A FOCKING BASTARD
Football has been, and will continue to be, a significant part of my life.
My late dad was the inspiration to all of us in the family.
All of us boys played the game - all at various positions and me at right back (or wing-back, fullback? God knows what they call it nowadays).
But none of us ever reached the heights that our Dad did.
Me Dad played at centreback - and he was good enough to have played for Selangor in the days of the HMS Malaya Cup.
He even got a winners medal and made that position a somewhat hallowed one for us.
It therefore pains me to see someone, especially a so-called professional, who plays in this position commit an act that even Vinnie Jones would have thought twice about.
Especially when such an act, despite the protestations of this player's manager, was aimed at hurting an opponent.
This bastard, whose name I will not let sully this blog of mine, is the Birmingham City centre-back.
The challenge trapped Eduardo's shin against the ground and proceeded to snap our Crozillian's tibia and fibula.
In short he broke both the bones in Eduardo's leg.
And pictures showed a bone shard poking through the flesh and stocking of the player.
Cesc Fabregas, who was closest to the scene, was almost moved to tears while other hardened professionals struggled not to vomit at the sight of his twisted limb.
It took more than eight minutes to treat him on the pitch before they moved him to the hospital.
Ambulance men were reportedly ashen-faced after treating him.
And Sky TV refused to show replays of the incident - deeming it too horrific.
Eduardo will not only miss playing for Croatia in the European Championship, but it is also possible that he will never play professionally again.
Here's what the bastard looks like.

Already his manager, Alex MacLeish, is protesting that he's "not kind of person".
But then, that's what some people would always say when someone's unmasked as a serial killer.
I don't want to kill this bastard, or cause him bodily harm.
But just like Arsene, I just don't want to see him on a football pitch again.
Ever.
Focking Bastard.

Update:
Eduardo's wife is quoted as saying that only the fibula (outer bone) was snapped and the tibia is still intact. She also said there were no complications, so I'm hoping that's all true.
The Focking Bastard is still a focking bastard anyhow.

Angry football fans (especially Gooners) - go and sign this. It'll make you feel better.

shud take a look at this link, fuck that mincer!!
Poor, poor guy :(
Do footballers get monetary compensation in cases like this?
Skysports likened the injury to Alan Smith (instead of that Coventry guy, who was it again?). So perhaps there is still hope.
Tok Cipan,
Why is it 'an horrific injury' and not 'a horrific injury'? Surely the 'h' is not silent, unless you are Cockney?
Yang keliru,
Gemma binti Gammy Legs
ugly sod. must be from umno.
outkhai,
It was deliberate - u can see it in the first pic of the youtube file. The tackle was so high that it couldn't be an accident or focking "mistimed".
And that grin says it all.
The Focking Bastard had been told this week by Alex MacLeish that he will be "let go" at the end of the season - so I guess he wanted some payback on strikers who made him look like the twat that he is.
I'm so upset for Eduardo, knowing what he was willing to go through to make it in the Croatian league in his early days.
lils,
There's the insurance, and I guess modern medicine can work miracles but the poor sod will never be the same.
I'm no medical professional but the break look quite close to the ankle that I fear the worst for him.
I just hope Ms Karma pays a lengthy visit to that Focking Bastard.
Gemma sweetheart,
It's always "an" before a silent "h" but not before a loud one.
For example it's a husband, not an husband. So "horrific" should be "a horrific injury".
Unless you're a Cockney, innit?
:D
dipthong,
Not only UMNO but right in KJ's annex, kot.
This reminds me of my last match against a club from Kepong. The Chinese boys kicked us throughout the game. There werent malicious, they just dont know how to play. They were clumsy and substitute the lack of skill and flair with physical play.
I decided to hang the old boots after the game.
*hidup Man City*
I guess football has become the ugly side of rugby when it comes to physical inflictions?
Remember those days when beckham was on crutches? is eduardo's broken ankle worse than becks metatarsal injury?
a perfect candidate for putera umno doncha think?
times like this.. you sort of wished that keown and co. are still around..
manal, comments like yrs r ruining the game. go n bake something nice in the kitchen ok?!
leave this game for us men.
Mancs Anon,
I know how u feel - but this was supposedly a pro and supposedly a nice guy.
Manal,
Sampai hati you mention Becky on my blog - dah I kena samak the whole thing.
*tsk
dipthong,
He'll be perfect for the Ketua Gerak Gempur (Rejimen Rempit).
Des,
The Gooners were so stunned by the damage that they forgot to go and choke that FB.
Imagine that!
Anon,
It's u again, innit SirGay/ Pantiechewiski?
Manal can say anything she wants on my blog.
(((((manal)))))
