I'll link it so you don't get accidental eye damage.

That is just fucking sick  :chunder:  :chunder:  :chunder:  :chunder:

sorry it is a bit nasty.

That is grim, poor fella, hopefully he'll recover as he's a superb player.

That is not nice. Hope for a very speedy recovery is an excellent talent.

Reminds me of the David Busst injury.

Career over ! :cry:

NMH

i really hope he makes a recovery but after seeing that i dont know how its going to be possible.

Such a terrible thing to happen to such a young tallented player (even if he did play for the arse)

truly awful ... i felt sick in the pub today watching that match

should have been abandoned

Hope its not the end for him, he has been looking really good recently, his finishing is top class.
Good luck Eduardo.

Had to be someone in my Fantasy prem team didn't it god dammit.

I hope he can recover to make what is left of his career although unlikely.

Cisse's break was pretty bad and he made it, you never know.

Alan Smith had a similar injury and came back. There are so many advances these days I wouldn't rule his career over.

He could have run it off...

I wouldn't have sent Taylor off, to be honest. as strange as it sounds, although it snapped his leg in half, i din't think it was that bad a challenge

Tough one. I honestly don't think he went in to hurt Eduardo but having your foot up like that is, as proven, a tad dangerous. Have to say I've seen much worse challenges this season though

Thats what happens if you dont drink milk kids. Is his foot stil in the boot on the first picture? It honestly doesn't look that bad

He'll be needing a new pair of socks then.

A few stitches here and there and they'll be fine.

studs up, halfway up his shin, difficult to tell if his eyes were solely on the ball or not

Fuck sake Fatters, he's not dead

Okay, from that picture it looks bad. It's unfortunate had his weight on that leg... if he hadn't he'd have just been up-ended

should've worn better fucking shin pads then!!!!!

if his studs were stuck as well, that's just doubly unfortunate.

i don't think taylor should be hung, drawn and quartered for it but a three match ban for a tackle that could be career-ending seems a bit pathetic really, intentional or otherwise

It's horrible, and unfortunate, but sometimes it happens. To suggest Taylor banned for anything other than 3 games because he may have ended someones career would be wrong. You have to ignore the severity injury and look at the intent.

I hope Eduardo makes a recovery.

Just seen it on MOTD and my opinion is the picture in this thread makes it worse than it seemed full speed. There didn't seem to be any intent, he didn't look like he went in to do anything but win the ball. But Eduardo got there first.

i think you are spot on batch.i thought he meant it from the photo but not from the motd replay.

absolutely sickening, hate to think a young player's career might be over. this shit happens but it's still horrible when it does. I didn't think the challenge was that bad but MOTD didn't show as many angles as the photographs so it's hard to tell.

He's 25 on Monday.

Happy birthday :|

Oh well never mind, how many lower league players have career threatening injuries that nobody cares about? He's paid tens of thousands a week, he knows the risks.

doesn't make it an acceptable event - how you just say 'oh well'?

The press that this gets doesn't change what has happened to him and it's not his fault what league he plays in.

Occupational hazard?
What i meant is that people get injured in all walks of life but when top player gets injured its deemed shocking, thats life.

i find it equally shocking when it's someone's career ended - be it League 2 or Premiership.Yes, it's an occupational hazard - so is being shot in the army - but it's still saddening when it happens.

it's shocking and sad when something like this happens to anyone. the difference here is that it happened on live television to a talented footballer who has his whole career ahead of him and is known to the vast majority of us.

admittedly, if it does end his career then he won't be hard up for cash.

Yes obviously its not nice seeing that type of injury but i doubt we would be talking about a league 2 players broken leg on here, i dont get all the fuss over premiership players they aint any different just get paid far too much.

that's a fair point - i would care just as much but probably wouldn't hear about it (or see it).

If i fell off scaffold on monday i would be completely fucked long term i dont think Eduardo will be.

Not with Claims Direct you wouldn't be! Where there's blame there's a claim! 100% of the compensation money guaranteed!!!!1111!!!

But im a clumsy fucker so would probably be my fault :|

Fucking hell-its only skin that's keeping his foot on!
