Stoke City fans criticised over nasty Aaron Ramsey chant

Poor taste

Stoke City fans have come under fire after making fun of an old Aaron Ramsey injury during Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Arsenal.

The Welshman spent over 10 months sidelined after Ryan Shawcross broke his leg back in 2010, and Potters fans decided this would be a good memory to bring up when Arsenal arrived at the Britannia Stadium.

Ramsey suffered a double leg fracture thanks to the challenge, but it seems that Stoke fans still hold a grudge against him for how he treated Shawcross after the incident.

The defedner tried to apologise to Ramsey with a letter but the Arsenal midfielder has reportedly refused to speak to Shawcross since the foul.

As some form of retaliation, Stoke fans roared a new chant aimed at Ramsey during the Premier League clash on Sunday. “He walks with a limp” has not been received well by the football community, as you can imagine.
