Jonbluefox9 Posted 21 July 2005 Share Posted 21 July 2005 Apparently, the stretcher party that sit behind the dugout said they heard the crack from where they were sitting and knew it was a break right away. I find that hard to believe but if that's true then other people at the front of the West stand would've heard it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnerz Posted 21 July 2005 Share Posted 21 July 2005 Bearing in mind its only a Friendly that was a poor challenge, he's gone in late and caught him but to be honest it didn't look as serious as I thought it would but bearing in mind the size of Balde in comparison to Weso does explain the extent of the injury.

TornadoShaunUK Posted 21 July 2005 Share Posted 21 July 2005 after seeing that it's so obvious that was deliberate, whether or not he meant to break his leg or not is another thing but you should know if you deliberately go to foul someone like that you are going to hurt them...

Darth Fox Posted 22 July 2005 Share Posted 22 July 2005 I follow Celtic as well as the Foxes and reckon Balde should be banned. He's vicious at times and that tackle shows it. Once seen an old firm match where he was strangling a Gers player. Players like that aren't needed. Evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrov19 Posted 22 July 2005 Share Posted 22 July 2005 This is ridicilous. "Evil" "Filth". I understand your anger at a poor tackle but this is turning into a witchunt. It was a bad tackle but it is in no way "obviously intentional". As I've said, Balde's a clumsy player and that in a way explains why he went in akwardly like that. He went for where it looks like the ball is going but he was extremely late and unfortunately his momentum carried him right through. Very poor challenge but to call him things such as 'evil' and 'flith' on the basis of this challenge is outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Fox Posted 22 July 2005 Share Posted 22 July 2005 Okay maybe evil was a bit extreme, he should apologise at least or give the young lad a call. To have that sort of injury at that age must be a right downer. If O'Neil was still manager things would be different believe me. Being a a Celts fan also I am worried about Mr Strachan's start to Celtic career. Remember how well he did at Cov. Hartson's piled on a few punds too. That Arsenal geezer looks the part though.

Solihullfox Posted 22 July 2005 Share Posted 22 July 2005 1. I think it was a dreadful challenge 2. I think it was a direct result of frustration on the part of Balde ,who was being shown up in terms of pace and reading the game by a Leicester side playing well 3. Weso was in the wrong place at the right time. 4. Balde appeared to ensure that he got his man and my opinion is that he moved his foot during the challenge in order to contact Weso's leg 5. Neither Strachan or Balde will make any admission of guilt or an apology for the incident because there is a chance that a legal case may happen in the future and an indiscreet comment could prejudice a case. 6. To suggest that Craig Levein made the comments he has made because he is on a personal mission to run Celtic down is utter rubbish. The comments are because having seen video of the tackle, he is of the opinion that the challenge was intentional and malicious. 7. I am not interested in any inter club rivalry or bitching between scottish based clubs and would advise that the appropriate place for that to be carried out is on your own forum boards. As I have said elsewhere, good luck James and may your recovery be swift and complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry man, but if you can look at that video and call it 'momentum' rather than 'intentional' I would suggest you get your eyes checked. I know it's not nice when a player of your club is caught performing an awful tackle, this particular one was made worse by the fact that.. a.) only a friendly - not a serious match b.) this intentional foul resulted ina fellow professional getting a serious injury and I'd wager he will be out for most if not all of the season. c.) the lad is just a young 'un, I know players know to expect the unexpected and stuff like that but if you have an ounce of decency you do not lunge in on people like that. It's worse with a young player because you know they've got their whole career ahead of them. I also know this is not the first case like this we will see and unfortunately probably won't be the last but the next time you have an opposition player crack in on one of your young talents or key players like that I'd like to hear you say "not to worry mate it was just momentum these things happen".

Leicesterboi Posted 22 July 2005 Share Posted 22 July 2005 I keep watching the video and looking at it cloesly, Balde repostions his body in order to get Weso. He moves his right leg studs up in the opposite direction of where the ball is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbluefox9 Posted 22 July 2005 Share Posted 22 July 2005 I'm I the only person that feels if Balde had shown some concern towards Weso after making the challenge then we wouldn't be as mad with him. The fact is, after he made the challenge he just swaggered off and showned no concern for a fellow professional who was struggling to pick himself up. If, like some people I know said, you could hear the crack then Balde would've realised that he'd done some damage and when he saw the stretcher coming on he definiteley knew he'd done something to the lad. He had enough time to go over and apologise and be sympathetic but he didn't. That to me shows somebody who meant to cause damage to a fellow professional. That is disgraceful.

So, he saw the stretcher come out and then went to see if he was ok? If I was a betting man and I saw a stretcher being brought out I would safely say that the lad's not ok. And our players aren't like the ones you get in some countries. If the stretcher's brought out somethings wrong. The last time I remember it being brought out was two seasons ago which tells you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
