This is just ridiculous. Did someone die?
@Tucker called it.
Did I?
I can’t agree fella, about the slack cutting, it’s the most physically dangerous position to play in, he’s trained to do that, from since he was at an academy as are every other keeper thats- and we are only discussing how dangerous it is because they both missed the ball.Doesn't make it any less dangerous though does it. Like I said, goalkeepers get cut a lot of slack.

We expect keepers to dive head first at strikers feet, but they actually need to spread to close the amount of open goal, closing the ball down to also reduce the chances of a goal.
maybe I can’t agree because the keeper was the position I play and one my son plays, so I see him trained to do exactly this (situational of course), every week.
I’ve also seen my son have his lower leg snapped in two by an outfield player closing his down studs up (didn’t even get booked for it), not an apology - ironicallyhe was playing against Liverpool at the time too.
not a single Liverpool coach or player came to see if he was okay when he leg was snapped - so probably circumstantial/emotional why I disagree that goalkeepers get slack, in fact, probably the most scrutinised position on the pitch.
Doesn’t make it any less dangerous at all, like I said previously it’s small margins for keepers, had the attacker caught the ball he’d have made a very brave save, had he stood on his lines fans would be saying he bottled it.
All I’m saying is that is how keepers at this level are taught to react to that type of chance, all keepers do it, close the gap, make themselves big, spread and go forward

I wasn’t there as it was a non-parent event, he was looked after by physio’s and that.That is terrible no one went up to your son. Unbelievable. That’s the kind of situation where you’re not exactly going to go up to the opposition and start anything but I don’t know if I could stop myself from saying something like “yeah, my son, the player who’s leg got snapped in 2, is hopefully ok, thanks for asking”
I’ve witnessed a similar incident watching my brother play rugby and this kid on the other team shin snapped in 2 but even the parents on our side were going up to the coaches after the game to ask after him. Shit even I wanted to and I was 10/11 at the time.
Has actually made me quite pissed off reading that and I don’t even know you or your son. . Bang out of order. I actually agree with Japhet on this matter but now you’ve got me emotionally invested I’m siding with you now.

The red card was recinded on appeal. It wasn't even a yellow imo.Its unfortunate but then a lot of leg breakers are, remember Son on Gomes, rightly sent off on that one,
