Bruno's Collapse

[Thunder Bolt]

How about you read what I was quoting? it was about stephens and sidwell deserving a red....

Word of the day to u.....retard.

I read it, and still think calling anyone a retard is childish.

I only hope the bloke who kicked Bruno in the chest didn't suffer to much of an injury as a result of his actions.

Tombstoning at its finest

If I had been kicked in the chest by a football boot, I'd have crumpled in a heap, and not got up. The way he fell was theatrical, but it was a serious foul.

You back BHA players to the hilt in every situation. Highly commendable but on this occasion I really don't think Bruno was fouled.

I watched the recording when i got home including slow motion. He was kicked. I had already said I thought his fall was theatrical.

Rather large time delay between said kick in the chest and subsequent collapse...

Made it all the more dramatic, I thought.

IF we go up I really hope they give him another year - even if it is as a benchwarmer.

Who knows he may perhaps have something further to contribute in a non playing/ acting capacity !

Would be good.

Audition for a Salt Advert

Anybody else think that something very serious indeed had happened when Bruno collapsed after being kicked in the chest in the second half? He went down like he's been shot/a sack of spuds, etc. And then got straight back up.

Looking for a new career in acting?

 

[AmexRuislip]

From where I was in The West Upper, I genuinely thought for a moment he'd sustained a serious injury to his chest.............

You and your conspiracy theories

 

[dangull]

Anybody got a face book style link to this?

 

[The Albion Roar]

More outrageous was Knockaert's dive in the area.

He wasn't looking for a penalty, more to retrieve the ball before it went out.

But it was theatrical.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Imperious again. What a player.

He seemed particularly pumped up yesterday.

Imagine what he'll be like Tuesday then.

 

[The Birdman]

Looking at the replay the Reading player was lucky not be sent off.
Bruno's dive probable saved him.

 

[SeagullinExile]

IF we go up I really hope they give him another year - even if it is as a benchwarmer.

I'd love to see the man lead his team out in our first game back in the top flight (fingers crossed!)

Now what a proud moment that would be.

 

[Withdean and I]

It was one of the most superb theatrical collapses ever witnessed! [emoji23][emoji23] I was concerned for a few seconds but after that laughed at such a great Bruno moment!

Great performance except that particular action which was a total disgrace cheating designed to get a player a card.,

It was too obvious to be cheating more a work of art really.

Before quoting read what is posted I didnt .say either DESERVED a red card but both were lucky not to get one As highlghted by Sky Stephens got booked for a double footed tackle for which similar tackles in the past have got him a red card. Sidwell elbowed a player in an off the ball incident which again could have been a red but luckily the ref gave him a yellow so the FL or FA cannot take retoropsopective action. Perhaps you disagree that they were both fortunate

I don't think it was theatrical, it's clear he thought to himself "I need to fall over here to ensure the ref has seen the high foot and we get the free kick" - so he did it in the least theatrical way possible, to some amusement.

Theatrical, which alot of players might have done, would have been to jump three foot in the air screaming, hit the ground clutching their faces, then roll around on the pitch for several minutes peeping through their fingers to see if the ref has bought it.

The grass looks a bit long but otherwise I can't see anything untoward in that photo.
