Lack of Action Man Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Tbf, reminded me of what Tyson did to Gerken in the sense of how long it took to get him safely off the pitch. Challenge was unfortunate - certainly no intent I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Very glad he's ok, lost my temper with a few idiots in the EE yesterday singing "let him die" It could have been a very serious injury (they were taking it that way from the time it took) and if it had been one of our players there would have been an outcry had Ipswich been singing that. You know who you are, some of you read and post on the forum. At no point was it funny, and im glad I verbally confronted those that said what they were saying. A few people need to learn when it stops being funny and give it a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah cos there are seven minute delays all the time in football, and he left the pitch on a spinal board being given oxygen just cos they felt like it? The other players on both sides were trying to keep warmed up due to such a lengthy delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confronting them only leads and lead to further songs/chanting/banter etc and did not help. Confronting them may make you feel better but will not prevent the supporters doing so in the future. If one of our players had the same injury at an away ground im pretty sure the majority of their home fans would act the same way but probably on a greater scale (dependant on club & way game was going). It was a very small minority (not the whole ground). If thats the worst thing that happens in the EE nowadays then its come a long way.

Admin phantom Posted April 17, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yeah cos there are seven minute delays all the time in football, and he left the pitch on a spinal board being given oxygen just cos they felt like it? Think your view from the EE was distorted, oxygen was given to him whilst on the floor but when taken off he was put on a spinal board a PURE PRECAUTION. This is a standard procedure when it is a head injury, to ensure now further damage down in case small bones in neck etc broken. It became clear quite quickly that the ITFC players knew he was ok as like mentioned above his team mates were joking and talking without any looks of concern. I'm not even sure he was ever unconcious, as when he hit the ground he put his arm out to cushion his fall, not the action of someone instantly knocked out One of those scenarios that looks a lot worse than what it really was. As for the chant, rightly or wrongly this is heard at all grounds when a player is down injured, when does it come acceptable ? Broken leg etc ???

Why doesnt every body stop ranting and getting on there high horse about the smallest of things. We are not the authortiys we are just supporters. If someone wants to sing irene, if someone wants to sing fast, if someone wants to sing slow, alsong as its not hurting anybody then watch the game and do your own thing! If theres a serious problem the stewards and police will deal with it! Probably one of the reasons the atmosphere is so poor is because there are so many egos and people thinking they are better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonwheeler Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Sorry but I am with Dolly fully on this one. Thankfully injuries such as this one are very rare but I think that we could all see by the immediate reaction of both sets of players and the referee that it was serious? Also after about five minutes one of the Ipswich coaching staff came running down the touchline in front of the Williams heading towards the dressing room and someone asked him how their player was and he replied "We dont know, hes unconcsious and on oxygen." Now call me old fashioned but when you get a reaction such as this you should work out that this is not your normal "run of the mill" he will get up and run it off type of injury? So for those with very limited IQ's (On whichever side or wherever they sit) to make ridiculous and derogatory comments is at the best in very bad taste and shows them up for being what they are. Presumably they crack similar jokes when they come across a serious RTA? Total RICHARD heads. Thankfully it appears that the Ipswich player has recovered and had no serious long term problem. Im all for having a laugh at a football match and yes I was one who asked Stanley Bowles many, many moons ago as he led on a stretcher (with what later turned out to be a broken leg) under the old floodlight gantry if he was "Alright, there Stan", but, there are times when a respectful silence is required. I just think that some people should think before they open their mouths and fair shout to Dolls for voicing what most normal, fair minded supporters probably were thinking.

The Red Planet Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I would focus on the positive. As he was stretchered off, 90% of City fans gave him a round of applause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I would focus on the positive. As he was stretchered off, 90% of City fans gave him a round of applause. There was certainly a respectful silence from the Dolman and the Atyeo throughout lengthy treatment and, as you say, loud and sympathetic applause as he was stretchered off. Nobody else in the ground could hear the few impatient kids in the EE who were apparently singing the song that was chanted to every injured opposition player years ago. What did surprise me was the Ipswich fans were audibly and visibly singing a number of songs fairly soon into the interruption when you'd think they would have been the most sympathetic and anxious.

(And i didn't chant, and did clap etc - from my vantage point in the dolman just above the incident (ie clear view) the medical staff were following a pre=arranged precautionary proceedure for this type of (potential) injury - and at no time did I get the impression that it was very serious from the actions of the Ipswich staff or players, just being sensible) CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lad was knocked out cold which from the sounds of it he was, 'let him die' is a pretty low thing to be singing. This attitude is really sad and pathetic, let's just turn a blind eye to everything, so long as you're clapping him off, have a medal sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no point did I justify the chant, which you are suggesting I did. It also not about turning a blind eye, you have to choose your battles in life and personally taking on lads at football for chanting is pointless and potentially could of caused more problems than it solved. 'Did you kill a prositute' chant was far more offense IMO, did Dolly challenge the people singing this? point being challenging people for chanting at football is a futile exercise. It's not Dollys responsibility to tell strangers what they should be doing, don't you get that? People in life are going to say and do things you don't like, if you confront people everytime you feel they have not met your standards its a matter of time before you come unstuck and get yourself into a 'situation', I'm of the opinion its a complete waste of energy and there are FAR bigger issues in life to feel 'dismayed' about.

Monkeh Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I didn't hear the eastend chanting but then again I haven't heard much of them this season and when it does it sounds like theirs about 200 parriots their with the two speed chant, I perosnally don't mind the let him die chant as long as its before you relise the exstent of the injury, It wasn't appariant that it was serious until our Doctor ran on to the pitch that anything was majorly wrong, once alot of people saw that their was a bit of a stunned silence from most sections of the ground and a very respectful clap while he was being led to the tunnel, Things being posted on here are OTT as normal, I for one am glad to hear the lad is ok lets leave it at that and move on, instead of getting one upsmanship in, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you care so little about people joining in with it, it should make no difference whether you did. At no point did I justify the chant, which you are suggesting I did. Don't twist my words, smart arse Turning a blind eye and condoning it are different.

It's not Dollys responsibility to tell strangers what they should be doing, don't you get that? If no one else is going to do anything about it, which they seemingly aren't, why not? All fans represent BCFC. On a personal level I wouldn't want to be associated with the kind of people who think it's funny to chant that kind of thing when someone's just been knocked out, and fair play to DM for sticking up to them. People in life are going to say and do things you don't like, if you confront people everytime you feel they have not met your standards its a matter of time before you come unstuck and get yourself into a 'situation', I'm of the opinion its a complete waste of energy and there are FAR bigger issues in life to feel 'dismayed' about. There's far bigger issues everywhere, that doesn't condone it in any way, and has nothing to do with DM doing anything wrong. It wasn't appariant that it was serious until our Doctor ran on to the pitch that anything was majorly wrong, once alot of people saw that their was a bit of a stunned silence from most sections of the ground and a very respectful clap while he was being led to the tunnel, If that's the case, it's more than fair enough, but certainly from the way it's been painted it doesn't sound like that was the end of it.
