Fleetwood Players Endangered Dowmans Life! (TY) | Fleetwood 1-1 (5-3) Arsenal

Hi, welcome to AFTV. I've got Ty with me. We've just been knocked out of the League Cup in the fourth round by Fleetwood Town. Stand outside of Highbury Stadium, Ty. You actually sat kind of near me. Yeah, you was at the front. At the front, yeah. And I mean, watching today, we left together. Fans were annoyed. They were upset. They're frustrated. And rightly so. It's a long way to travel. We've been travelling all day to see our team get knocked out in the fourth round. It does, there must be a sense of shame, embarrassment, pain. Black Lives Matter. I want to say thank you to the NHS, to all the volunteers, to the care workers, to surgeons, doctors, nurses, everyone making it better in these times. And I want to say no to racism, no to war, like Robbie says, no to misogyny, no to homophobia, no to any discrimination of any kind. so first of all yeah i i have to say first of all and also also also i did hear a hop i did hear there was a there was a Fleetwood fan James something who passed away i don't know he's James something so may may his soul rest in peace and hearts and thoughts and go out to his family now what i want to say first of all i'll bring up three names because i'm just going to get straight to it i'll bring up concentrate three names three names and i'll speak to i'll speak to you um Cecil Aaron Ramsey Eduardo Vasily Kavidiyavi now what do they all have in common legs broken by who by the opposition ok so Max now listen you can criticise Max but Max is 16 he's seen that he's going to wait for his leg to be broken the challenges that they were doing were absolutely disgraceful this is disgusting this is disgusting that is for the ref to manage and keep control it is but the ref is not doing his job So now, what we have is a situation where players again endanger other players' careers. I'll talk about Aaron. Aaron nearly had his leg amputated. Eduardo nearly had his leg amputated. And Vasily's career is over. So what is Max supposed to do? What is he supposed to do? It's disgusting and it's not good enough. It's not right, but when you come to grounds like this, to teams like this, it's going to be physical. and that's fine but I expect players to not endanger other players yeah that's fair Max is 16 he does not want to get his leg broken like happened to Aaron Eduardo and Vas now you can say Max is wrong but Max is trying to defend himself the referee did not do his job and it is scandalous it's disgraceful and I'm disgusted and I'm disgusted that we've come here to face this Fleetwood Town should be ashamed of themselves because that's that's tackles endangering our players careers was it right for him to react listen you can say is you you you can say as well i won't say as well i'm saying he's defending himself he's defending himself because when cole palmer did it i didn't hear anyone and i'm not i'm not i'm not defending cole palmer ever going when cole palmer did it i didn't hear anyone having to go ahead you know so so you think it was so max will defend himself even though the challenges were bad the referee wasn't great why didn't he do his job he's mucked up again and this is disgraceful what is going on what is going on what are we supposed to do when what are our young players Max is 16 he's not 26 what is he supposed to do he's playing men's football he is playing men's football your sentiment is right though it definitely is it is because the challenge was ridiculous it was awful but the referee didn't do his job but the people will be saying there's bad referees and officiating you've been here for years I've seen you Complaining about referees officiating For years and years and years But the actual result Is not just on the ref today No, but we should have won the game anyway Should we have? Of course we should We had all the chances But I think that going down to 10 men Wasted our time a bit I won't understand And the thing is now I keep on saying it We've won the league brilliant I want the referees to sit down with Mikel I want it personally Mikel with Kim with under 21's captain I think that's Miley and I want to know what is going on with challenges because like I said Max could have got his leg broken tonight so how far is he going to go how far is somebody else going to have their leg broken before the referees stand up and do their job because I'm disgusted why did we lose tonight we didn't put our chance to win I think we should have won on penalties but like I said I'm worried now going forward because if Fleetwood Town can get away with tackles like that on our players and Max gets sent off what are the next team going to do? He did react you're acting like he didn't and I'm not justifying it I'm pretty much on your side I think it's soft I've seen it back it's not like a massive kick but you know you can't react regardless so it's hard because he could have got his leg broken but you can't eradicate you can't just eradicate that small part where he does react to it and I'm not eradicating that but I'm not going to dismiss Max because I've seen like I said I'm sorry no thank you Cecil because like I said I'll say it again Aaron Eduardo Vass all got their legs broken thank you
