Tyrone Mings' temperament is unbalanced and his hollow apology to Nelson Oliveira is even worse … nothing surprising that Eddie Howe loaned it on loan

It is said that when you are on the ground, it is when people kick you.

My former Reading team is currently experiencing a difficult time. Since the beginning of the season, they have trouble getting points in the Championship. Saturday, they almost lost their striker, Nelson Oliveira, from the face of Villa Villa defender Tyrone Mings.

Even more surprising, the hollow excuses via social media that followed were preceded by the addition of how proud Mings was to wear Aston Villa's light blue and blue.

Mings is the same player who hit the head of Zlatan Ibrahimovic while playing for Bournemouth against Manchester United.

This time, he disfigured Oliveira's face.

Oliveira was extremely lucky not to lose an eye during the incident. His broken nose and deep cuts are for many a strong indication that a player has fallen on his opponent.

Whatever Mings did or did not want to do, if you have not yet seen the picture of Oliveira's face taken in the locker room shortly after the stamp, take a look, but be warned, This is not beautiful.

No wonder Eddie Howe loaned the 25-year-old defenseman. His temperament is out of step with how Bournemouth conducts his field activities, which may explain why Mings played only 20 games with the Cherries in four years, despite a big bang. from Ipswich.

Some people in the game who saw the incident sent a text message to ask me if the players can be sued for incidents on the ground.

The short answer is yes – if a player can show that he has been negligent.

Oliveira's facial injuries have, I suppose, transformed life to some extent. OK, he has his mobility and can still play, but for the rest of his life, every time he looks at himself in the mirror, he will be reminded of this stamp and, mentally, it is a horrible place.

Reading's subsequent publication on social media on Monday night was short and relevant. The club seems to believe that his attacker is the victim of a ridiculous loophole in the laws of the game.

Their post said: "As a club, we have ensured that the referee and the FA are fully aware of an incident that occurred during Saturday's game that would have injured our forward, Nelson Oliveira.

"But as the incident was seen by the referee at the time, we understand that no retrospective action can or will be undertaken by the FA."

This is the second Mings stamp. After hitting the head of Ibrahimovic, he was punished with a five-game ban. Admittedly, a full investigation and, if found guilty, a stamp ban striking Oliveira from ten matches should have been the minimum penalty this time.

However, as the referee saw the incident, the FA can act for fear of undermining any of theirs. And yet, we now have value-added resellers precisely because arbitrators make wrong decisions, whether they have seen them or not. It goes without saying that if the referees are mistaken, they can also be mistaken for stamps.

I have never feared playing against tough opponents during my career.

Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, John Terry and Sol Campbell, to name just a few, were all physically strong and aggressive by the time they were to be. But it was also largely fair men who knew that the line of demarcation was not in the center of the adversary's face.

Hopefully Oliveira will recover from his terrible injuries very soon and will score goals that will help my old club stay awake because I love coming back to watch Reading.

But as in any club, it's always a much better experience when the team is doing well and the fans are happy.

At the end of March, I was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame, largely for our 2005/06 season, during which we beat almost every Championship benchmark.

We won the league with an incredible record of 106 points and, as far as I can remember, we did it without having to score the face of one person.
