Fans Stoke City kebanjiran kritik di media sosial. Hal itu terjadi lantaran cemoohan yang mereka lontarkan kepada gelandang Arsenal, Aaron Ramsey.
Suporter The Potters melancarkan cemooohan ketika Stoke bermain imbang tanpa gol melawan The Gunners di Stadion Britannia, Minggu (17/1/2016). Setiap Ramsey menyentuh bola, mereka selalu meneriakkan, "Ramsey berjalan dengan kaki pincang!".
Sorakan tersebut mengacu pada kejadian 2010. Saat itu, di stadion yang sama, Ramsey mengalami patah kaki setelah mendapat tekel keras dari Ryan Shawcross dalam laga kontra Stoke.
Alhasil, para tokoh sepak bola mengecam aksi fans Stoke. Bahkan, salah satu mantan bintang Southampton, Matt Le Tissier, ikut melontarkan kritik.
Sounds like Stoke fans had their brains broken same day as Shawcross decimated Ramsey's leg. #SFCvAFC

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 17, 2016 I like Stoke, I like the football they play, I like Mark Hughes but I find the booing of Ramsey both incomprehensible and sickening.
— Oliver Holt (@OllieHolt22) January 17, 2016 Why is Aaron Ramsey getting booed??? Do the Stoke fans think he was faking that broken leg? I'm confused!!
