Pata Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I think intent was to clear ball but momentum carried him into the planted leg. Not defending the result though, it was nasty. You don't clear a ball like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I think intent was to clear ball but momentum carried him into the planted leg. Not defending the result though, it was nasty. You don't clear a ball like that. Studs up, knee height, standard clearance technique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 You NEVER go for a ball in that manner not even from the side but front on like that even if he had won the ball the outcome was going to be the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Looked like he lunged for the ball to me but misjudged his velocity. Bit like a todler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 If he's having a scan today, that must mean nothing is broken. I know it could still be an horrifically serious injury, but that's at least a slight positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, I'm not a medical professional (unlike our manager, wink wink), so I don't know. I just thought players with broken bones are sent for an x-ray immediately.

I agree with this, don't think it was intentional. just a silly silly tackle, that unfortunately could have ended a very young players career.

Wilson Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Probably didn't intend to end his career, but if he thinks going in like that is going to lead to a clean challenge, he shouldn't be on a pitch to start with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Looked like he lunged for the ball to me but misjudged his velocity. Bit like a todler. There's no excuse for it what so ever. He went in with all he had because he's a hot headed thug. It was reckless and thoughtless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 There are some injuries where a clean bone fracture are actually preferable aren't there? A broken leg sounds the worst possible thing but I'm pretty sure ACL damage can fuck a player up worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A broken leg sounds the worst possible thing but I'm pretty sure ACL damage can f*** a player up worse. True, miniscus, ligament damage can be a lot more serious.

This, he went full force with his studs showing into a knee height challenge, if there was no malice in the tackle then he's still a fucking idiot.

As someone who has played football for 35 years and still do, and now ref also. I think i intent to call you a plank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A broken leg sounds the worst possible thing but I'm pretty sure ACL damage can f*** a player up worse. True, miniscus, ligament damage can be a lot more serious. Ligament injuries are more likely to re-occur, and often take longer to properly shake off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Can't help thinking his comments are to do with his bitterness with Ashley, surely he can't be that much of a cretin that he actually believes it. Just shows what an absolute joke of a club it is from their fans, players, manager and owner. Hope they get back to back relegations and disappear to where they belong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
