Eduardo Broken leg lol

[DJ RE:HAB]

Well i never said ban him for life, but he should be banned for longer than 3 or 4 games a red gets you.

End of the day mate, no one can be sure except him whether there was any intent in it. As you stated it was high and it was late, a player with his future infront of him possibly may have his career and his whole life turned upside down.

Do you not think the punishment should be harsher to reflect the damage done by him. "flying in, high and late" resulting in eduardos injury...

Or do you think the 3 - 5 game match ban is sufficient punishment for giving eduardo compound fractures of tibula, fibula and shin...

Surely these injuries reflect the force of him flying in, high and late... They dont happen often which opens my eyes to how bad challange this was...

Eduardos out for @ least a year, possibly forever id suggest a minimum of a 6 month ban to reflect the damage he has done. After all its the minimum a court would be able to hand down such did a incident take place like this off the field, and also as a benchmark.

As others have said in earlier posts, theres been worse challanges, maybe so, but just because no one was injured doesnt make it ok. A benchmark an example may stop the lunges, late, high tackles or @ least look like the PL are doing something about the amount of bad challenges every weekend.

You say about football not being a contact sport, yes your right it should remain contact, but when you see a players foot being held in place by the sock around it, do you just let that go and say well its a contact sport "s8it happens" or do you address the problem in the hope it may not happen again.

Further to this i am right in thinking there was a high profile rugby challenge which ended with the attacker being taken to court for his actions???

to be fair, that probably involved some kind of penetration though.

[xes]

Sorry,wasn't saying that you were calling for the lifetime ban,that was a general comment to anyone who'll listen :lol: Um,I honestly don't know if he "deserves" a longer ban,after all,if it was accidental,then that's all it is. An accident. Yes,it was a bad one. I can't remember,what did Keano get for his deliberate stomp on haaland?

No idea about the rugby,don't follow it.

The rugby incident if it was the same one was for a high tackle by Phil Greening on a French player, he caught him in the throat. The player was sueing him for hospital costs and loss of earning if i remember rightly.

Eduardo will still get his 60k a week and have all the best treatment paid for and will probably be back playing inside a year with todays treatment. Cisse and Larsson have both had minging leg breaks and both made recoverys.

[Insomnia]

9 months they reckon and he'll be back...

Just in time for the world cup qualifier againt England apparently...

[davemoore]

i must add if possible i would be more then willing to change the name of the title i put up as i have seen the challange now was not a nice sight .
9 months but he will lose alot of match fitness so prob be back in a year so maybe wont be playing against england but not too sure

I think it's bullshit saying it was late, or Eduardo was too quick, as if that makes it ok, are you saying if he'd taken the ball and the man he wouldn't have broken his leg? Should skillful players be forced to play at the speed of donkeys so they won't risk losing their foot, which was a possibility for such an injury.

There's no excuse for tackles like that, he pretty much mutilated him and could have done so permanently, so if there were any justice he'd get a ban comparable to Eduardo's lay off, otherwise where's the deterrent?

If Arsenal hadn't been so shell shocked they'd probably have rolled them over, so all they need to do is do that every game and if they only get a 3 match ban that'd be a maximum of 3 players suspended at any time which isn't going to affect them too much, especially if it's just donkeys like Taylor.

Tackles like that should be a red even if he takes the ball and not the man, take a more continental approach, otherwise donkeys will reign supreme while talented players face lengthy lay offs if not the end of their careers and possible amputations.

I think possibly the worst person in all this is Stephen Kelly trying to make out it wasn't even a red, Eduardo could have lost his foot and all he cares about is trying to excuse the actions of his team mate and act as if they're the ones who are hard done by after getting an undeserved point.

[french_og]

Obviously you have never played the game yourself to a decent level.

[Will]

You keep coming out with shit like that, what level have you played at then since you're so great?

[davemoore]

i think will could be right in some aspects i mean if you do have pace and you cant use it whats the point of playing !!! but on the other hand if you are going to run past people or go in for 50 50 challanges then you do have to face the consiqunces wich i do belive eduardo has said it was 50 50 and holds no grudge so fair play to him i have alot of respect to him after saying that !!

[Will]

Just because he's a big, magnaminous man doesn't necessarily mean Taylor shouldn't be held responsible, or wasn't in the wrong though.

[davemoore]

Taylor is responsible without a doubt but it was not a meaningfull challange no way ! like arsen wenger said they have a very pacey team and he is suprised nothing like this has happend before now ...

Im off to play footy in a min so im gunna stop talking about it lol

[Microdot]

I read something once that said that if diving is an illness that plagues the game, then reckless tackles are a cancer.
Always thought that put things in perspective quite well and this incident underlines that fact.

[Will]

Very true.

[Insomnia]

Fifa's Sepp Blatter has came out and said that Taylors tackle was an attack and that he should be banned from football..

Well i wouldn't agree with that...

[Microdot]

To be fair, Sepp Blatter is a reactionary twat.
