Optimistic Nut Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 had he not broken eduardo's leg, would he have received a red card? i don't think so like not defending him or anything, just think people calling for him to never play football again is so harsh, how many people on here have gone into a challenge and thought 's***, this could be bad' i certainly have http://www.4thegame.com/media/gallery/3379.jpg Sorry, but that's an awful tackle.

vicente_14 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Having read his interview you've got to admire the guy. He's got a great attitude and that is the outlook he will need to recover from the injury. I wish him all the best. In a situation like this the least Taylor could have done was at least contact him to wish him the best. Piss poor effort from Taylor really. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11670_3191398,00.html Skysports.com understands Birmingham defender Martin Taylor has visited and spoken to injured Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva. Taylor made the personal visit to Birmingham's Selly Oak Hospital to see Eduardo after being left distraught by the serious leg injury suffered by player. Eduardo suffered a horrific broken leg just two minutes into Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Birmingham at St Andrews on Saturday. The injury occurred after the Croatian was caught on the leg by a mistimed tackle by Taylor with the defender seeing red for the incident. The injury left Taylor visibly shaken as he left the pitch with Eduardo being stretchered off after receiving lengthy treatment on the pitch. Comments Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger launched a stinging attack on Taylor at his post-match press conference before later retracting his comments. It is understood Taylor sought out Wenger in the tunnel after the match to speak to the Frenchman and to find out about Eduardo's well-being. The former Blackburn defender tried to visit Eduardo at hospital on Saturday evening, but was unable to see the player as he was undergoing surgery. Taylor returned to the hospital on Sunday morning to see the player and is thought to have spoken to Eduardo to find out the full extent of his injury and pass on his best wishes for his recovery.

He should be suspended until Eduardo returns to fitness. Going by that picture, yes. It real time it was a fraction of a second late. Thought the straight red was harsh personally. And I've seen much worse tackles (intent-wise rather than result-wise) go unpunished . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 that def made me happy reading that. hearing about that injury and seeing the pics and reading all of the reactions, i was worried for him and felt absolutly terrible for him. For him, he's going to have a long, tough recovery and hopefully can be the player he was prior to the injury - its gong to be one helluva mountain to climb. But good luck to him...

TRon Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The fact that he didn't mean to break his leg hardly matters. I just find it depressing when a talented player gets his leg snapped in half because a clumsy defender has his studs in the air with a player flying at him.

Syrette Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Martin Petrov gets the same time out for an ankle tap tonight, as what Martin Taylor gets for that tackle... Work that one out. It wasn't intentional, these things happen in football, I've seen worse tackles already this season where both the tackled and the tackler were lucky no serious injury was caused. It was a stupid accident that wasn't premeditated and Taylor is already suffering due to the guilt he'll have inflicted on himself. If it was intentional, I'd actually want to see Taylor sent down for some time, never mind being banned from football. No idea how the likes of Roy Keane got away with it.

Mowen Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Martin Petrov gets the same time out for an ankle tap tonight, as what Martin Taylor gets for that tackle... Work that one out. Martin Petrov repeatedly intentionally broke the laws through use of flagrant and pathetic dissent. Martin Taylor accidentally mis-timed a challenge. What he did was no where near as bad as, for instance, what Ben Thatcher did last season, and even this season I recall Robert Huth following through on someone clearly looking to do some real damage, and only receiving a yellow.

Robster Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I saw the headline of the back page of the sun today where it had a picture of Martin Taylor, clearly just kicking a ball. However, they had obviously sent one of their scumbag photographers to go out and get a picture of him with his foot in the air. The headline was "Will this man never learn". The reporter and editor responsible for this shit should be left hanging from the nearest lampost. Fucking awful journalism Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
