There's nothing in that article that states 'Injury Setback'.

This. Misleading thread title.

Horror tackle. Thought at the time it should be a red card and that backs it up. Don't understand how we didn't even get a free kick for it!

 

[Goldstone1976]

From that photo (and that photo alone) that's a def yellow. A harsh ref could even give a straight red.

Where is that blind ref?? Somebody give that ref white stick even

 

[algie]

It doesn't tell you what is wrong with him? the radio said he tried to get back on but was subbed. Don't think it's that bad.

How the lino can't see that's a straight red I don't f*cking know - the cocksucker is looking straight at it!

 

[The Wizard]

T'was a straight red IMO. If Crofts tackle was a red that certainly was, poor challenge.

Carl, do you mind if I edit the title of this thread a tad pls? The guys are right - it is a touch misleading...

I just wet the bed again.

That is the ankle that was shattered at Hartlepool. He only had the plate removed last year, so any tackle which knocks his ankle is going to cause problems, but hopefully not for too long.

The referee had an awful game. This just reinforces my thoughts on the night.

Good point. The inconsistency of referees at this level is infuriating. How Crofts tackle is a red card and that is not even a free kick is beyond me!

Bet that shitbag Branco knew what he was doing

Yeah i remember him suffering that terrible injury. The radio said it was his knee the other night and i thought phew because of the plate thingy in his foot. Then they changed it to his ankle and i thought Fook. Think most people know LuaLua has had his ankle rebuilt.

He tweeted a picture of him laying on a sofa last night. His right ankle had a support bandage on it but it didn't look anything too major. Hopefully not.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

The fourth official clearly had a view of this as well and plenty of time to talk to the referee.

 

[Telford Seagull]

He got onto the coach wearing a protective boot. He seemed to be walking fine on it, the boot is just standard procedure after a game. However, it was an awful tackle and I'd be surprised to see him play on saturday

Disgraceful tackle by an ex team mate. At least we can afford to give him time to recover now that we have more options.
