Soccer is for sissiesFollow

Except when stuff like this happens:





Double fracture of the tibia. In the last pic, his foot in still in his shoe. The bit hanging out is his ankle.

I was watching the game live this Saturday morning, and it wasn't even that bad of a tackle. Pretty inocuous for Premier League standards.

The real tragedy in all this, of course, is that my beloved ******* have now lost one of their top strikers for the rest of the season. If not more. Not only that, but we drew this game because the players had somewhat lost their appetite after seeing their teammate hacked to bits. A win would've put us 5 points clear at the top with 11 games to go...

Sissies.

That's a career-ending injury, there. Quite a shame that out of fear of being called a sissy, that man won't let it heal for the appropriate time before he tries to weight-bear.

I've been told that tendon injuries often take much longer and are chancier to heal up properly than bone breaks.

But I've never seen such a spectacular bone break.

Also: I hope one or both of those bones isn't usually under torsion naturally, because those bones can bee utter buggers to heal up properly.

Heebie jeebies.

Ugh.

I'm betting there's some tendon involvement here as well. Be a damn miracle if there isn't.

Makes me want to hug my Achilles tendons. That's just so nasty, lawd.

Rugby injury go time?

Saw this on another forum a bit back, though not as visibly painful it still had to hurt like a *****.

Don't let him fool you. His face just looks like that because he's Asian. If you look closely, he's actually smiling. He thinks it's funny because he knows kung fu.

They're wrong.

As a premiership player, his career is fUcked.

I once had a bad tibia fracture from soccer, although it certainly looked nothing like that.
