Midfield_General Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Jesus. Horrible news. Get well soon Dan. (FYI - there's nothing in that story that says it was the bouncers. People need to be careful what they say without substantiation.)
warsash saint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 awful thing to happen, but what was he doing out at 3am? Drowning his sorrows after realising he's lost his place in the team? wtf !!
The9 Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 I really hope this is a case of the Echo over-dramatising and he is not in as serious a condition as they suggest, if that is the case then horrible horrible news I think the phrase "potentially life threatening" implies they are not overstating the seriousness of the incident. You can add "serious head injuries" to that.
Toomer Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Awful thing to happen, but what was he doing out at 3am? Drowning his sorrows after realising he's lost his place in the team? That has nothing to do with it, no game for 9 days can't see the lad being drunk, there is to much of this sort of thing going on now, hope he makes a full recovery.
um pahars Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Scary stuff. Just driven up London Road on my way to Waitrose and saw all the tape and police milling around. First thoughts were some sort of robbery, but having seen this thread it's obvious it's related to this incident. Hope the lad pulls through OK.

People need to be careful what they say without substantiation.) I'm pretty sure there's been a rewrite since the earlier version which was when it was just "a man", as opposed to someone we're familiar with, which mentioned the bouncers.

saint.tom.clancy Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 F*ck me. Awful news, get well soon dan.
jjsaint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 ****in hell. What's the world coming to. Hope and pray he pulls through ok.
Huntingdon Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Best wishes to Dan, that's terrible news You would suggest a head injury of that magnitude will stop him from heading a ball for quite a while, so could be career threatening if not life threatening
Dimond Geezer Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Bloody hell, that's awful news. Best wishes to Dan for a full recovery. 9 Months ago, a mate of mine was thrown down some steps by bouncers. He still sufferes double vision, headaches & is unable to drive, the tragic thing is he was totally innocent & was just walking past a scuffle. Sadly I fear DS will not play again this season.
Wes Tender Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 My thoughts are with his family and I hope that he makes a complete recovery. As for the Echo scum and their totally insensitive reporting in the last couple of paragraphs, well, it really does beggar belief. They truly are the gutter press.
Sheaf Saint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 When the Echo reported on a friend of mine who was involved in a massive car accident on the M27 about three years ago, they used exactly the same wording - 'fighting for life' and 'serious head injuries'. They weren't being over-dramatic either. He was in a coma for two weeks, spent the next two months in hospital, has had all kinds of rehab treatment, and still to this day he is unable to return to work full-time and probably never will. I certainly hope that Dan Seaborne's condition is not as serious as my friend's was, but if it is then we should prepare for the eventuality that he will never play again. Best wishes and get well soon Dan. My sympathy is with your family and friends at this time.
Made in Southampton Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 That echo report says nothing about bouncers being involved.
so22saint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 It could easily be life threatening, my mum is on intensive care in Southampton at the moment and the bloke next to her is in a serious condition because he fell off a ladder trying to get into his own house as he'd locked himself out. Only fell a few feet and landed on his head. My old neighbour fell over and cracked his head on a curb stone and it was touch and go for about 3 weeks. *If* it is the bouncers, I hope it's on CCTV and the thick lunk goes down. Get well soon Dan
The9 Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 That echo report says nothing about bouncers being involved. It did before a rewrite which added the bit about police appealing for witnesses and the scene this morning.
Saint Garrett Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 solentsport BBC Radio Solent #Saintsfc defender Dan Seaborne now described as in "serious but stable" condition in hospital. Reports of an attack outside Junk nightclub Glad to hear it's not as bad as 'life threatening'
Made in Southampton Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 It did before a rewrite which added the bit about police appealing for witnesses and the scene this morning. Ah ok.
Saint-scooby Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 WTF I guess we should all wait for the facts before asking why ! Anyway get well soon Dan
The9 Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 I note Steve De Ridder's facebook page also has a link to the story now, so the players are aware.
Psycrow Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 The Echo report last two paragraphs are disgracefully insensitive and totally inappropriate. I've asked they be removed. Get back and well soon Dan. Wholeheartedly agree.
The9 Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Exeter City are aware... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/9230000.Former_club_s_best_wishes_for_assaulted_defender/ If that's not the Echo phoning for a quote I don't know what is.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Exeter City are aware... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/9230000.Former_club_s_best_wishes_for_assaulted_defender/ If that's not the Echo phoning for a quote I don't know what is. Truly awful journalism. Get well soon Dan.
Nexstar Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Terrible news, best of luck for a speedy recovery Dan.
Asaint4ever Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 This is shocking news! I really hope he gets better soon!
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 All the best for a speedy recovery Dan. Awful news.
lewpylew Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 My friend just text me about this - truly truly shocking. Hope he makes a speedy recovery : (
skintsaint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Update: Seaborne's condition has now been updated as "serious but stable" by staff at Southampton General Hospital.
Colinjb Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Jesus!!!! Hope Danny recovers quickly and those responsible are brought to justice.
farawaysaint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Disgusting! Wishing his family all the best and Dan as well
derry Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 This is terrible for the lad. Serious head injuries for a centre back could mean that his career is over. I just hope there is no brain damage and any bone damage eventually repairs and he can get back to playing in the fullness of time. May God be with you Dan.
S-Clarke Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Christ, just heard about this. Hope he makes a full recovery from this, but it sounds really bad. Hope they catch the scum that did it.
Midfield_General Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Echo have now removed the reference to 'an assault on the Championship' in the last paras. What sort of cretin sub ed let through in the first place?
saintscottofthenortham Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Terrible news. Wishing him a full & speedy recovery.
Saint Garrett Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Why has this not been reported on the OS ?! Surely they would want the fans to be kept up to date with this news.
The9 Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Echo have now removed the reference to 'an assault on the Championship' in the last paras. What sort of cretin sub ed let through in the first place? I am reliably informed that they don't have sub eds.
Appy Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Puts anything else on this forum into perspective really. Serious but Stable condition now apparently.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 My first thoughts are with Dan Seaborne and I sincerely hope he makes a full recovery. My 2nd thought are why, after the Barnard incident, players insist on frequenting night-clubs in city centres. I think in this day and age with wages what they are, any aspiring professional should keep well away and the club should enforce that bann and it should be in their contract. My 3rd thought was the Echo were incredibly insensitive with their reporting on this.
Saint Garrett Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 If it was written into their contracts that they're not allowed to have a social life then noone would sign for us lets be honest !
waterlooville saint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Shocking news. Wishing Dan a speedy recovery. Hope they get the people responsible too - no excuses for incidents like this.
Psycrow Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Making the bigger National papers now http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/sep/02/southampton-dan-seaborne-life-threatening?CMP=twt_gu
Big_Bald_Si Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Get well soon Dan, I hope your recovery is speedy
Matty's Caddy Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 My god. I hope the bouncers at junk don't get attacked by a group of angry saints fans in an act of retribution
dinger Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 My 2nd thought are why, after the Barnard incident, players insist on frequenting night-clubs in city centres. I think in this day and age with wages what they are, any aspiring professional should keep well away and the club should enforce that bann and it should be in their contract. I can see what you're saying, but I think it's an unrealistic expectation. These are young men. Most young men like to go out on the sauce from time to time. No night out should end like this; it shouldn't happen to anyone. It's unfortunate that it was him, it would be unfortunate whoever it was. Best wishes to the lad.
jjsaint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Hope they get the people responsible too - no excuses for incidents like this. What's the point, they'll only get a slap on the wrist. There is no true justice anymore.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 Bouncers are scum. Get well soon Dan
RedArmy Posted 2 September, 2011 Posted 2 September, 2011 I wondered how long it would be before the 'footballers should be recluses' brigade came along.
