday. While I thought it wasn't malicious, it was hard and one of those that if it went wrong - as it did - could go badly wrong.

Ramsey's injury was horrific. Shawcross was upset at what he'd done. Nasty incident but that was it.

However, since the game I, like most Arsenal fans, have been dismayed at the conveyor belt of football players, pundits and the media who have come out in support of Shawcross, offering their sympathy and how sorry they feel for him. Some did manage to wish Ramsey a speedy recovery.

Earlier this week DangerHere.com ran a little experiement. Typing 'feel sorry for Ryan Shawcross' into Google returned 543 links. However, 'feel sorry for Aaron Ramsey' returned only 10!

I tried it again tonight and the results are: Shawcross had rocketed to 14,300 though at least Ramsey had jumped to 22,000.
