Cardy Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I hope someone breaks his leg. I’m sure he must have pads of some sort on but they must be about an inch high or something. Firstly he looks a right plonker as his legs are nearly 6 feet long, secondly he is setting a dangerous precedent (literally) & thirdly he is setting an unbelievably bad example to the kids. He should be reprimanded by both his club & the Premier League but it won’t happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 He is wearing pads.

Might stop superficial injury in that area. Also, saying “I hope someone breaks his leg” is such bad form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the saying goes ‘you reap what you sow’ & he knows the risks of not wearing proper pads. I think it’s basic physics to suggest that pads reduce the risk of serious leg impact injuries - a bit like helmets reduce the risks of head injuries. They are mandatory at all levels for a reason & yet we have a few players who seem to think they are above the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Think I saw Soyuncu the other day putting some early 80s inspired glorified sheets of paper shin pads on about 25% of his shins, so he’s safe from injury I reckon. never did me any harm, better in the old days etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I've had someone deliberately try and break my leg (still got the scar to prove it) and I was wearing shin pads, always did, and the pain was incredible. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 8, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 28 minutes ago, And Its Smith said: Grealish wears shin pads every game. He certainly does, but they are miniscule The midfielder doesn’t like rolling up his socks and explained how that’s unlikely to change throughout the remainder of his career due to superstitious reasons. "Obviously your socks are supposed to go above your calves,” Grealish was quoted saying by Birmingham Live. "But one year when I was here, the socks once shrunk in the wash. So they wouldn’t go higher. "That season, I ended up playing really well. So it became a superstitious thing for me. I thought ‘I’m going to keep doing this because I’ve done well’." There had previously been speculation that Grealish wore his socks so low after watching footage of Man Utd legend George Best, who would glide past defenders with his socks around his ankles. But Grealish dismissed this, adding: "A lot of people say that it’s because of George Best. While I love him and admire so much what he did, that isn’t the reason." You may also be wondering whether Grealish actually wears shin pads. After all, the Football Association’s Laws of the Game clearly state that shinguards are compulsory equipment. He does, apparently, although they’re described as ‘teenage’ shin pads by a source close to the player. Birmingham Live have been told the shin pads are between large child and small adult size. He wears such small shinguards, according to the report, to help him move more freely as he finds the shin pads that go further up his leg to be restrictive.

Bugs the hell out of me if mine slip down like that, have to strap them tightly in place. I don't think they'd do much to stop a broken leg maybe on some occasions, plenty of players have suffered leg breaks with pads as its usually opposing forces rather than direct impact (e.g. planted foot) that causes it. It would stop smaller injuries from being more serious though I'd imagine Either way, wishing a broken leg on someone is a pretty sick idea.

YorkshireSection Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I have recently retired from years of Muay Thai, we condition our shins by rolling a rolling pin on them and striking wooden poles and trees, its unbelievable how you can build up resilience to injury with practice, resolve and a strong mind. More effective than a flimsy piece of plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
