90:00 Booking: Gael Clichy (Arsenal) booked for unsporting behaviour.

Booking after full time, and rightly so. Get fucking in about them my son. Dirty Brum arseholes.

How can they expect the Arsenal players to continue on after witnessing that assault on one of their friends that could perhaps result in him never being the same player again?

That pic of the fracture gives me the heebs

I hate open fractures and especially double fractures of arms and legs *shudders*

It wasn't a malicious tackle.

Yes, the result of the tackle wasn't nice but there was no intent to go out and hurt him.

Unfortunate.

Unfortunate.

If you did that messing about in the park playing with people on a Saturday afternoon you'd be in court.

It's the fact that they continued the game after that horror show when the players were clearly upset that their mate had just perhaps had his career as he knows it ended.

Sorry, what 'messing' about?

It was an unfortunate tackle. I've seen worse tackles at 5-a-side.

Messing:
-In this instance not playing professional football.
-To play football without a referee or other respected official to marshal.

Wasn't aware it was a regional dialect.

Playing five-a-side you've seen guys getting hit with career-ending challenges? Bully for you.

Middlesborough 1-0 at Anfield

Hibs 2-0 up against ICT after 5 mins

It wasn't that bad a tackle. It was just unfortunate that contact was made. If you have not seen worse tackles, regardless of the outcome, that todays one then you clearly don't watch a lot of football.

All in all its a shame for Eduardo and lets hope he can make a full and speedy recovery.

Flying through the air studs up, he lunges in halfway up the shin of Eduardo's standing leg. The striker's leg clean snaps at a right angle; no wonder Fabregas was holding his head in his hands the minute he saw it. It's going to be an ethical dilemma for sports editors across the country, this picture.

Taylor doesn't even seem to be looking at where his foot his going. It rules out a malicious tackle, but that's just horrible. You don't go in that high without doing damage to someone.

Its the kinda tackle you wanna see from different angles to clear it up...but its the kinda tackle you don't ever wanna see again.

Just edited in a photo from an angle where you can see Taylor's clearly not even looking where his foot is going. I hope the FA slap a nice big ban on him as a deterrent and example.

1530: GOAL Liverpool 2-1 Middlesbrough
1528: GOAL Liverpool 1-1 Middlesbrough

Boo, come on Boro - they're shit!

Phantom Limb · 23rd February 2008, 4:33pm

Fuck yous, 3-1. Horrific tackle though, fuck sake.

Stew · 23rd February 2008, 4:44pm

Spurs would have been better keeping Jermain Defoe, who has given Pompey the lead over Sunderland with a penalty, and getting rid of that useless bastard Bent.

Liverpool 3-2 Middlesbrough, worried?

e: No need, Boro down to 10 men.

Phantom Limb · 23rd February 2008, 4:54pm

I'm still worried

Game over.

Pffft! It was Alialdiare that was sent off - that was a bonus for Middlesborough.

West ham sneak a 1-0 win - Fulham raging about the winning goal - to such an extent one of their players is red carded for his protests
