    i assume that quote is from the bbc? They are being awful sensationaltist. I mean the video is there for all to see, even with the poor sky angle we can see theres no "flying through the air". It looks like a clumsy tackle from what I've seen so far. Theres no need for the BBC to be criminalising Taylor.

    +1. Platt said it didn't even look a booking at half time.

    Fu'kin hell, I hope it's not a compound fracture.

    It almost certainly is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Those two other pictures are horrible. BBC are being sensationalist by saying Taylor was "flying through the air" but to say it's not a booking is equally as ridiculous.

    What the hell was Taylor thinking?

    I think he was just tackliung. It was just that he ended up catching Eduardo's ankle, but his foot was planted in the ground so there was no where for his leg to go.

    he wasnt....that was a clumsy rediculous takle and you hate to see that in todays game! (not saying it was intentional, it was clumsy)

    Thats the kind of tackle that'll make you more than a little nervous before going to play football yourself this evening ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,980 ✭✭✭Kevster


    It's Eduardo's birthday on Monday too, two days before mine; and we were born in the same year too. Poor guy.

    It won't be the last kind of tackle we see this year, I'm sure. I mean, just think of all the high challennges that we have seen so far. Am I wrong in saying that high challenges have occured more this season than any other recent season?

    just dont wanna click on those photos...reminds of a game last year, a senior game i was playing in. we had this 15 year old playing, it was a friendly and he just wanted to play for fun. last minute, an older, much stronger player tackled him and his leg snapped in 2. it was the most frightening thing i have seen on a soccer pitch. heres hoping eduardo makes a speedy recovery. i see wenger has said that taylor should not be allowed to play soccer again.

    As usual though, Wenger needs to do less talking. Pity his opinions never stretch as far as his own players.

    you can see where hes coming from tho

    shocking tackle

    *note: not a pic of the injury, just the tackle before the leg broke

    thats a disgraceful tackle. its sickening and taylor should get months for that. for once, i agree with wenger, he is totally right. that picture is shocking and makes me very angry, i can only imagine how arsenal players and indeed fans feel about that.

    the rules about abusing players here are preventing me from calling taylor the names he deseves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Oh, so Wenger actually decides he's seen an incident now? Surprise, surprise.

    You can't judge a tackle by a still photograph, thats ridiculous. The tackle honestly wasn't that bad when you compare it to some that happen week-in, week-out. It was a very poor challenge but to call for him to be banned from football? Ridiculous. It was unfortunate, but not malicious. I'd agree with Platt to an extent, in saying that the referee gave the red card based on the extent of the injury, rather than the tackle itself.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,392 ✭✭✭d22ontour


    If anything that video shows it to be miss-timed.Wenger should be brought up on a disrepute charge for his comments imo.Hopefully Eduardo makes a full recovery.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    nobody likes to see this kind of stuff happen, its horrible for everyone who loves football. but i wouldnt demonise taylor for this, he made a clumsy tackle, lots of players do it, eduardos foot was planted and had nowhere to go, its a terrible accident but ive seen worse tackles in football and from memory, taylor hasnt done anything like this before.

    it looks like a terrible mistake/accident, i urge people not to be so quick to condemn people.

    im not saying i condone it of course, but i feel if it hadnt resulted in such a horrific injury it would have only been a yellow card

    Too late, the "banned for life" brigade are already out.

    and Rafa would be any different. It really bugs me the way Wenger seems to get constantly attacked for seeing certain incidents and not others, every manager is the same, having looked at it again, it was reckless imo.

    It was reckless, it'd be hard to argue that it wasn't. But Wenger, like Mourinho before him with the Stephen Hunt incident, is blowing things completely out of the water. Definite disrepute charge needed.

    and what about Saint Alex,do he still have his dossier from the Emirates, funny didn't mention anything about the disgraceful abuse Wenger received from utd fans


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    Honestly, there are worse tackles in other games, but thats not condoning it. It was a silly over zealous lunge. Those pictures are disgusting. 2 years ago I dislocated and broke my ankle, broke and fractured my leg all at the same time, so I can somewhat understand the pain Eduardo is feeling physically, though his injury makes mine look like a flesh wound.

    Speedy recovery and all that.

    I also feel sorry for Taylor. He will have nightmares about that for a long time to come.

    he seems pretty impressed with himself there

    Don't like to see that kind of thing happen in sport. Real big shame. Hope he can come back from this.

    I feel Wenger's reaction is OTT although understandable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,555 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    I'm sorry, but a lot of the same Arsenal fans calling for Taylor's ban, were lording it over the "flamster's" potentially leg breaking tackle on Nani last week.

    Hopefully Eduardo makes a full recovery, the way the foot dangles in that french commentary video was awful. *luckily* they got to him quickly, and he was untouched until the physio got to him (i.e. it wasn't a pile up of people).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭BFassassin


    IMO the stills with johnson mid air look like he was running 20 yards to get to Eduardo but the video shows that it was just a badly timed clumsy challenge. If Eduardo's foot wasnt planted to the ground then it would just have been a yellow card and sore in the morning.
    Unfortunately that was not the case and he ended up with a very nasty injury.
    Hopefully this will not end his career like some people are saying.

    And every other premiership manager would react the same.

    and this guy looks like a pervert

    http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k187/iam_XeRo/HBCandyGrap.png

    i'm pretty sure i seen taylor scratch his arse aswell on his way off the pitch, maybe he was trying to tell eduardo to kiss his ass? what ya reckon?...since we're making sh!t up like?

    i'm sure taylor will have a hard enough time at the minute, i know i was shocked when i seen it was a red card to begin with, eduardo was just a step ahead of him when he moved the ball. its not like he stood on his chest like i dunno, ERIC CANTONA!!11!
