    Scholes: I have never been nasty. Empty Scholes: I have never been nasty.

    Post by CollieBuddz Wed Jun 15, 2011 10:23 am

    Paul Scholes has rejected the theory there was any malice behind his infamous tackling technique.

    The recently-retired Manchester United midfielder is widely acknowledged
    to be one of the best players of his generation. Zinedine Zidane, Xavi
    and Edgar Davids are among those who have claimed Scholes was the
    English player they would have most liked to star alongside.

    However, along with the huge talent that propelled him to 10 Premier
    League titles and a Champions League triumph in 1999 came occasional
    haphazard challenges that bordered on the reckless.

    Although overall, he was hugely complimentary, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claimed Scholes had a ''dark side''.

    And following the final red card of his career, for a thigh-high
    challenge on Pablo Zabaleta in United's FA Cup semi-final defeat to
    Manchester City at Wembley in April, even Sir Alex Ferguson admitted
    ''the red mist sometimes descends'' on the 36-year-old.

    Yet Scholes, whose 90 yellow cards make him the third most booked player
    in Premier League history, feels his reputation is unwarranted.

    ''I have just been unlucky,'' he said. ''I never had red mist against
    anybody. The one against Zabaleta, I didn't do on purpose. It was just
    bad timing. The ball was up there and the way your leg goes it has to
    come down and unfortunately it came down on his leg.

    ''I would never intentionally try to hurt somebody. Nobody has ever had
    to go off following one of my tackles and nobody has broken their leg. I
    have never been nasty.''

    Scholes has also explain his reasons, pointing out that it was his body,
    rather than frustration at being used so sparingly, that led to his
    decision.

    ''I knew it was the right time to happen,'' he said. ''You can't go on
    forever. It's all done now and I am looking towards the future. There
    wasn't one moment in particular. There were a few games later in the
    season where I didn't feel great, and in training as well. In general it
    was the way I felt.

    ''Nobody wants to play a bit-part, but I'd realised that at this stage
    of my career and where I was physically, it was the right way to use me.
    But, it wasn't the odd game, I was only actually feeling good when I
    was coming on for the last 15 or 20 minutes at the end of matches, which
    wasn't right.''

    Thoughts are he's a lying cunt. It's a shame that he retired through choice, wish someone ended his career for him.

    Don't think he has a 'dark side' he just makes rash decisions when he gets tired later in the game.

    That doesn't warrant Arsene saying he has a dark side though, everyone makes mistakes. You would think by that comment he's up there with the likes of Joey Barton.

    Let's get a bunch of pictures of mistimed tackles and say Scholes is a fucking disgrace. Rolling Eyes

    Posting 4 pictures of Scholes making bad challenges, people who have a clue about football don't need to see 4 pictures, I'm sure they're best off judging him on what they've actually seen.

    Sorry but to say that is just mistimed is nonsense. It's a sickening challenge that he committed on a weekly basis.

    I don't think Scholes does it on purpose. He just sucks at timing his tackles.

    That was bad, fair enough, but I still do not think he intentionally intends to hurt people, he makes mistakes get over it.
