Other matches 20/21 Season

[Buzzo]

As they said on tv last night, what are they waiting for?-

Because the thing that will force their hand will be very, very bad.

[RichC]

Forgetting what Suarez did/didn't do the FA/PL made a rod for their own back with this. I don't actually think he should be banned tbh as it was clearly meant as a term of endearment but the FA/PL have taken an approach that takes context out of it.

It'll be interesting to see how they deal with this, I imagine like most things it'll be a cluster ****.

[McDermotX]

Aye.....ridiculous to earn a ban, but I agree the authorities are in a spot now.

Not even just with the Suarez thing or context etc, you just need to see the stance that the PL/Sky/BT are in now every advert, every kick off etc.

Statement about being mindful around cultural differences etc. (as long as they fit into British/European sensibilities). Move on.

[Buzzo]

Difficult to be mindful of cultural differences that you didn’t know existed.

The FA are definitely going to make a mess of dealing with this.

Footballs HIA protocols are a joke. Jiminez, clearly can’t play on and is stretchered off. Luis, who also took a whack and was down for a minute or 2. Mop the blood away and wrap a bandage round it then straight back onto the pitch.

Unbelievable.

Reports that Jimenez fractured his skull and has undergone surgery

[Kenneth]

Wolves have confirmed as much.

[Roboklopp]

****

[Corndog]

Poor fella. Great striker, but he might have to retire.

At least that's what happened to Ryan Mason at Hull a few years back.

[Buzzo]

The sound of the impact without any crowd present was absolutely horrendous.

[dom9]

Hope he makes a full recovery.

Peter Cech suffered a similar injury and came back fine, so here's hoping.

[Fivex]

Jimenez can’t catch or punch the ball though, instead he needs to head it.

[dom9]

True

[Fosterbloke]

That's terrible news for the player and the club. At least our injured players will recover and play again, I can't see how an outfield player can play with a weakened skull.

[Roboklopp]

Grew up with a kid with a thin skull. Poor lad couldn’t do any sports really, must’ve been well ****.

[dom9]

Leicester two down at home to Fulham.

It's looking like a pretty round of matches for the Manchester clubs.

And I guess, we've got away with dropping points but not position.
