    Anyway, after that ugly (in every way) encounter, April is a month that will make up for it hopefully for soccer fans.

    I would hope all international footballers possess that passion you refer to. But that, on it's own, is simply not enough at this level of the game. He is a woefully inadequate player. I stand by my earlier comments.

    ...take a look at the rest of the talent in the team.

    Not intended as an insult to the team because they and MON/Keane are doing an excellent job making the absolute most of it, but the fact is we don't exactly have much talent at the moment.

    what are we saying here folks...a career ender ?


    It's a double fracture which is likely to heal more quickly than a full break. He should make a full,reasonably quick physical recovery. The main damage could be psychological in the sense of making a player suffering this kind of injury more reluctant to fly into 50-50 challenges.

    What did Hartson say?

    He wasn't originally saying on the night that he knows the lad and he's not that sort of player and it was unfortunate more than intentional.

    Watched him on football focus and to be fair to him he had back tracked and called it an awful challenge etc.

    Also people calling it a career ender are surely being premature and a little sensationalist. There have been plenty of similar leg breaks in the game and the players have come back within a few months.

    Also the comparison to the David Busst injury are off the mark too imo.
    Busst leg completely collapsed and shattered, bone and muscle exposed through the skin. As horrific as Colemans injury is, and I'm in no way trying to play it down, Bussts was on a whole different level of damage.

    The first time I have ever seen screens brought on to a pitch at a football game to hide the mess that had been made from the impact as staff tried to clean the blood up off the pitch.
