Though i dont believe this is an intentional thing, as you'll see in this his fucking leg is mangled to shit.

That will more than likely be the end to that guys career, but it looks as though Ryan shawcross went to kick the ball, not tackle the ball.

I really think you are getting ahead of yourself there. no way is that his career gone down the drain, sure its going to hamper is progress but he is still young

for example look at larsonn after substaining that horror leg break against lyon, he came back
and ramseys team mate eduardo

so hope for the young ramsey is not lost
