Maybe for about a minute, right up until our player got up and continued with rest of the match, not injured.
So as long as the player isn't injured, it isn't that bad?

Don't try and break someone's leg then.
I reckon you might think differently if it was the other way around.
Have you not seen the video earlier on this page? If Charlie Adam did that to a spurs player, I am sure you would be going ballistic.
You honestly think he was trying to break his leg?
Adams tackle on bale in pre season, for example (the one where bale glides past him and Adam has a go on his Achilles) is way worse for several reasons imo.
Why else make the challenge he did? He clearly isn't going for the ball and he must have known he carried a significant risk of injuring the player.
No, that's why he got a red card and three game ban, which is about right imo.So it is ok making challenges like that until someone actually gets injured?
Fucking hell. You're clueless mate. It was a rash slightly high challenge. I'm sure if he wanted to make a genuine attempt to break his leg he would've done a lot better than that.
Why is it much worse? They are both horrible challenges.

And you have no idea what Dele was thinking, it's funny that you think you do.
So you think whenever a player goes over the ball it's an attempt to break someone's leg?Why else is he making the tackle so high on his leg? I don't see what else he is trying to achieve.
Firstly, bale was past Adam and there was absolutely zero chance of him getting the ball, he was behind him. Secondly, it's a much more vulnerable part of someone to cause a serious injury which was clearly his intention. Ali was admittedly annoyed at not getting a foul but watch the actual incident in real time instead of the misleading slo mo gif and you'll see if he timed it better and wasn't so rash he could've actually won the ball, unlike Adam. Thirdly there was history between bale and Adam and lastly bale was at full tilt when Adam rakes his Achilles, Ali was practically stationary with no momentum and minimal force.
So you think whenever a player goes over the ball it's an attempt to break someone's leg?
He's miscontrolled it and had a lunge at it, he misses the ball by a tiny amount if you look again...looks worse because of where his foot ends up.
To say he's trying to break his leg is fucking ludicrous.
No...no he doesn't.Well I don't see what a player would achieve by tackling so high above the ball apart from trying to hurt a player? He doesn't miss the ball by a tiny amount, he misses by a large amount.
1. I think it is worse that Alli could have gone for the ball but instead made the challenge on the players leg which would have bent it in the opposite way it should have.
2. I personally think a broken leg is worse than a broken ankle or damage to the ligaments. Doesn't matter if Alli is annoying, doesn't mean you make tackles like that. This is 'it looks worse in slo mo' is rubbish, he doesn't show a different tackle.
3. I have no idea what the history between Charlie Adam and Gareth Bale has to do with assessing why it is much worse than Adam's tackle. Alli was lunging into the tackle, still enough to potentially cause damage.
Typical SC
You can clearly see in the video that he's swung his foot at the ball but the Gent player just gets there first leaving Alli's full momentum taking his leg up into the other guySo you think whenever a player goes over the ball it's an attempt to break someone's leg?
