Lenny Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 When he first came wasn't his poor form down to it being Ramadan at the time? Scored two hat-tricks not long after Ramadan had finished iirc Yep, he wasn't poor long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Totally right Joeyt. I do not remember him being awful like. I do remember him getting some undue stick, which i thought was bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Just snapped like a twig. Seems like everything just aligned in a one in a million shot for it to just snap like that. Horrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Can't watch that more than once! It's amazing how the body can heal itself with the help of how advanced hospitals are now to be able to run on that leg again. My favourite memory of him is the goal he got against manure in the 3-0 and he's best striker we have had in the last 12 years. Hope he makes a full recovery!

Scored two hat-tricks not long after Ramadan had finished iirc Cajun was proud as punch when he emphatically silenced his naysayers post-Ramadan. Fantastic player. Hope he gets better soon.

Ronaldo Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Find it difficult to have too much sympathy for a player who left us in a relegation struggle to go and sit on Chelsea's bench, like. Hell of a player, obviously. You could put Ba in a Conference side up against Barcelona and he'd find a way to get on the scoresheet. He should've had a better career in truth.

cp40 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 How would they even go about the process of repairing that? internal and possibly external metalwork- the healing pain after that is absolutely unbearable- like ouyr leg is being crushed in a massive vice.

Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 What would it be like short term as in tonight and next day or two? Just unbearable pain or just morphined up to the eyeballs while they decide how to operate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Be a bit wary next time I play after just watching that can't imagine what it would be like for anyone who has gone through it then gets back on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I imagine the psychological barrier after recovering would be just as difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just unbearable pain or just morphined up to the eyeballs while they decide how to operate? possibly- may have to wait for some swelling to reduce before they will operate, doubt they will be letting him feel anything now- but post op when they wean him off the morphine- knack.

TRon Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 We used to joke about his knee exploding and now this. I'll always remember him with fondness of his time here because quite simply, he was the best striker we had here since Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Fuck me, that's rank. As much as I slagged him for seeming to want a move the moment he walked through the door I feel sorry for him and wish him well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same injury; well it looked the same, at least. Oddly enough, it was the look of it which immediately was the most traumatising part and now looking looking back upon it is the part which still produces a strong visceral reaction, pure disgust: seeing your leg flopping around, at a right angle, is just not right. I'll skim over the 10 months in the middle. Plate on fibula, external fixator on tibia; immobile for three months, no joy. Plate off fibula, ex-fix off, bone graft and Ilizarov frame (...think half a dozen knitting needles through your leg and a bolt screwed into your tibia all meccano-ed up to three 12 inch diameter metal hula hoops). Demba will get the best advice and will have good healing potential: healthy bone and still comfortably the right side of 40. Hopefully for him the breaks aren't as messy as they look, and as mine were. Main problem for me (well once there was evidence of growth...some helpful fuckwit surgeon did warn me, 6 months in, to get used to the idea that it may not heal and amputation would be a solution--where do they find these people?) was an unseen hairline fracture down into the ankle joint, which was made worse/re-broken through rehab physio for the tib/fib break (going hell for leather on the fecking trampolines...). Fingers crossed for the lad; point taken re 'a just world', but personally, I wouldn't wish the uncertainty, immobility, and pain on anyone. Well, tbh, maybe Dennis Wise... ok, and a few others. But not Demba Ba. Hope he recovers; and plays again (I haven't). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
