For more go to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21967289Wigan boss Roberto Martinez says Callum McManaman has "unfairly suffered" in the aftermath of his challenge on Newcastle's Massadio Haidara.
The 21-year-old's knee-high tackle on the Magpies defender during Wigan's 2-1 victory on 17 March went unpunished and led to outrage.Haidara suffered bone bruising and soft tissue damage in his left leg."We've been talking too much about it and it's a bit unfair on a young man to have to suffer that," said Martinez."I think we're taking things out of context here. The whole incident has been a bit of an argument about the refereeing in the game. It was a challenge with no real intent. It was an unfortunate incident that happens on a football pitch."......
What do you all think of this?
I think the challenge he did on Haidara is compeltely out of order and he should definately recieve a ban. After all if Nani's challenge was enough for a ban; McManaman should be jail. Haha
