hypochondriac Posted 9 March, 2011 Share Posted 9 March, 2011 It's very sad that it happened and of course you would never wish it on anyone but as it has happened it is obviously going to give their opponents an advantage as he is their best player.

OldNick Posted 9 March, 2011 Share Posted 9 March, 2011 Lets hope he returns fully fit and still a star in the future. im sure there would be fans of our rivals laughing if it was our player, that's life i still shudder when I hear parents shout 'break his leg' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1ex2001 Posted 9 March, 2011 Share Posted 9 March, 2011 Sickening injury hate to see that happen to anyone. Will undoubtably help the teams pushing for promotion same way it would if we lost Lallana, teams at this level just simply can't replace that level of quality when it's lost look how rubish we were when Adam was out earlier in the season. Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery he definately has a future at a higher level and it would be a terrible shame for this to be career ending/altering.

SuperMikey Posted 9 March, 2011 Share Posted 9 March, 2011 That's a horrible injury, not only did he break his leg but also dislocated his ankle. Owch. Hope he recovers soon, it'd be a shame to see such a promising career suffer. I believe that's Hudders pretty much screwed for automatic promotion now, unless they bring in somebody quality on an emergency loan (and quickly). Horrible thing to have happen to the guy but you can't say it isn't going to help our cause slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 9 March, 2011 Share Posted 9 March, 2011 One man does not a team make. Therefore I would not be too quick to rule out Huddersfield, as somebody else said - this sort of thing can galvanise teams (DIFM anyone...???). Complacency is a dangerous game to play at this stage of the season. As for the lad who got injured - wish him a speedy and total recovery and a long career ahead hopefully.

SaintBobby Posted 9 March, 2011 Share Posted 9 March, 2011 That's a big loss for them. I get horribly conflicted. Don't wish injury on any player - or oblivion on Plymouth, but I genuinely find it hard not to see all League One football through the prism of Saints promotion chances. Wrong, I know...

Badger Posted 9 March, 2011 Share Posted 9 March, 2011 Ideaaly I'd like us to be promoted on our own merit without having to rely on someone else's misfortune. Perhaps that is too simplistic for some to grasp.That said if AL were out for the rest of the season I'm sure HTFC and others would be only too pleased to take advantage. If we go up it will be because we deserve it and have to win our own games. Hope Pilkington makes a full recovery though as he has looked a good player.

alpine_saint Posted 9 March, 2011 Share Posted 9 March, 2011 Erm no he said something completely different (and he was joking anyway to get people to bite.) I dont think he was joking, tbh. Anyone who sees this awful news as a cause celebre has real issues, imo. Yes, we may benefit from it, in the same way as we may benefit from it if Plymouth Argyle are wound up, but personally the right thing to do is to keep your fingers crossed that it doesnt turn out too bad for the affected party and STFU and act dignified if we really do gain from it. Never forget that next time it could be us suffering the misfortune and someone else benefitting from it without even a glance in our direction.

Absolutely nothing wrong in being happy about another teams misfortune, either on or off the field - look at the hours of fun that has been had on the Pompey thread. So, no reason why we should not be happy that Huddersfield are not as strong as they might be. Making light of a serious injury sustained by a player is something else entirely.

Viking Warrior Posted 10 March, 2011 Share Posted 10 March, 2011 No other fans would give a toss if any of our players broke their legs or were out for several months so why should we. lok at our long term injuries and who can recall danny rodrigues break a few years ago his foot was at right angles Yes I wish their player well but I am not a huddersfield fan so it does not concern me similar I could give a toss about the arsenal player that broke his leg was it fabregus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail on the head, I find this whole thread really discomforting, just don't think it's on at all... to even allude to this as anything other than a really bad thing. I want us to go up on our own merits not because someone got injured.

Saint_Jonny Posted 10 March, 2011 Share Posted 10 March, 2011 What I don't get is why when a footballer breaks a leg it is deemed as "awful" a "disaster" or even "tragic". If I broke my leg on the way to uni, the doctors would put a cast on it with a smile, people would pat me on the back and say "you ****ing idiot, stop moaning and man up", and if I was lucky they might draw a couple of cocks on my cast with a thick marker pen. The guy has broken his leg, and like all professional footballers in his position he will STILL get paid a lovely wedge at the end of every month, and still be guaranteed his job when the leg heals up in 12 weeks time or whatever. Why is it such a tragedy when a footballer breaks a bone? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'sa laugh, pro sportsmen have atiny shelf life you'll be working until you're 65. Fair enough players like Rooney earn obscene wages but that's only because he's good at what he does,( well... I suppose Rooney's a bad example,) But look at how many ex Saints there are who are not exactly well off in their golden years. The few at the top make a killing but for the hundreds of others who aren't quite good enough to play at the top level that's another story.

Viking Warrior Posted 10 March, 2011 Share Posted 10 March, 2011 The real Tragedy is the Like of Dean Richards et al. And this borken leg thing needs to be put into context. A broken leg is just that, at least he still has a leg and his life. look at all those servicemen who have lost varying amount of limbs during their service in afghan and iraq and other conflicts. Now that is a tragedy. I would rather have a broken leg that lose my arms and legs like serviceman and worse still my life to the brain disease that sadly took Deans life as well as our great saviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
