Michael Timlin has a Headache

[londonblue]

No surprise there then!

 

[Uncle Leo]

What a wimp.

 

[dannypav]

Take a couple of paracetamol and should be right as rain in an hour.

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

Justifies the reason not to bring him back on. Players safety must come first..

Well that and half his skull was hanging out.

Amazed Stevenage saw different, mind

 

[simac21]

Yeah cant believe what I was reading on Stevenage Boro Chat forum, They think Timlin should have been sent off. Quite clearly with every angle that timlin only had eyes for the ball just like there player!

 

[dbailey3]

In the olden days thats a top tackle (the REALLY olden days mind)

 

[palexander]

I'll be honest, I still cant believe no action was taken against Timlin. Eyes on the ball or not, isnt it "reckless endangerment".

Doesnt matter if you have eyes on the ball - you could have eyes on the ball and at the same time stamp on someones knee!

It was good to see such a wholehearted attempt, but each time you watch it, it looks awful from Tims!

 

[Jam_Man]

Just watched it again, its a horrific collision, but he wasnt trying to hit him, accidental all the way for me.

 

[stickyboy]

man up Michael, you should have just "run it off" :)

It's only reckless endangerment if Timlin meant to hurt the other player. That collision was accidental with both players competing for the ball. The referee saw nothing at all deliberately dangerous, so it wasn't.

I tried to do that with a broken leg playing for SZ. It doesn't work

Ah - but did you try "hopping it off" or just give up and hobble off leaving the team to cover? :unsure:

Did you get treatment using the magic sponge and bucket first?

 

[Mark Stevart]

I think Hils had left as club magic sponge girl by then.

No, its not.

Its reckless if its reckless. Intent doesn't come into it. Never has.

If it had been deemed a reckless challenge he'd have been sent off for serious foul play.

This is spot on

Nope, I just tried to run it off thinking it was a dead leg. When I couldn't run it off, I came off, watched the rest of the game, drove home, went to work Monday. When it was still hurting Tuesday, drove to the hospital , had an Xray, found it was a broken leg
