Shawcross’ thoughts on Ramsey collision

Stoke City midfielder Ryan Shawcross, the player whose tackle broke the leg of Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey, has revealed what went through his mind in the moments after the sickening collision. "I turned around and straight away I could see it was serious,” said Shawcross on Sunday. "I wasn't even bothered about getting a red card, I was just so sorry for what I'd caused. That's why I was so emotional." Shawcross has however vowed not to change his approach to the game. He added: "I'm a tough tackling defender and sometimes if you're a tiny bit out it can cause bad injuries - it's the risk you take when you play football. I'd obviously caused an horrific injury to someone and although I knew it was an accident, I'd still done it. It was just unfortunate he had his studs planted. I mistimed the tackle and caught."
