eduardo broken his leg

speccy_spur · Feb 23, 2008

Agree Taylor will be attacked by the gooner wankfest media. Although since the 'dark lord' Dein was pushed out of the FA board, he should escape a banning.
No player deserves broken leg. I am sure there are a number of us on this forum who have played in games where it has happened to a teammate. I had one trip to hospital in the back of an ambulance with one (initially) screaming pal that will forever stay with me. Hope Eduardo recovers ok.

Further to the hockey incident - the player has now been stitched up and did a press conference the other day. Apparently when being helped off he asked the team doctor, who was holding the artery closed through the hole in his neck with his fingers, "Could you not squeeze my neck so hard?". To which the doc replied "No".

Classy.:roll:

That's a seriously awful injury. I wouldn't want to see it happen to any player, and there are players that I like far less than Eduardo.

Wenger being more of a tosser than usual in the interview. Obviously everyone should be hoping the lad makes a full recovery, you're a tosser if you think otherwise, I don't care if it is your 'opinion'.

But for Wenger to say Taylor should never play football again is a joke. Didn't think the tackle was really that bad, definitely not a 2 footed one.

Well, yeah, not everyone watches Faces of Death for fun. :-|

For fun? :lol:

When I actually said...

...some are fairly grim, some make you wince, some make you want to hide and switch off. Personally speaking, I'm finding them extremely thought-provoking...

No mention of having fun there was there? I neither implied or stated that I found it fun.

Haven't heard the interviews but the tackle wasn't bad. Eduardo was just unfortunate. If Wenger is saying that then that is disgusting. Taylor wasn't trying to injure the player.

He [Wenger] added: "I've seen some bad ones but they're not always punished with broken legs. You only need to kill one person one time. You cannot accept that on a football pitch.

Does anyone actually like Wenger...

It's a shame for him, but I don't really care.

I concur. Why would I actually care about him? I fucking hate Arsenal players with a passion - I'm hardly celebrating the injury, but I'm not exactly going to give a shit either. Just a shame it couldn't have happened to some of their other players... or manager.

Then you have a peculiar idea of what constitutes fun

I certainly do. At least i don't get my jollies off on watching people die, though. You hate correct presumptions. :wink:

Occasionally I need to read a thread like this to remind me how young and scarily immature some of the people on this forum are. The comments that this horrible injury is a 'good' thing because he plays for a club you don't like are very sad.

Am I the only one who thinks it's not that bad? Obviously feel for the kid, but there have been much, much worse things than someone breaking a leg broadcast, come to think if it much worse leg breaks. Perhaps though I have just become desensitized to things like that.

It's pretty bad, Carl.. The lad's ankle has snapped and the bone has gone through the skin. To me an injury that is "not that bad" might force a substitution and maybe keep the player out or training for a couple of weeks. Of course worse things have been broadcast, but I don't see it as a contest. I've seen worse injuries on the field, and not so long ago I witnessed a horrific fatal traffic accident at pretty close quarters. Despite this I still think Eduardo has suffered a very bad injury.

Eduaro's injury is not that bad.

My mate had a horse fall on his leg, it had more bends in it than the Monte Carlo rally. Still I had a full on convo with him while we waited for the medics and he was laughing about it with me. The pain only really kicked in when they straightened it to place him on the ambulance trolley.

He was 13 at the time.

I've had my leg broken more than 7 times. Bones heal. In fact jagged breaks heal better than clean breaks. It's nothing serious. Eduardo's issue will be with the tissue damage. Or if the bone heals with a haematoma (spelling)

Maybe, I just don't think it's all that bad.

Sid Eudy broke his leg much worse in 2001 and went bad into wrestling, had no problems walking and so on and so on.

A lot of the time they LOOK worse than they actually are I think.

I completely agree. :rofl:

I've just seen the tackle and yes it's a horrible injury and yes it's a bad tackle but I think 50% of the time Taylor wouldn't get sent off for that.

For Wenger to say the lad should never play football again is ridiculous when you think of what some of his players have done in the past.

If that's the benchmark of whether players should be allowed to play again or not then Henry, Vieira, Eboue and many more would never be allowed to play.
