O come on we sit on the internet all day laughing at peoples misfortune all the time. So FO, when you sit there and try and be all holly than thou, cause it aint working.

Hope its not a career ender, he is a nice little player. Examples have to made otherwise horrific challenges like that will become more common. Cisse has broken his leg atleast 2 times that i can recall, hard to tell how it effected him because he was always quite bad but he still has serious gas.

I think it has more to do with the kind of break Cisse was clean bones just broken mucles ect all fine if Eduardo had the bone out of his leg it will mean the mucels and tendons ect are all torn apart and like bust means he might not even walk properly again let alone pay football

Do not assume just because you think its funny a guy had his leg broken and may never be able to play again we all do. If you do feel that way your a sad bastard and prolly the kind of fucker who sees a car crash and videos it on his mobile for youtube rather than helping.

Yeah that is what I fear after seeing more pictures. It looks like a career ender, similair to what happened to David Busst.

Lets all hope that isn't the case, he is a good player and it would be a loss to football to lose him.

The following video gives a clearer look at the challenge. When you look it it, first thought is "Thats not the worst tackle I seen". I have seen millions of worse tackles, alot from Arsenal, or especially from Eboue this season. Wasnt even a two footed tackle over the ball.

YouTube - Birmingham v Arsenal Eduardo injury Taylor Red Card (Min 3)

It was a bad tackle, yes, and more then worthy of the red card. This is why I been saying they needed to clamp down on all tackles early in the season, something was slow to do.

But in this above video it truelly shows how bad the break is. Just watched the first part a couple of times and couldnt help but cringe and had shivers. It clearly shows that while he rolling from the intial tumble, his foot is just flopping about, it would appear he absolutely shattered the area in the challenge, and be be lucky to be back ever, let alone before christmas

 

[leviathane]

man that actually makes me feel sick tbh :/

 

[soze]

I personally can not look at pics of broken legs ect they make me feel ill i have sat with a mate after he had his leg broken playing rugby but i can't look at pictures gona have to start giving this thread a miss now.

 

[Corran]

I watched that video 3 times, and aye felt sick about it.

1st watch - wanted to see the challenge and was a decent looking quality football so just watched the challenge with no focus.

2nd watch - See the actual tackle. Was focused on the defenders actions. Where his foot was, if was high/over ball. Where the ball was. And how Eduardo was running.
Wanted to actually compare this to alot of tackles this season, and game to conclusion it wasnt that bad.
When doing this though, even when focused on the defender I saw something odd with Eduardo movement when he fell.

3rd watch - focused on eduardo and his injury to actually see what I saw... after watching that I could not watch it again though...


I am actually hoping on highlights tonight they just show the far out shot of the challenge as opposed to any close up. I personally think it the right thing to do as they need to show the challenge and red card, but they dont need to focus on the highlight, just need to speak about it and not show it when pundits talk.

Yep, I even ask them to stop helping as they are spoiling my shots!

Ive seen countless bad injuries over the years playing rugby. Luckily or not, the worst ive done is my cruciate. The pain was unreal, but at least it didnt look nasty. The worst ive seen was a guy who bent the lower half of his leg the wrong way, basically his leg became detached from the knee down. What I find worst though, is not looking at the injury, its the persons reaction when they are injured. 9 times out of 10 they go into shock and the noise they make when they scream haunts you. But what can you do? You cant take the pain away or tell them it doesnt look that bad. I used to take my rugby top off and cover the injury so they cant see it and just hold their hands (not in a gay way mind!!!) and try and comfort them. But its not that easy at amateur level as you dont have an ambulance or medics with morphine waiting in the wings, you have to wait for an ambulance to turn up.

Bad luck, but at the end of the day he's a professional footballer and knows the risks. We don't see a thread everytime a soldier is shot

 

[Vladamir]

Heres it from a better angle (i say better, probably the wrong word to use ), looks quite similar to Cisse's breaks

YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement

 

[Corran]

I was disappointed to see it shown on MOTD in slow motion from the angle that showed everything. Didnt need to show it that graphic, but hey thats life. Was expected, and know doubt they know people would want to see it if they hadnt else where.

That said, I was slightly annoyed with wengers post match comments, though understood them, and I am glad that he has released a statement retracting some of his words. Credit to the guy, one week he just a wanker, the next week he actually does the right thing.

 

[Hawkwind]

v++ ftw watched it 10times lol

Fucking hilarious! Compound fracture in two places, possible career finishing tackle.

was different with cisse tho, he clearly didnt drink enought milk, first break on left leg he turned on the wing to cross it and got his studs caught as some 1 made minimal contact and it jsut snapped, second for france was on opposite leg identicle stlye, minimal contact studs caught clean snap




the boy needs calcium

 

[Wonk]

that's fucking sick. Eduardo and Hleb are by far the coolest players in PL.

 

[Riquel]

There will be no winners in this case even if Taylor is "brought to justice". I reckon the poor lad is creaming himself, feeling guilty about the tackle and not to mention all the bad press he is or will be recieving. Despite this, he has to be punished. Harsh, but no question about it, IMO the FA need to make an example of it as we can't afford this to happen again but then again these kind of tackles often can't be stopped.

They cant go too far though, or it will leave players scared of making tackles in case they mistime it and get punished for it with hefty bans.

Erm, he will get a 3 match ban and that is it... the tackle is not really that bad compared to alot of tackles you see in every match. It just a sloppy tackle that went in late.
The tackles they need to crack down on are ones that are made from peiple running 10yrds and diving in 2 footed. Eduardo merely outdone the player with pace, having drawn the tackle with a poor first touch.

The only reason this is being blown up this much is due to the injury. Would you be saying anything if this tackle just caused him to go down and win the freekick? This is the same tackle I see at least once in pretty much every game. More often then not it is conceeded against a pacey player with quick feet whom have a bad touch but recover quickly.

The guy be feeling shitty as is, but as said, cant punish him more then the usual, because if you do then there wont be a single player in the league as all be suspended

“It was a highly emotional afternoon and we were all shocked by the injury to Eduardo," he said. "On reflection, I feel that my comments about Martin Taylor were excessive. I said what I did immediately after the game, in the heat of the moment.”

On the tackle on Eduardo...
"The injury is the result of a very bad tackle. The first diagnosis we have of the injury is very, very bad. I would not like to go into medical details because I am not qualified enough but the first news is very bad. He is in hospital."

On it possibly ending his career...
"I don't know. I would not go as far as that but it does not look good."

Sunday: Eduardo has been moved to a London-based hospital after undergoing surgery at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham. Arsenal Football Club would like to thank everyone at Selly Oak Hospital for making Eduardo's stay as comfortable as possible.

Saturday: Eduardo underwent surgery in hospital on Saturday and is currently resting. The Croatian striker sustained a broken leg in the 2-2 draw with Birmingham earlier in the day.

I think its good he back tracked abit on Taylor there really is no way of knowing if he left his foot in on purpose but you would like to think accidental.

 

[Jarahl]

My god, that must put him out of his career for good surely?

 

[Golena]

That said, I was slightly annoyed with wengers post match comments

Well it must of been hard for him to comment given that he probably didn't see the incident in question. (he certainly appears to be conveniently looking the other direction everytime his own players do it!).

It's a horrible injury but I can't help feeling that the players in the premiership are very much bringing it about on themselves. You can't expect the referees to be able to clamp down on bad challenges if everytime someone sticks out a foot to tackle you then you drop to the floor like you've been shot.
In order to let people clamp down on the dangerous stuff then players have to stop faking injury every 30 seconds so the officals can actually see when someone's dived in a dangerous way. You can't send 15 players a game off, and at full speed it's very difficult to tell if someone with quick feet has actually been hacked at or is just looking for the free kick and yellow card.

The one thing they can do is get rid of the absurd, if you get a yellow it can't be reviewed after the game rule tho, so obviously dangerous stuff can be dealt with in retrospect.

Or just have a video ref like the proper sports...

Bad luck, but at the end of the day he's a professional footballer and knows the risks. We don't see a thread everytime a soldier is shot

Indeed. Quite funny how you people go all 'shocking', 'horrible', 'I hope he is ok', 'career over, I feel very sorry' when a footballplayer that probably has seen the 'best' of life gets injured.

While kids in starve to death every day in Africa, nobody gives a rats

Hey mother theresa, instead of spending your money on clothes, alcohol, computer games, whatever, send it to Africa instead

Quite so.

Hey mother theresa, instead of spending your money on clothes, alcohol, computer games, whatever, send it to Africa instead

There is a chinese saying that goes:

"If you give a fish to a man, he get food for a day. If you learn the man to fish, he gets food for life"

See my point?

I'm studying and I don't work. I don't buy alcohol. And everytime I travel to Colombia I always bring some of my old clothes that I don't use anymore so I can hand them out to people who needs it. I don't believe I'm old enough to travel to Africa and take part in long-term charity work either.

Anyways this belongs to another thread.

You go care about whoever you want

I still find it interesting seeing people go all emotional over a small injury in a pathetic game and cover your eyes for real fucking issues

Im a football fan that is a horrible injury so i feel sorry for him. And who says i close my eyes i just do not think i have any reason to feel guilty about people starving in Africa what dose it have to do with me and why do i have to care? So i ask why is it you care about people in africa but fail to show any compasion to a guy who may never play the sport he loves again?

Football is life. If it was a choice between Barca winning the champions league, or poverty in africa being eradicated, id choose a Barca win everytime as Africas problems dont interest me
