Swindon Town vs Chesterfield matchday thread #ClemItsTime

The sad thing is the total lack of any even basic reporting of his injury in the media, not expecting detail but the complete silence in the nationals just goes to show how little interest they have beyond the PL.

I dunno, maybe I'm giving them too much credit but maybe they are waiting to get the full picture before reporting it.

I think the PL is under a microscope and is a bit diffrerent.

[Peter Venkman]

Whatever it is its a horrific injury for him, possibly life changing by the sound of things.

I hope he recovers soon wouldnt wish that sort of injury on anyone, seen it so many times and often caused by players on the same team colliding. A freak accident.

Get well soon.

[Leggett]

If it's as bad as it seems, when it becomes public I expect the press to take more interest in the story, it's an awful accident with potentially life changing results. The radio silence on it, bar the brief update last night, could be because they don't know the full scale of the injury yet. Swelling, surgery etc... Fingers firmly crossed for him.

I think this is spot on. It sometimes takes a while to see whether lack of feeling or sensitivity returns once swelling goes down after the type of surgery that I think he must have undergone.

[THE FLASH]

Terrible game of football.

Dull, scrappy, shithousery in full flow, a penalty needed to seal it and an awful injury to a player.

Had a think over the weekend i can confirm that is the worst game i have seen that we have actually won.

I hope that lad recovers, a truly terrible thing to watch.

[McGurk's Missus]

Was going to comment on the match but it's pretty moot all things considered.

Genuine concern for Tyrone Williams overrides any match result. Really hope a best case scenario can be achieved and he can continue a career in football.

Also spare a thought for Ryan Boot, who must feel awful about it all as well. Both are the same age and played together at Solihull Moors, so I'm sure they know each other quite well too.

On further reading, I didn't realise that the player had not long come back from a dislocated shoulder injury, which he delayed having an operation on because he's out of contract EOS; he simply wanted to play in order to earn a contract extension so deferred having the op. The guy really needs something going his way. I know football is a business as such, but regardless of the outcome, I hope Chesterfield offer him another year anyway.

Tyrone Williams has sent the following message to update on his progress after being injured in last weekend’s game at Swindon Town….

To all concerned and worried family, friends and Spireites; as well as the general football community.

I can’t thank you deeply enough for your well wishes, uplifting messages and posts – it really means the world.

Firstly, I’d like to thank you for being respectful, patient and considerate. In a time where me and my family weren’t sure what tomorrow would bring, a few days ago.

Chesterfield FC, as my extended family, have been excellent. As a club you have gone above and beyond. Looking after me and my loved ones, whilst I’ve been on the mend. I have and hope to continue making amazing progress.

As I continue to take it day by day, I can’t wait to return to the pitch, fitter, stronger and more determined than ever to continue my passion.

Thank you.

Ty

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Very positive and encouraging response. What we all wanted to hear I'm sure...

[Batch]

He's talking return to the pitch, which is very positive even if it turns out to be long term.

[RedRag]

Very broadbrush update but we must respect his privacy and wish him all the very best on his recovery journey.  One hell of a relief to receive any positive update.  Go Ty.

[No Longer Posh Red]

As Batch said as he's even thinking about returning to playing is a sign that in his head he's going to make a full recovery, which is in itself great news.

Fingers crossed for him that is the case

Sad to see Phil Kirk of Chesterfield has terminal cancer

It was an awful accident.

I take this as positive news.

Holloway has had his red card overturned. Oddly phrased as "the FA withdrew charges" rather than a successful appeal, which makes it sound like it really might have just been a misunderstanding.

No touchline ban anyhow.
