Spider Jerusalem Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Disgusting tackle. He could have been killed! Of course he couldn't, a ball wasn't kicked at him. I'm surprised that we've any footballs left in the country as they are surely the weapon on mass destruction of choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Still cant see where the injury came from but I pray he's ok because we really, really need him. It came from a lesbian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluegeordie Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Tragically, I think that the most likely scenario is a fractured or broken tibia. See here for some miserable viewing and reading: http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00522 Executive summary - he could be out for 4 to 6 months. On the other hand, he could have done a toenail, and be back for the Arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Thought it was his knee myself. Looked like it popped. Hopefully not though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I desperately hope to be proven wrong here, but I thought the ankle twist was the result of Valencia's studs making contact with Anita's tibia. A definite yellow as I saw it.

I thought it was a red thb, Valencia was nowhere near the ball and had his studs showing off the ground. I suppose it could be about angles but looked red to me.

Guest bluegeordie Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Tibia? Ankle? Knee? Any other bidders? We'll just have to wait and see, and hope that the final diagnosis is "only" a bad dream, instead of the absolute nightmare it could turn out to be .

Guest bluegeordie Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Perhaps a borderline yellow / red? That is, yellow if the foul was committed by one of our players, and red if it was by one of their's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Never a straight red in a million years imo, but a clear yellow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Pardew said they haven't scanned it, but he might be out of saturday. Doesn't sound too serious tbh, just wish it wasn't our best midfield player out against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Never a straight red in a million years imo, but a clear yellow.

Doesn't sound too serious tbh, just wish it wasn't our best midfield player out against Arsenal. The fact he says 'might' be out for Saturday should be enough to believe it won't be a 4-6 month job at the very least scan or no scan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Good news. Of course, that's until a scan reveals his ankle has disappeared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I may have been too hasty with my doomsday diagnosis. I put it down to all those years watching Kieron Dyer break his neck due to an unexpected gust of wind at St James's ... typically, during the warm-up. But seriously, I'll remain nervous until the scan results come back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The fact he says 'might' be out for Saturday should be enough to believe it won't be a 4-6 month job at the very least scan or no scan. Is that because all of our players either come back on time or early? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tyson Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Looked like it was an ankle, and when you roll one the lateral ligament is the one which is buggered Hopefully there are no other complications, and it's just a grade 1 strain (a couple of weeks out) Grade 2 tear, it's 4-6 weeks. I had a lateral tear which a specialist categorised as a 2 and a1/2 on the scale of 1-3 they use- it nearly went all the way through, so i missed the full six weeks And it took a little while to trust the joint again, when pivoting off it/changing direction.

Tsunami Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 It was a clear yellow and easily could have been red. The look on Valencia's face suggested to me that he knew it was a bad challenge. Valencia has been on the wrong end before which made the challenge a but worse for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I done mine when i was very young and was out for nearly 6 months, mind you we don't get operations to sort them out i suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
