I remember back in the day when one of the colour supplements devoted its centre spread to a photo of George Best's legs the day after an average Saturday match - absolutely covered in bruises, gouges, scrapes...it was grim. And this happened to him pretty much every time he played.
Yes I realised that as I posted lolYour choice of username is... unfortunate
Fair enough. I have only watched it a couple of times and my impression is that he was continuing his natural stride and had no idea where Giroud was. More detailed viewing may convince me that there's more to it than that, which comes back to my original point about media scrutiny of incidents like this which as you say is "not a lot".
I hope he reads Cycle Chat and sees that you've generously weighed him at 13 stone. I'd imagine he'll be chuffed with that!
Just had a look and he actually is 13 stone. 
My impression is different. I never had the slightest doubt when watching it that he knew exactly what he was doing. Any normal person in a situation like that, aware that a man was grounded beneath them, would be consciously trying to avoid them on the way down. Adam didn't. He quite deliberately landed on someone else's leg. 'Horror tackle' is the usual tabloid twaddle. If he'd stamped down, yes. But it was, nevertheless, thuggery, pure & simple, and in my eye at least a yellow card would've been wrong. If it had been spotted, he should've been off. "There's no place for that on a football field," the pundits would've intoned. And they would've been right.Fair enough.
