Holloway defends Adam
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway defended Charlie Adam for his role in the incident that led to Gareth Bale being stretchered off in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
The Wales international went down clutching his left ankle after being sandwiched by Keith Southern and Adam, before subsequently being stretchered off but Holloway insists Adams would never have intentionally hurt the star.
The former QPR manager also hit at out former England manager Kevin Keegan who, in his role as ESPN pundit commenting on the match, claimed that the midfielder looked to have meant to injure Bale.
"He (Adam) almost came here so why would he want to hurt anybody?" Holloway said. "He hasn't got it in him. At this level, the game is so quick.
"Charlie tried to get there and it was genuine so I'm disappointed that Kevin says that.
"He is entitled to his own opinion but I totally disagree with it."
