Dan Seaborne Attack

Not nice news although I've learnt Dan did not help himself according to many.

 

He was seen lording it in the club, saying how he earns more than anyone else in the club, googling himself to girls proving he’s a footballer (when most didn’t recognize him), being absolutely obnoxious, bugging women, slapped a doorman/got warned/did it again, got hit. You can't go around slapping doormen and expect no action. Obviously some others took it further. Not condoning anyone being assaulted or hospitalized but he obviously didn’t help himself with that behaviour. Silly boy! Cortese will hit the roof at more bad press. He won’t tolerate it.

 

It's a shame some of the arrogance football and earning big money breeds. Let's hope he recovers soon as no-one deserves to be hospitalised.

 

Did you get that from the comments on the echo? There's nothing to be gained from spreading RUMOURS like this at this time, true or not.

Yes, a 'night on the beers', if indeed he was drinking which we don't know, only 8 days before a game will affect his performance. Has the fact that clubs employ an army of nutritionists, physios, etc, passed you by? They do so because fitness, health, nutrition, sleep patterns, all matter. Presumably you think players needn't even bother training till a day or two before a game?

 

Why do we even bother with a pre-season programme I wonder? That's weeks before a game.

 

Are you serious? Paul McGrath played most of his career f*cked out of his face yet he was a great player.

 

You're very naive if you think many footballers don't go out drinking

If this is the so-called 'Door Staff' at the night club, these thugs are supposed to be licensed by the Securities Industries Authority (SIA). Action shouild be taken not just against the individuals who carried out the assault, but on the owners of the NightClub who should ensure their staff are trained to know the difference between reasonable force when there is no other alternative, and acting like bullying thugs. Also why the SIA licence people capable of such behaviour.

 

If someone throws a person to the ground its no defence to claim it was an accident if they hit their head, because that is too obvious a risk from a fall and is why cyclists wear helmets.

 

This is dreadful news for Dan Seaborne and we must all hope it won't affect his playing career, not just for Saints' sake but for his own, simply because football is his livelihood.

Wonder if McGrath could have cut it in today's game. Great player but doubt he would have been as productive as back then.

I employ a number of SIA Door stewards and know what they can be like. When you consider the reason why someone would take up that kind of career you can understand how someone like Dan would be an easy target. My son was arrested by the police after bouncers started on him in Portsmouth and he very nearly got 6 months for Assault.

 

I can easily understand how Dan has been a victim of the door stewards Egos.

 

I wish him a speedy recovery and hope that cctv enables the appropriate outcome to result from the police investigation.

Rooney drinks and smokes and seems to get away with it. Plenty of top players seem to manage as well. Probably shouldn't do it, but most don't seem to care.

I suspect if he has a serious head injury he will not be concious as someone comment. He is probably under heavy sedation and may have an endotracheal tube inserted to aid his breathing.

 

As some one said he is concious, I find this strange given the reports of the serious of his injuries. its i more likely he is responding to some form painful stimuli and his nursing team will be using the Glasgow Coma scale to assess his levelof head injury. Also was it suggested previously he had a craniotomy or some skull burrs to help relieve blood pressure and clots?

 

Its early days but always the first 24/48 hours that are the most critical for severe head injuries

 

My thought are with You dan and your family > I hope hyou honestly pull through

I got my face smashed in by a bouncer, for merely opening a fire escape. I went to the police and they told me the CCTV showed that I had incited it by goading the door staff - complete rubbish. They also refused to let me see the CCTV in question. At the time the bouncer ran off after realising what he had done, so he must've thought he'd be in trouble. Police & bouncers are all up each others arses...

True, though I doubt its like the old days where the idea of a warm down was to see who get changed and make it to the bar the quickest. Most players probably don't see the benefits of a strict diet till the end of their careers - think Giggs, Zenden etc.

I am a Mother of a footballer and I for one minute do not believe Dan was larging it, boasting etc

 

My son was innocently standing in nightclub when some complete moron started trying to chat up his girlfriend and then started to abuse his football team deciding then it would be a really good idea to head butt him, breaking his nose.

 

This happens because of stupid men that are jealous and feel the need to belittle men who are more successful!

Make a bit of extra cash on the weekends to help look after your children?

 

Part time job to pay there way through uni?

 

Yep, savages.

Best wishes to Dan, this is horrific and he doesn't seem the sort of player to be giving it the big "I am" either.

 

London Road from memory is covered by CCTV so if someone has done something stupid they are going to find it difficult to cover their tracks if an incident has occured on the pavement outside the club. About time the political parties, licencees and the other authorities got together, put their differences aside and started taking serious measures to curb the alcohol-fuelled anti-social behaviour that seems to blight the city. I'm only 33 but you would not find me out in Southampton City Centre after 8pm at night, it's too unsafe. Don't get me wrong, I'm a CAMRA member and like a beer but action needs to be taken.

 

Poor journalism by the Echo but then when has it been any different?

 

I'm sorry, but to say Southampton City Centre is not a place to go after 8pm as you fear for your safty is just silly.

 

I'm 23 and go out most weekends. I'm usually back in Southampton every other weekend and tend to go out around Bedford Place. It really is not an 'unsafe' place to be. Yes fights happen, but random attacks are very rare. 99% of people are there to have a good time, and 99% of people do.

 

Thousands of people are killed on the road every year, do you avoid roads?

Just got in to hear of this news. Pleased to see that he is stable and improving in his recovery.

 

While the thugs that perpetrated the injury/crime should feel the long arm of the law, I also feel that if someone puts themselves into a situation then they must take some responsibility for any likely outcomes. Society today is so soft when it comes to taking responsibility for ones own actions. If you don't want to get hurt, then don't get drunk in or around a place that will harbour the kind of people that thrive on aggro - like a nightclub for example. I'm sorry to have to say that given the amount of money professional footballers earn, I am amazed that they often end up hanging around seemingly the most sleaziest of places and often to score with a slapper.

 

Get well soon Dan.

I was just thinking that we should all show how much we appreciate Dan by doing a 1 minutes applause or something at either the next home game, the Charlton/Preston Carling Cup game or the Birmingham league game or the only thing to do is to win our next three games or how many games until Dan is back and raring to go playing for Saints again but this is just an idea and not something concrete!

Thanks!

COYR :D!!!

One minutes applause is usually reserved for when some one snuffs it. And was only really introduced because there are always a few bell-ends who don't respect the silence.

 

We should just cheer his name for a good long time: "There's only one Danny Seaborne... etc"

Yeh that would be better actually as yes 1 minutes applause/silence are reserved for someone who has sadly passed away so yeh singing "There's only one Danny Seaborne... etc" wouldn't come a miss 1976_Child Mate!

Crossing roads is a slightly more essential activity than milling around a town centre amidst drunk and violent people.

Thats just a tad overthetop trousers me old mucker

 

Yes, there will be drunk people around but you hardly have to walk around with a bloody bodyguard, if your not looking for trouble you won't get any.

So, reporting then? damn those reporters reporting on things!

 

Unfortunately your attempt at wit fails as you are unaware of the context.

 

Phoning up someone, not making it clear you are the Echo or a journalist, then having a conversation with a person, noting all they say, not making it clear you intend to publish what they say and not asking permission to do so isn't right.

Quite agree. I was simply questioning someone's comparison of two different types of potentially dangerous situations, by suggesting that one activity was less essential than the other and thus more avoidable.

 

But, as others have said, not really the thread to be going into the technicalities, so apologies for that.

A good many footballers, like lots of other young men, are looking for fun and places to meet girls so nightclubs will always be on the agenda. Players may also have more to spend than the average bloke on a night out so that both the fame and the money will make them stand out. You do wonder if clubs give players enough advice on how to enjoy a night out without attracting too much attention and how to walk away from confrontation.

Completely untrue, my mate who this happend to:

 

 

 

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.

 

was literally walking past trying to avoid getting caught up in it, he is not the violent or mouthy type & that night he wasn't even drinking as he was driving his mates around, he was literally in the wrong place at the wrong time. So to say "if your not looking for trouble you won't get any" is quite ridiculous & untrue.
