Never good to see players injured, even when they bring it on themselves. Fouling and 'taking one for the team' is part of the modern game. Down to refs to pick it up early, and if they spot a play maker like KDB or DS being singled out give a card. To be fair Dann's foul wasn't too bad, just unlucky the way he twisted his knee. Puncheon's was a shocker, but we can't entirely take the moral high ground here, Fernandinho can be a bit exuberant too.

They were just following one of Gary Neville's favourite commentating quotes "taking one for the team foul".

I agree with Dann, Puncheons was terrible though !!

Don't think it's really Karma for Dann, you see plenty of tackles like that in most games, didn't seem cynical.

Puncheons was awful though, he took 'taking one for the team' too far in essence. To me that means maybe a tug on someones shoulder or holding onto their shirt if they break past you, not a scissor action from behind with zero attempt for the ball.

He'll think twice next time I'm sure, and as bad as it sounds, I'd much rather this the outcome than have seen him take KDB out for the season purely by being a massivecunt.

Dann did an atrocious tackle on Aguero 3 years ago.

Karma doesn't have a calendar.

KDB has probably fouled someone in his career to be fair, so his injury is coming.

Wow.
You'd think the baby Jesus had been studded in the throat the way you lot go on about KDB being kicked in the shins.
Karma that a players out for the season ?
Really ? 🤔

We're concerned about the welfare of our players.

What a bunch of caants we are.

Probably the whole concept is a bit tricky for you to get your head around. Karma is the idea that your own bad actions will cause consequences for you in the future. So if you try to cheat by committing a dangerous and cynical foul then bad things may happen to your knee ligaments. If that doesn't help try reading Buddhism for Dummies or anything written by Joey Barton.

was a bit like the Gazza tackle,from the olden days, where he crocked himself because he was trying to kick the forest player so hard

Joey Barton can write? When did that happen?

You obviously don't read the Guardian. Joey Barton is the thinking man's footballer, a successor to Graeme Le Saux.

I heard that he had 2 books but that he had nearly finished colouring in the first one

Apparently he can even do joined up writing after his spell at Her Majesty's Pleasure !!

What's tricky, is your walking the league, playing great football, having a fantastic season, yet seem to be deriving pleasure from a relegation threatened club, losing 2 players for the rest of the season.
That's not karma, that's just flucking pathetic.😃

The Ladybird Book of Basic Buddhism may help you.

Read my comment above. I don't take any pleasure in their injuries. But I am with Guadrdiola on this one, refs need to give more protection to players. Trying to kick talented players out of the game is what is really pathetic.

Coming from a Spurs fan whose 2 thugs also failed to stop KDB

aint it a bittch
