3 games MAXIMUM!! and quite rightly so. Eyes on the ball, da silva just nips the ball away, too quick for him. You lot are 'avin a laff' if you think it deserves more than 3 games. If he hadn't been so badly injured, would have only been a yellow. I think birmingham should appeal the red.

Haweksy, like come on mate, that is a ridiculous statement, one of the worst i have read really. Eyes on the ball??? Can you actually sit there and tell me he had eyes on the ball??? How might i ask, can you guarantee the forum he had eyes for the ball when it is quiet obvious that any player looking at a ball at an opponents feet is also looking at that opponents feet/legs??? You cant, so that in itself is a flawed opinion

I think its YOU who is having a laugh if you think it didnt deserve 3 games and i think its you having a bigger laugh, if you think Birmingham should appeal the red card decision!!! In my opinion, that was clearly a STUDS UP tackle and he had no intention of getting the ball because any defender with half a brain would of jockeyed Eduardo, especially knowing the skill level on the guy, not go in like a Bull on heat. That was a malicious challenge of the highest order, and you show no respect whatsoever to the players well being with the statement above. That tackle clean snapped both bones in his leg. It was a sickening challenge with sickening consequences for the player injured.

I propose that FIFA should start handing out suspensions for those sorts of tackles relevant to the injury. Therefor, Taylor should serve a suspension for the length of time it takes Eduardo to get back on the park. If that takes 12 to 24 months, then so be it. Why should that Dirty priiick enjoy his time on the park after he nearly and possibly ended the career of another player???

BAN THE DIRTY BASTARD FOR THE SAME TIME EDUARDO IS OUT OF THE GAME!!!

its excessive but ask how many more players would get their legs broken in the future?

Yes but everyone makes mistakes and in Taylor's case he has made a big mistake which could end a talented players career but still cant give this guy 12 -24 months on the sidelines.

Best post ever.

You are making my points for me. If the ball is at his feet, then clearly the ball is there to be won.

Go away and compare and contrast the other fouls I have highlighted and tell me how they deserve less of a punishment than that one.

I was involved in a challenge 2 seasonsago where a guy ended up with his leg broken in 2 places, operations and in a wheel chair for a while. I believe the guy is still not playing. Should I have been banned for this whole time.

Let the foul deem the punishment, not the injury.

Sorry Chelsea, but truth is this, Eduardo will more than likely never be the same player he was. That being the case, his potential earnings for his career will drop because not many big clubs will chase his services and he will be destined to play for clubs that are middle or lower in the dollar spending. Have a look at Djibril Cisse, he was scoring week in week out for Liverpool until he snapped his leg and then Liverpool got rid of him because he wasnt the same player. He ended up breaking his leg again for France. Eduardos chances of re-breaking that leg will always be high and therefor he would be more of liability to Arsenal or to whomever else is looking to sign him once he gets back from the injury if he ever does of course.

I dont think my proposal is harsh at all. Maybe a harsh reality of what will happen to you, if you tackle like a Donkey, but certainly not harsh in terms of suspension. Think about what this has just done to Eduardos career. Why should players like Taylor earn the maximum monies they can in their careers when they have disadvantaged another players earnings with reckless challenges???

My proposal also like Pires said, would send out the message to these Donkeys that those sorts of tackles are not going to be tolerated at any level of the game, especially at the highest level where they are supposed to be role models for spectators, children and players around the world looking to one day further their careers. You cant honestly tell me that that would be such a bad thing, could you???

I can honestly tell you it's a bad thing. You would make players afraid to ever make a tackle. In the sport that I love, a beautiful tackle is one to behold (who has not marvelled at moore's tackle on pele in 70). If you take tackling out of the game, you win the game.

Your comments on players careers are valid in terms of economics but I counter with, all clubs have insurance to cover such evantualities from the club and the players perspective. PLUS they would normally hold a testimonial in such occurrences as well. Not to mention if we are talking about da silva specifically. What a hardship, I mean 60K ponds a week for the next 3 years of his contract. I'd hate that.

Medically you are also wrong. A broken leg actually heals stronger than the original bone, it actually becomes the strongest part of the leg.

So you are telling me that because the ball was at his feet, Taylor had eyes only for that ball??? You are a clown mate, if thats how you see it, then clearly you are a clown, sorry mate.
The ball is their to won, i agree, but answer these questions, could Taylor have not jockeyed Eduardo??? Could Taylor have not used STUDS UP for his challenge??? And more importantly, did Taylor have any chance of getting that ball??? Mate, dont be blinded by the facts, and the facts are, Taylor laid a challenge with BOTH OF HIS FEET, WITH ALL STUDS SHOWING, IT WAS MALICIOUS, IT WAS RECKLESS, AND IT SNAPPED BOTH BONES IN EDUARDOS LEG, they my friend are the facts of the matter!!!

There is no need for me to compare this with any other tackles because whats not to say those other tackles you talk about werent also not dealt with properly in regards to suspension??? Thats just plain stupid, that is pal.

And the tackle that you laid 2 seasons ago might not have been malicious. There are legs that are broken accidentally, so onec again, stupid and irrelevant. Clearly in the case of Eduardo, he was butchered by a Donkey with no brains, and i stand by the fact that Taylors intent was clear for all to see, and that had nothing to do with playing Football, simple!!!

I'm a clown

First of all, I have never said that becase the ball is at his feet he only has eyes for the ball. But the facts are this, the ball is there to be won, the facts are it is not a punishable offence to not jockey the player.

The facts are, experts such as Mark Lawrenson and Alan Hansen agree with me and disagree with you.

I stand by my opinion that Taylor intended to play the ball but da silva was just too quick for him by pushing the ball away at the last moment.

As I have said

PUNISH THE FOUL, NOT THE INJURY!!

taylors tackle was reckless but it wasnt the worst tackle of all time. far from it.

i have to agree with hawksey on this one.

the bloke's probably feeling pretty bad about the whole situation too.

he deserves a few matches because of the severity of the tackle not because of the severity of da silva's injury.

people tackle hard in the premier league and sometimes legs get broken. wat can i say. should everyone who injures a player be suspended for the length of that player's injury? i dont think so. that would jus be stupid, and taylor's tackle is no different

now hawksey if u dont mind, i shall attempt to catch u on the quiz leader board.

Club releases statement with update on Eduardo injury

The Club can confirm that following the incident during Saturdayâ€™s match at Birmingham City, Eduardo has fractured his left fibula and sustained an open dislocation of his ankle joint in the same leg.

He was immediately taken to Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham where he underwent surgery on Saturday evening. The operation was successful and Eduardo was transferred to a London-based hospital on Sunday afternoon.

Earlier today (Monday 25th February), the Orthopaedic surgeon and Arsenal medical staff assessed the extent of the damage and possible time scale for a full recovery.

All being well, Eduardo will have his leg in plaster and using crutches for the next six to eight weeks. After that time, partial weight-bearing exercises will be scheduled into a slow rehabilitation process.

It is hoped that Eduardo will be running again in six months time and making a full recovery after nine months.

Eduardo will be released from hospital in a few days.

The Arsenal medical team would like to take this opportunity to thank Birmingham City FC for their assistance on the day as well as the surgical and ward staff on S2 at Selly Oak Hospital for their expert medical care.

In addition, and on behalf of Eduardo, the Club would like to thank everyone for their many touching messages of support.
