Don't think it was intentional, especially since Shawcross left the field in tears after seeing Ramsey's leg..still horrible for a young player like Ramsey.

They just showed a close up from a different angle and it looked like Ramsey's foot was planted wrong, on his ankle, even before a contact was made.
So how much of the injury was due to the tackle is debatable.

I hope he fully recovers though, he is only 19.

man football can be such a bitch! I don't think that was intentional but still, players should have a duty of care.

speaking from experience its the studs that make it a nightmare to go for challenge!

I believe if football boot manufacturers made the studs from a softer material, preferably rubber like material you would see less impact and damage from such collisions. I don't think its necessary for stud to be that hard.

I'm telling you most injuries are due to the impact the studs make on the knees/foot, its nasty!
