Martin Skrtel elbow on Jonny Williams sparks widespread WWE shanter as Rio Ferdinand weighs in

Posted by

We love Martin Skrtel and, while we will miss him when he’s goes (probably later this summer) we can’t pretend that he’s without his faults.

Let’s just say that we wouldn’t like to play against the Slovakian skipper.

Skrtel is hard as nails, which is great, but sometimes he crosses the line.

It’s fair to say that he was VERY lucky to not concede a penalty for this elbow-led foul on Wales midfielder Jonny Williams.

One could even argue that he could have been sent off. Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, who now works as a pundit for whoever will have him, compared the incident to something from the WWE.

And Ferdinand was not alone in his view, with literally hundreds of witnesses tweeting the same shanterous joke.

There were memes left, right and centre.
