Superb journalism from The Sun

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Well I think its SUPERB journalism. Its quite clear that Taylor is a NUTTER the camera as they say NEVER LIES.

Look at him THROWING himself into that challenge. Eyes shut, studs up. The guy is a THUG.

Obviously this is ON A PAR with the Hartson/Berkovic training ground incident a few years ago!

 

[Seagullible]

Look the point is IT WAS A SHOCKINGLY BAD challenge and the player must accept the shit coming his way.

yes it was a bad tackle but I've seen MUCH worse and I'm sure you have. All reports from Brum seem to say he IS devastated by what happened but it's not like he deliberatly went out to break Eduardos leg. Talk about an over reaction

I can't recall seeing many worse to be honest

You haven't seen many football games then.

Keane on Harland & Thatcher on Mendez were 'SHOCKINGLY BAD'! Taylor on Eduardo was missed timed! Now for the love of god go away & have a quite word with yourself!

or maybe it is just because the injury that resulted from this challenge was a bad one....? ? You see challenges like that every single week on MOD... are you going a bit mad US?

The point of this thread, by the way, wasn't to discuss the original challenge, but to discuss the merits or otherwise of this particular Sun article.

Which took a perfectly average snapshot of players training and attempted to turn it into something sinister.

Which in turn will further advance the witchhunt against Martin Taylor by some of the less intelligent amongst us, and cause someone who, by most accounts seems to be a decent guy who's made a fairly standard sporting error, no end of
undeserved abuse.


Even by The Sun's standards, that's pretty low IMHO.

I don’t post very often but I can’t let this go. Uncle Spielberg you occasionally make some insightful and intelligent posts but in the main you talk a load of drivel, this thread however takes the biscuit!

Saying that you can’t recall seeing many worse challenges is absolutely ridiculous, I will name you one straight away, Dean Hammonds in his last game for the club. That tackle was a dirty two footed lunge that differed in the way Martin Taylor tackled as Hammond threw himself into a tackle completely out of control and with real intent and aggression. Taylor went for the Ball stretching out his foot and was slightly too slow, there was no aggression in the tackle and his stretch raised his foot from the floor. If the Eduardo had not been injured and just got up and carried on then I have no doubt Taylor wouldn’t have been sent off.

Regarding the article in the Sun, can you honestly say that if that article had been written about you would have taken it on the chin, I would be seething. Its Journalism at its worst, to me that picture looks as if he has just passed the ball rather than even trying to tackle someone and the Sun should be ashamed.

Read the first post on this and thought must be a wind up, to think that the ignorant prick who wrote that article is getting paid for it, and worse still some gullible idiots may actually believe it.

I agree he could be the fall guy but if it sends out a message to be careful with the challenges thats a good thing. With some of the challenges made recently Criminal proceedings for GBH would be appropriate.

:thud:

Pah, these football players are all namby pamby anyway. Now Tim Krumrie's leg injury in the SuperBowl in 1988. Now that was an injury. I can still vividly see his leg flapping around in all the wrong directions to this day.

Pics?

 

[pasty]

Pics?

Couldn't find any, not sure I'd want to see them anyway. There used to be a video on YouTube but the NFL made them remove it.

and is that how you'll feel the next time a brighton player breaks someone leg? And how do you know he isn't ashamed?

What happened with that case?

 

[TonyW]

Not good. I tell you one thing, though - if I received death threats from Croatian fans, I'd take them seriously. Seriously scary bunch.

Bunch of in-bred morons more like!!
A bit like Sun "journalists".

What happened with that case?

Chippy settled out of court.

That Uncle Spielberg is a comedy genius! Love it!

I think the " couldn't give a toss " way he walked away after he butchered Eduardo did him no favours.

No no no, it was Desert Orchid what got 'butchered', not Eduardo.
Totally different horse-face
