Professor Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Diving in the penalty area has been the scourge of football for at least 40 years and yet the administrators and the referees allow it to continue. Yet another game ruined by a bad referee decision. But when you hear commentators like Michael Owen, who should know better, suggesting penalties depend on (a) contact and (b) the player 'going down', it seems the game has lost sight of what is and what is not a foul. Contact is NOT a foul as contact involves BOTH players.
Viking Warrior Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Let the club medics assess the injury before being so ultra negative . It could be serious but equally it might just be a minor knee twist . Let's just wait and see instead of speculating
Leicestersaint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Poor free kick by RL - have we actually hit the target yet?

alpine_saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 He was weeping when he came off. My guess he knows himself how bad it is.
Viking Warrior Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Gaston took a knock and has an injury . That's why he is not playing today

Contact is NOT a foul as contact involves BOTH players. You make a fair point. But when a player deliberately sticks his leg up ay waist height to try and impede the attacking player, as Jose did in this case, the ref doesn't really have much of a choice. It was the intent, not the seriousness of the foul, that forced the ref's hand.

igsey Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Ramirez has an ankle injury. JWP was excellent last week, so there is hope, but losing our top scorer is never going to be good. Let's hope it's not serious.

Viking Warrior Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 I saw it in the telly . Let's just wait and see
Dr Who? Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Viking Warrior said: Gaston took a knock and has an injury . That's why he is not playing today Yes a knock in training. I heard this last night.

JoeShmoe Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 #PrayForJay Couldnt really give a **** about this game now
CB Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Hope it just a jar, but I fear the worst. The knee gave way when he landed on it
Scoobysaint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 I reckon it is medial ligaments . . . . . 6 weeks out!
Twiggy Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Didn't see JRods injury, but it sounds like he landed awkwardly and twisted his knee? Potentially dislodge his kneecap - hurts like a motherfcker and would be unable to walk on it if it happened - fortunately no long term issue with physio and only a couple of weeks out. (Fingers crossed its not anything worse - not that I'd inflict that on anyone)

John Boy Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Dr Who? said: Yes a knock in training. I heard this last night. What someone criticised his pass so he's taken the hump.
Dr Who? Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 I love it on here, we do not know how bad it is, so lets all wait for the club to let us know.
bristolsaint29 Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 I wept when I decided to clean a cut on my leg with undiluted witch hazel. I was fine the next day. HTH
igsey Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 It's upsetting when the best players of the best team in the country still dive all over the place. I'm not sure I could bring Yaya Toure down if I tried.

Wrensup Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 diving c.unt. Why can't pundits just say yeah that's a dive, than be faggots and say yeah "not much contact"
Monk Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 We could win this 6-1 and I'd be more concerned about Jay.
alpine_saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Dr Who? said: Yes a knock in training. I heard this last night. TBF if I were in the squad I'd go for him for his continuous lack of effort such a fortune each week.
