Who says everyone would have. Football is big business these days. They could have dragged it out and forced the official to make the decision whilst the crowd is wondering what the hell is going on and then if there was a legal basis appeal against the ref mucking up their winning game.

Instead they decided instantly and made it easier for everyone.

Yeah, well done Forest, but surely anyone would have abandoned the match after a player has just technically died in a dressing room and the opposing team are completely shell shocked and their manager is in floods of tears and unable to talk?

Shame for them, because they were dicking us.

“…….Yet the mind goes back to 1999, and to the prophecy of Emmanuel Petit, then a World Cup winner with France and a dynamic, physically powerful defender with the London club Arsenal. "We will all have to take drugs to survive the demands of domestic, European and international fixtures," Petit had said. "Some footballers already do." He was certified as virtually insane. FIFA, the overlord of world soccer, dismissed Petit's view. The Professional Players Union in England called him to name names, or keep his mouth shut…..”

he second-round clash was abandoned at the break after the 27-year-old had lost consciousness in the dressing room.

Clarke, who joined the Foxes on loan from Sunderland earlier this month, received treatment from paramedics at the City Ground but regained consciousness and was taken to hospital in Nottingham.

Agent Gary Mellor told BBC Radio Stoke: "Clive is sitting up and talking and he is going to have more tests at the hospital on Wednesday afternoon.

"They won't give us any idea as to when he will be released. They don't want to tell us any more until they know exactly what happened.

"It appears Clive's heart stopped twice and mouth-to-mouth didn't work so the paramedics had to use a defibrillator.

"His family are very upset, especially after what happened with the Sevilla player Antonio Puerta dying recently. We just hope he's going to be OK."

I heard that it went off a bit when some Forest were chanting "Cheats" at Leicester.

Well I'm a lawyer and I'll answer that .... the answer is yes because what you've said contains a clear implication that Clarke took banned substances and that they were responsible for his medical condition.

I couldn't give a toss if you get sued, but I don't want Urban to get grief just because of what some halfwit starts suggesting without any basis.

I didnt say he took drugs though. at any point.

[ChrisFilter]

No, you implied it.

 

[kained&able]

i perfer speculated that he and others might have or that something else is cauing it.

Oh fuck it i cant be arsed anymore. If i did imply that i didnt really mean to. Its not a big stretch that lots of players falling over during games is a drugs thing though.
