    I almost had my leg snapped in two playing football – but referee brushed it off and gave a DROP BALL

    A FOOTBALLER has blasted referees after claiming he was lucky not to break his leg when suffering a shocking injury and seeing only a DROP BALL given.Tom Beere demanded a “serious discussion” on match officials as Cray Wanderers posted a photo of their sub’s gruesome gashes after he hobbled off following a fierce challenge at seventh-tier rivals Hornchurch.Leg-injury victim Tom Beere was angry at the ref’s responseSome fans who saw a clip of a home player catching the midfielder reckoned it was a freak follow-through collision rather than a foul.But Beere hit out on X: “We need a serious discussion about referees… if my leg was planted it would’ve been in 2 pieces but let’s all stick up for refs they got such a hard job.”He was responding to a post from his own club Cray, who shared a photo of the injuries and added: “Ref said ‘He caught him on the ankle’ and then gave a drop ball.”Some viewers reckon Beere’s cuts against the newly-crowned Isthmian League Premier Division champions would have been less severe had he worn traditional big shinpads.READ MORE TOP STORIESBut the ex-AFC Wimbledon youngster rejected that argument, saying the “only pad that’s stopping that is a cricket pad”.However, one football supporter posted a video – reportedly of the incident – that divided opinion amongst viewers.He wrote on X: “Seen some bad tackles and bad refereeing on here lately but this isn’t either of those surely … “Another fan responded: “That’s a great challenge and notice how nobody complains about it.”Most read in FootballA third observer argued: “Looks ok, wouldn’t say it was a great tackle though.”And a fourth commented: “Normal Jack Grealish leg after every match.”Spine-chilling footage shows ‘GHOST’ running through stands at football match as fans fear curse on their clubBeere then took on fans online who backed ref Elliott Mayer’s decision over the challenge.And asked if he would be a match official himself, the 29-year-old replied: “Wouldn’t want to be because I can play football.”Beere later clarified he was more annoyed by “the referee reaction after and being arrogant and in denial to me and coaching stuff”.One fan fired back at him: “Referees make mistakes and miss things or don’t act accordingly to a situation , possibly like you as a player ? Do you win every header ? Every tackle ? Take every chance in front of goal?”But he insisted: “We as players acknowledge our mistakes the refs don’t, their arrogance is crazy.”Ironically, Hornchurch’s 2-0 win had begun on a far more harmonious note – as Cray gave them a guard of honour for having already clinched the title.Some fans incredibly told Beere to wear ‘bigger shinpads’ More

    I was surprised Glenn Nyberg did not award Arsenal a penalty in real time at the end.
    Bayern Munich could have no complaints if it was given, they got away with one.

    Ruud Gullit questioned Erik ten Hag’s tactics back in 2019Credit: Ziggo SportThe manager appeared to be irritated by the questionsCredit: Ziggo SportTen Hag, 54, appeared on Ziggo Sport to analyse his Ajax side’s famous win over Real Madrid in the Champions League.In the clips, Premier League icon Ruud Gullit questions the manager’s tactics to have an open midfield against the LaLiga titans.Ten Hag seemed to get irritated by the question as Ajax won the fixture.Gullit claimed the system allows for too many risks and can concede “ridiculous counterattacks.”READ MORE ON MAN UTDHe insisted that there needs to be a player in the midfield thinking “what if” the ball is lost and suggests a Fernandinho type of player.Fernandinho starred for Manchester City and was considered one of the world’s best defensive midfielders during his prime.While Ten Hag conceded that without a man in midfield a team can get “killed”, he went on to defend his philosophy.He said: “How we want to play is the most difficult. When it is not going well you are extra vulnerable.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKER”But when it is going well, you are able to impose yourself on the opponents and entertain the fans.”Gullit replied saying that Barcelona were able to play the same with great success but because they had Sergio Busquets.Who could be Man Utd’s next manager after Ten Hag?Ten Hag hit back, by saying: “The criticism is always directed at the teams who make the play.”Whether it is Barcelona, who are vulnerable in transition, Manchester City, Bayern Munich…”That is the most difficult thing in football to have a plan to play with the football.”There are only a few teams that can do this.

Means we have to wait for the personnel to see it fully formed.”A second commented: “Ten Hag got away with this in the Champions League because of how good the attack was.”He won’t get away with this in the Premier League due to the physicality. If your style of play relies on elite technicians, then it’s a s*** style of play.”A third wrote: “If you’re gonna do this in the Prem then he needs to listen to Gullit.
