Thats what rex said.
I feel physically ill.
Im going to bed.
No emoticon can describe
-
Why is it always our best player that gets injured and injured badly? :'(
Likewise Ox I feel sick to the stomach.
I can handle the loss as bad as it is as is it's only one week and we were beaten by a better side. But Browny snapping his leg is sickening. Feel empty as anything.
I haven't seen it but going by Rex it's a season ending snap of his leg at best :'( :'( :'(. Hopefully it's not career ending :'(.
-
Browny's leg snapped in two places. Just annouced on 3aw :'(
-
broken in 2 places supposedly. this is shocking for browny...i actually feel ill!
-
When did this happen? We have delayed telecast - only 2nd quarter.
-
Julz it happend in the last bloody quarter when the game was gone :banghead.
Matthew Whelan came across Browny's right leg to smother the ball and Browny's leg gave way. A break in both the tibia and fibia (sp?).
-
Dr Pete Larkins said at least a six month recovery. Boyle at Hawthorn did the same thing and was out for 12 months :help.
Luke Darcy said he did the same thing as a 17 year old in a ruck contest (had a clean break) and was in a cast for 4 months and 10 months on crutches.
-
I haven't had the guts to watch the replay of the incident - just felt so sick i turned my head away, i couldn't watch it.
Thanks Browny for all the excitement you have given us this year - you didn't deserve something like this to happen and hope you have a speedy recovery.
Memories came flooding back of Jamie Lawson from the Swans after he broke his leg against us i think it was. They mentioned this on 3AW on the way home on the radio and said he had a similar injury to Browny, and not only did it finish his career, virtually made him a cripple. They said he sued his surgeon because of the job he did on him.
But they also talked about the use of titanium and how this has speeded up recovery in breaks - seems to knit better or something. Hopefully when X gets on board he can tell us more on the medical side and what Browny will go through in his recouperation.
I feel really crappy - i think i mozzed him putting money on him for the Brownlow only today. The money i care the least about, but will hesitate before i put any more money on any of our players again ???
-
im shattered..... i dont feel like doing anything at all this weekend... it always happens to us..im sick of it... i cant stand the emotions of football anymore... i know it happens to all teams.. but i just feel we seem to never have anyting go our way... i bet when he returns, he just aint the same... footy can be so cruel...

Broken Brown out for the season
28 May 2005
Herald Sun
Mark Robinson
SICKENING scenes of gun forward Nathan Brown cradling a leg with the bone snapped in half ended a disastrous night for Richmond at Telstra Dome last night.
The Tigers were mauled by 57 points – 20.11 (131) to 11.8 (74) – for their third loss, but worse, will lose their premier match-winner for the remainder of the season.
Brown was accidentally fallen on by Melbourne opponent Matthew Whelan after he had wheeled on to his his favourite left for a shot at goal. Whelan's momentum as he attempted to spoil carried him over Brown's right leg.
It was confirmed after the match the fibula and tibia bones had snapped in half and he was taken to Vimy House to be operated on immediately.
So comprehensive was the break that the bone could be seen pushing against the skin.
That scene was not unlike the incident involving Michael Voss at Subiaco in 1998. Voss also snapped the bone and, like Brown, could see his leg at right angles.
The popular Brown, with teammates Matthew Richardson and Wayne Campbell standing over him, seemed in shock, showing no visible signs of pain as he lay on the ground.
He sat there, his two arms supporting is dangling right leg, waiting for medical assistance.
Coach Terry Wallace was visibly shattered post-match, asking, on his way down from the coaching box, the extent of Brown's injury.
Wallace, a close friend of Brown's, said he could not watch the replay on the TV.
"You know him as a person probably closer than anyone else," Wallace said. "I've got a really strong relationship with him and at the time I didn't really want to see it.
"The guys, as soon as they saw it, just their expressions was enough for me not to even look at it.
"Obviously, I knew he was gone and he was in trouble so I didn't even have a look at it.
"It's been a disastrous night for everyone at the club, but unfortunately that's the nature of the business we're in.
"But as I said to the boys we've got to try to keep the spirits in the place up and that's the responsibility of us as a playing group."
The atmosphere in the rooms was one of devastation.
Brown's business adviser Oberon Pirak was there and told officials Brown's mother had rang him asking for information.
Tigers football director Greg Miller described the incident as sickening.
Club doctor Greg Hickey also seemed stunned by the extent of the injury, and fielded inquiries from president Clinton Casey and Miller.
He administered Brown pethidine in the rooms.
"He'll probably have a rod put down the tibia to fix it, possibly a plate as well," Hickey said. "Basically you have to fix that fracture in the correct position and it looked like that shouldn't be too hard to do, but then the bone's got to heal.
"He certainly was very calm, but I think he was in pain. Brownie is very tough, and he is very much in control, but I'm sure he was in a lot of pain. It certainly is one of the worst."
Commentator Brian Taylor, a specialist coach at Richmond, was in the rooms when Brown was brought in on the stretcher.
Taylor was amazed at Brown's calmness and ability to communicate. "He was calm. He was in complete control. He was talking openly to anyone who wanted to talk to him," Taylor said.
"He couldn't believe it when he looked down and saw the leg pointing in the opposite direction and that's why he refused to look at it from that point in time because he knew he was in trouble. I've never seen anything like it."
Brown's teammates, Campbell and Richardson, also were shattered post-match.
"I saw his leg, I knew it wasn't good," Campbell said.
"I just wanted to check if he was OK. I knew he wasn't OK, but I just asked if he was all right, which is probably a pretty stupid question.
"He actually looked calm. I don't know if it was shock or what it was, but he looked calm and I didn't expect that."
Said Richardson: "You're flat as a tack when you see when one of your mates down like that. He obviously was in a bit of shock and I don't think he probably knew what was going on."
Richardson panicked when the umpire stopped the game for the stretcher. "I thought something was wrong and then they showed the replay and you could see from that something had happened."
Calling on Channel Nine, Eddie McGuire, a good friend of Brown's, said he had tears in his eyes.
"It absolutely took all the spirit out of us. We were calling a great game. We were so excited, and as a commentator and football lover, seeing that, I was shattered," McGuire said.
"I actually had tears in my eyes when I saw it. Maybe because I know Brownie so well and I know what his footy means to him, but no doubt it was unbelievable."

I haven't had the guts to watch the replay of the incident - just felt so sick i turned my head away, i couldn't watch it.
If anyone hasn't seen it and you get a queezy stomach easily watching such things then don't watch it. Ch 9 replayed it umpteenth times with each camera angle more graphic in showing the bent leg than the previous shot :P. Poor Browny was suffering shock as he didn't flinch and was surreally calm. He must have been in shocking pain :'(.
Hopefully like Voss, the breaks join and heal properly and Browny recovers fully with no lingering problems afterwards for his own sake. That's the most important thing.
-
I have never experienced the emotions I had than what I felt when I saw Browny go down.
I was absolutely shocked and felt quite ill.
I couldnt believe what I had just seen.
Then the tears starting welling up in my eyes.
I never thought something like this could affect me.
I wish Nahan all the best. No one deserves this.
-
I shed a few tears tonight when it happened, then towards the end of the match we saw them wheel Brown into the Ambulance I had to get up and walk out of the room so I didnt ball my eyes out.
The Tigers have given me so much joy this year and in one quick moment that whole feeling has been evaporated and I'm still numb.
I'm absolutely gutted, I cant even imagine how Brown is feeling tonight.
So devastated.
-
I'm stuffed.
Voss wasnt the same player he was after his injury and most likely,niether will Brown.
This is a sad day for football.
As far as the Tiges go...I just give up.
I went to sleep hoping it was just a bad dream..
There is no God
-
The AFL Newsdeck only showed a tiny bit of what happened - the rest they said was too horrific to show.
-
Im having a really bad day.
-
Ive had enough of football guys.
I cant take this crap.
I just saw the incident.
He wont play again.
What a sad,sad,sad day.
I feel like someone has died.
I'll c u guys around.
catch ya round,
Ox

I thought a sleep would do me good, but i've just woken up feeling absolutely numb and shattered.
2nd in the Coleman
3rd favourite in the Brownlow
Playing his guts out for his club when something like this happens
One of the cruellest things I've seen in footy
To more than likely snuff out such a promising career in one second.
I feel exactly the same Ox - I'm not gonna quit the Tiges, but feel very ordinary at the moment.
Hope you're feeling better soon Ox and Browny's life can return to normal as quickly as possible
:'(

Fractured Tibia and Fibula (Broken Lower Leg Bones) with Fixation Surgery.
This medical illustration series pictures the bones of the right lower leg revealing
pre-operative displaced fractures of the tibia and fibula. Additional surgical images reflect the following:
1. Incision into the anterior knee region with a drill reaming the tibial canal,
2. Insertion of an intramedullary rod-nail, and finally
4. Post-operative view with fixation hardware in place.

I think you're right unfortunately, Ox.
He will be lucky if he walks properly again.
And for once in my life i'm not thinking how this will affect Richmond, genuinely care just for his well being.
I feel sorry for all his team mates too - they must be shattered for him.
-
As someone who follows other sports like soccer...and knows about players like Gybrl Cisse and others...when i saw it i had my doubts that Browny would play footy again, I hope it turns out ok. Give the guy every encouragement...geez this has been a poo 24 hrs
-

Me too mate.
Nathan was something special.
I feel sick.
-
On 3aw now Ox - cos i know you're in the wilderness and not getting much info.
Surgery went well – fixed with a nail inside the bone and all went well.
Resting and will be in hospital for a few days.
More ike a car accident than a footy accident.
Six months injury and possibly longer
Browny was asking clear lucid questions and says he’ll just get on with it and deal with it.
Yze said the tiger players were stunned by the injury and disheartened
Richo visited him this morning and said he was in good spirits.
He’s in Vimy House
We'll try and keep you and other o/s ppl up to date as much as we can
-
David King visited Browny – in good spirits but quiet.
Ppl in the box couldn’t comprehend what had happened and it was pretty quiet in there
Says Nathan will do everything he can to get over it – a quality person and a real hard worker.
Gerard Healy said he spoke to a few orthopaedic surgeons and they said it will probably take up to 12 months before running again.
Joel Bowden got through the game okay – still lots of swelling but he will be okay.
-
Thanx love.
If u get news on the actual breaks would love to know.
I thought he may have broken the Tibia in 2 places from the pic i saw of it and that is what worried me.
The fibula i was unsure of.
-
Voss broke his leg in 1998 - the fact that he was able to recover is the only thing that I'm hanging onto at the moment. As soon as it happened I stood up and turned away as I didn't want to see the replay and I hope I never see it on tv.
Dale Weightman spoke on SEN and confirmed that they were "clean" breaks and I think this is the best aspect of a shocking scenario.
Ox - keep your chin up mate - we are all sharing your pain -

Sorry 4 carrying on like an old queen everyone.
I guess I've just gone into shock.
Was up till 5 am here,listening to game on the net.
When I heard Brown was injured,and going by the tones of the commentators voices
it was not a normal injury, I waited to hear BTs update and he just sounded gutted,
AW was just as sombre.
Sounded like parents tryimg to hide bad things from children only
they couldn't contain themselves.
Must be horrific to watch and I dont think i will be any thime soon.
It's a car wreck injury and my heart goes out to the guy.
-
I caight the incident on the way home from the game.
I stopped off to get something to eat and it had just taken place on the TV, to see the way in which Brown's leg was "hanging" was very gut wrentching.
I am glad that they chose not to show any of those pictures at the ground.
Hopefully the boys rally together and really stick tight.
Someone will step up and do the job. I would like to see Shultz given a crack at playing Full Forward for a few weeks.
I remember the year that Richo done his knee in Sydney. All of the boys rallied and had a great year. Hopefully it can happen again.
Go Tigers.
-
I got home from the pub ratarsed and caught the third quarter on the telly. Fell asleep at 3 qtr time so missed it. Is there any video of the incident? Sounds pretty terrible. Poor bastard.
This is the worst broken leg I have ever seen, how does it compare?
(http://www.wastednetwork.com/wn_archive/images/main/wn_main_busst.gif)
-
same i think
-
effenell.
I'm shattered for him. Lets hope he can make it back. Hope it doesn't leave too many mental scars around the club.
Some prior cases below. These are soccer players and it is difficult to know how much harder it would be in a sport where the grounds are harder and there is a greater risk of severe physical contact. I would guess it is 50/50 for him to come back as an elite footballer.
David Busst (Coventry City) - Pic Above
Everyone remembers the horror picture with Peter Schmeichel, the Manchester United goalkeeper, turning a whiter shade of pale at the sight of Busst’s terrible injury at Old Trafford. He made 48 appearances for Coventry City, two as substitute, between 1992 and 1996, scoring four league goals. Never played again.
Henrik Larsson
From the BBC, 1999. FTR Larsson went on and played another 4 seasons and became a club legend with Celtic and then moved to Barcelona.
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/480000/images/_481866_larsson300.jpg)
The horrific leg injury suffered by Celtic striker Henrik Larsson should not affect his future playing career, his club have confirmed.
John Barnes: "It's a bad injury, but at least it's not as bad as it looked"
The Swedish international, who broke his leg 11 minutes into the Glasgow side's Uefa cup defeat in France, is due to undergo surgery on Saturday to repair the damage.
Manager John Barnes said after the game with Lyon that the disappointing 1-0 loss was overshadowed by the player's injury.
"It was a sickening moment, it really put a dampener on the whole of the night - regardless of the score," said Barnes.
Alison Walker reports: "The injury to Larsson has overshadowed the result"
He confirmed that Larsson would miss the rest of the season but he added that the injury should not pose a long-term problem.
"Henrik will be operated on and we will see what the state of play is after that. I expect him to be playing again in the not too distant future.
"It is a fairly standard operation, we don't anticipate any long-term damage and I am sure he will come back in the course of time," said Barnes.
"What you saw was Henrik's shinpad," Barnes said. "I also thought it was disfigurement of the leg, but in fact it was his shinpad which had slipped to one side.
"So while it is bad, it looked worse than it was."
The club hope that if the striker's recovery goes to plan he will be back on the pitch for the start of next season.
Larsson was stretchered off in agony after he attempted to challenge Lyon's Serge Blanc.
His left leg was limp at the base, and the concern among his fellow players was immediately obvious.
After the match it was revealed to be a double fracture, reminiscent of the career-ending injury suffered by Coventry's David Busst in 1996.
Paul Elliot: "I am sure Henrik will be determined to get back to full health"
Former Celtic defender Paul Elliot, whose career was brought to an end after he suffered severe ligament damage of the left knee, had words of encouragement for Larsson.
He said: "Fifteen year ago a bad leg injury would have seen the end of a career.
"But things have improved - surgery techniques have got better, training facilities have got better and the quality of the surgery which is carried out has got better.
"If Henrik has the self-belief there is no reason why he can't recover fully."
The Swede has been a revelation since joining Celtic from Feyenoord two years ago for just £600,000.
Saturday's 7-0 win over Aberdeen saw him pass 50 league goals for the club, while there have been rumours of £10m bids for the dreadlocked striker.
There was a four minute delay while Larsson was treated on the pitch and stretchered away to be replaced by Mark Burchill as the match struggled to regain its early momentum.
It is now expected that Burchill will become the first team replacement while Larsson recovers
Djibril Cisse - 2004
Is playing again and time well tell.
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/graphics/2004/10/31/sfgbla31.jpg)
Luc Nilis - double fracture in 1999. Tried for a year, but never played again.
-
looks like it snapped off.
-
So we are closest to David Busst, which doesn't bode well.
-
His foot almost looks cut off from that pic.
I hope he can get back to near 100% but there's a 'good' chance he won't.
The difference between Nathan Brown and Michael Voss is that Nathan Brown relies heavily on leg speed and twisting and dogding ability. Voss was always your bulky inside player and a broken leg didn't force him to alter his style of play much.
-
Sad day.
-
ROFLFMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a pretty bad injury that bloke's done himself.
-
stuff..
I just saw that pic.
I gather the prick who posted the original pic changed it.
-
As much as players are up for praise and criticism, at times like this, it makes you think about the amount of work they do and the sacrifices they make just to play at the level.
After all that, it doesn’t really guarantee them anything. But as with anything, I guess it’s the hard times that make the good times so good.
Fingers and everything else crossed that Browny comes back better than ever.
-

Absolutely spot on JF.
I feel if he is does come back he will be a much different player.
-
Now I could be completely wrong here but I was told earlier today that George Gregan from the Wallabies had spiral fractures in his broken leg and now there is some talk that he'll be available to play in the Tri-Nations series later this year. Spiral fractures, I think, are worse than a compound fracture (x could clarify this) as the break is in a spiral, circular formation.
-
Nathan Brown was interviewed by phone on The Sunday Footy Show
Not feeling the greatest – first time he’s seen the incident and it was sickening.
Was in a bit of shock – the leg was numb at the time the incident happened. Thought of Jason Snell, and wondering if he would ever play again.
Rehab starting soon swimming etc. Hopes to come back next year
Will help Pettifer, Deledio, Krakouer and the like to try and keep the spirits up around the place.
Can remember kicking the ball and Whelan falling across him, but everything after that seems a bit weird.
Lots of visitors and text messages and well wishes.
He sounded good for those who didn’t hear him and in good spirits.
-
I think it will take time but Brown will be OK. That's what Dr Peter Larkins reckons and he knows his cookies from his biscuits :thumbsup
A positive was the fact they were able to re-align both breaks and when they inserted the rod they only had to to use a minimum of screws (because the breaks were clean) I got told all this yesterday at an 11 y.o.'s birthday while eating cake - errrr.. delightful :-\
-
I feel stupid for carrying on but i guess it was just an honest re-action from my thespian side.
I had a family member break every bone in the right side of her body when she lost control of
her car and wrapped it around a telegraph pole.
Seeing not only her,but all the other patients in the rehab clinic is a sight that will
be with me forever.
For some reason I assumed Browns injury to be like this.
I used to be tough,but then i realised we all die.

Not your thespian side, is you human side, Oxman.
Being so far away and not knowing what’s going on, and having a favourite player struck down like this, bound to bring up memories. I’m sorry I put that reference to being like a car accident which brought up this memory for you, but that’s how it was described. I hope your relative is ok now.
I used to be tough,but then i realised we all die.
Afraid so – just live it to the best you can while you’re here.
And i'm feeling more and more confident now that I've heard Nathan - he is only little, but a tough little bugger :thumbsup
-
He rocks.
(Thanx Mama F)

(Thanx Mama F)
I'm taking that as Mother Froars :lol :rollin

I work in Opertaing Theatres as a Technician, and i see these injuries come into our Ortho Theatre all the time... its very common, and most ppl make a full recovery.. as its not a mechanical part of the body as much as the knee is.. i would rather he snap his leg than do an ACL, a few of the Ortho surgeons at work were talking about it and they beleive he will make a solid recovery..
i think we just assume the worst because it hurts so much... so we try and talk ourselves into a life without Brown at Tigerland...
he will be back... better than ever...
im gonna lay 100$ on Brown to win the brownlow 2006! :)
-
Thats very reassuring information Kendrick.Thanks :thumbsup
-
Well after all the emotion has died down, I am feeling really guilty.
Once I heard Nathan was going to be fine (fingers crossed) I found myself wishing it had been one of our lesser lights :-[ How bad is that. Not that I would have wished it upon anyone, but if it had to be one, perhaps some one who wasnt firing so well. I'm putting this badly..........if I was a church going person I'd go to confession and confess to being a nasty nasty person :banghead

Actually 2JD, I had the same thought. I missed the incident on telly, and when I saw this topic, I thought geez I hope its Foley. I'm obviously a very bad young man, but somehow, especially when you don't live in Melbourne and attend live games, the players can become plastic soldiers to you.
-
Well kids,I must be getting old and soft.
I was just shattered at the severity of the collision and break
and kind of tuned out for 24 hrs.
Cant say I wished it in anyone,especially Brown :lol
-
When Browny's leg broke I just felt gutted like most Tiger supporters (hence the season over thread :-[) but feeling more positive today after hearing it was clean break and his surgery has gone well with the doctors expecting Browny to make a full recovery. That's the main thing after all. By round 1 next year hopefully this will just be a temporary blip in Richmond's rebuilding phase.
One positive (if you can have one in Browny's circumstances) is that he broke his right leg and not his dominant kicking left leg. So his shooting for goal (in terms of making distances) should be unaffectd you would think. Brendan Lade after he broke his leg twice in two seasons came back and lost about 10m in terms of kicking power (sounds bad but he could kick the footy 65m before the injury so 55m afterwards is still a long kick).
-
1993 - I got hit by a car kingswood) crossing the road. The was doing about 60.
Side-on impact. Fractured Tibia and Fibula. After regaining conciousness, (and being unaware of my leg being shattered) I was telling the people around that I was fine and wanted to get up. Then the pain kicked in. And oh my how it hurt.
Browny's reaction on Friday night was an inspiration.
He is truly a man with the biggest gonads in football.
Aside from calcification around the break, the leg will heal fine. Muscular atrophy will be biggest problem. This is not as bad as an ACL.
Browny will be back, and he has my full support.

Football fan feels Tiger Brown's pain
Michael Warner

A FOOTSCRAY woman received serious head injuries after collapsing at the gruesome sight of Richmond star Nathan Brown's broken leg.
Kasey Burnham, 25, blacked out and struck her head on a window sill and tiled floor while watching the Channel 9 broadcast at home on Friday night.
She received bleeding to the brain and is in a satisfactory condition at The Alfred hospital.
At least one other Melbourne woman required treatment after fainting over the horrific final-quarter incident.
Brown snapped the tibia and fibula in his right leg after an attempted spoil by Melbourne Demons' defender Matthew Whelan.
Whelan said later that he felt sick to the stomach when realising the extent of Brown's injury.
The Richmond forward has since had surgery to insert a 40cm metal rod into his leg and will be sidelined until next season.
Ms Burnham's father Warwick said his daughter collapsed without warning while watching the game with her boyfriend.
"She has a weak stomach . . . but it was a bit of a shock over something as simple as that," he said. "She certainly won't be watching it again."
He said ambulance workers who treated her said another woman in the Footscray area had also fainted after seeing the incident on television.
Ms Burnham is expected to make a full recovery.

:gobdrop :gobdrop her injuries could have ended up worse than Browny's

Got a couple of photos of Browny today via email
This one is unbelievable:
http://tinypic.com/view.html?pic=5kf589
Not for the faint hearted!
-
Thats depressing Bull.
:P
Depressing because it beckons the question
"How can he ever play again?"
Ive seen it b4 and it never gets any easier to look at.
-
It's good to hear some positive reports suggesting that he'll make a full recovery. It will be a tremendous effort if he does.
I'd be happy if he gets back to 90-95 percent of what he was.
lmfaoo@Jake hoping Foley copped it.
-
lmao
-
Gerard Healy said he spoke to a few orthopaedic surgeons and they said it will probably take up to 12 months before running again.
What an amazing recovery by Browny to be where he is in less time than predicted by the experts. From what i saw of him the other day, he seems to be walking almost as if it never happened. And to see him run around mongrel tackling Joel was awesome.
Congratulations to him and the work he's put in - and thank God he had some great surgeons :thumbsup
Memories of how sick we all felt at that time - it was like a death in the family to see someone's career go just like that. Browny had other ideas it seems :clapping
-
I remember watching the game on telly and thinking, we are getting done, I listened on the radio to check and they said about Brown breaking his leg (Whelan) and I didn't hear how severe it was, thought I should watch the rest of the game... needless to say I was shocked, and even thinking of it now, I can see his face, leg, ouch...
Well done to him, he has a bigger drive than I thought. Very competitive and a super effort.
Go Browny! Go Tigers!
-
Never in doubt.
A clean break in the middle of the bone is no where near as bad as a knee reco. If it had been a shattered bone or a break near the ankle or knee joints then different story. In hindsight Rodans injury was far worse. Minimal risk of re-injuring a broken bone.

I was following the soccer overnight and heard one of the Man U players, Allan Smith, had broken his leg and dislocated his ankle in the FA Cup match against Liverpool. The game only had a minute or two to go as well. Made me instantly think of the vision of Browny that horrible night last year.
Smith's injury sounds pretty horrific but I was listening over the net so haven't seen any pics or vision (don't particularly want to either). The reports had Man U teammates nearby recoiling back in horror and Sir Alex Ferguson said it was the worse injury he's ever seen. Just read the British tv didn't zoom in like Ch 9 did with Browny straight after he went down. Smith is normally a bit of a hothead but you've got to feel for any player in that situation. Poor bugger :(.

Gerard Healy said he spoke to a few orthopaedic surgeons and they said it will probably take up to 12 months before running again.
Memories of how sick we all felt at that time - it was like a death in the family to see someone's career go just like that. Browny had other ideas it seems :clapping
Bloody Oath Froarter.
I remember thinking, "Why the stuff does this crap always happen to us"
Was really like a death.

I saw that soccer player MT - unfortunately they didn't give us a frame by frame pic of the incident lol
Nathan is awesome - so glad he's ours :thumbsup

Smith's looked horrbile. United players neally chucked.
In recent times: Smith (Utd), Brown (Richmond), Cissse (Liverpool)

The news showed it briefly tonight. Smith's leg got caught underneath his body as he slid and it just buckled :o :help :(.

I think...
He was running full belt to try and intercept the free kick (which he did..), his studs got caught in the ground and his body went over his leg and twisted... and it snapped.

Yep that's what happened. He's whole bodyweight was forced onto his caught leg and it gave way.

Since when does Browny breaking his leg get classed under "The sporting world's weirdest injuries" ???. And you can vote for your "favourite" in today's Sydney Daily Telegraph :-X.

Just re-reading this thread brings back how absolutely guttered we all were that night. Hopefully Browny can finally put it all behind him this year :pray. Best of all would be a triumphal return to the Dome and a win over the Dees.

why would you want to remind us about this ???
i thought it happened again ...
when Brown went down ...
Richmond went down ...
