Don’t usually post about these issues but as a player in the South V Uni game I think to post an image of when a major significant injury occurred is not appropriate not necessary at all. I appreciate all the work you do Walter but I think this should be reconsidered
Pretty poor to post that photo in my opinion. Cheers
Both lower leg bones broken, Josh in good spirit. Will be operated on tomorrow morning then start his journey to recovery.
👍 agree
The photo shows no trauma, have a look at South Hobart’s Facebook page and see what they posted.
Fantastic coverage of the weekend as usual Walter. Keep on doing an amazing job for the Tasmanian soccer community by capturing those highs and lows of the game, always with professionalism. Unfortunately injuries are part of the game as we all know, otherwise no one would play. We all wish Josh a speedy recovery and know that you do too.
Exactly!
Absolutely...without Walter, Rhodesy and Tanner there is very little coverage of our games.
Once again great coverage of the game from you Walter. For those being critical , the photo is before. It's actually a great photo. Hope the young fella heals well and gets back on the pitch.
Thanks again Walter. Without you there's no decent coverage of the game in Tasmania. Hopefully we have something else in place before you retire.
Could someone inform me what fft position is on who is the eventual winner is it the team finishing on top after 21 rounds or the winner of the finals?is the final game a cup final or a grand final?what happens in the a league?
It’s a sad reflection on referee education and standards in this state that the foul leading to the horrific injury to a player (in the Sth v Uni game) yesterday was only considered to be a Yellow card. Whether the player meant it or not, it has to be considered reckless (at best) and if due to poor technique needs to be remedied. Maybe next time a player gets sent off for swearing, they should just say it was accidental?
Player safety (and the application of rules that support it) needs to be taken more seriously by all of us! IMHO
I was at the game. The challenge was a through ball 50/50 in a very muddy field which striker and keeper both had a right to go for. Whether striker got first touch on ball or not the keeper held his ground in the split second and both went in bravely. The striker got injured in the fall after the 50/50. Hope the striker recovers well and keeper was not to blame.
If it was 50/50 then why was a foul and yellow card awarded?
The winner is the team on top after 21 rounds.
Don't use logic. It confuses people on here.
Absolutely rubbish, that’s the 3rd incident this year where a player had had their leg broken due to a reckless challenge by a goalkeeper. The precedent needs to be set that if you come and don’t get any ball then it has to be a red card! If the tackle on the weekend was done by any other outfield player and used “excessive force” like that which resulted in a broken leg they would 100% have been sent off. The referee needs to be educated better because that decision what horrible
Clearly you weren’t at the game, keeper has every right to go for that ball as does the striker accidents happen. Yes the refereeing is poor in Tasmania hence probably the reason why the yellow and foul was given. it’s a game where injury’s happen if there was no risks taken no one would play the sport.
Look at the photo he’s got the ball, explain how it ends up in the air from a pass along the ground…
I was certainly at the game. Of course the goalkeeper has every right to go for the ball. However, Law 12 applies to goalkeepers too!
“SERIOUS FOUL PLAY
A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.
Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.”
Pretty sure breaking another players leg would suggest the method of challenge endangered his opponent. The referee clearly saw it as a foul. It is therefore only the sanction which can be questioned.
Sorry for using logic again!
BTW - Serious Foul Play is within the scope of a Red Card offence - NOT Yellow
I bleated on at length for a few years here as 'mr Darcy' about back to player sliding challenges.. I won't start again as I received not one line of support during that time, just lines like ' haven't you ever seen an international game ' ' don't you have a TV 'etc etc .
. I will repeat however ..that I consider it not a matter of if, but when, that back to player sliding challenges are considered not just a free kick but a cardable offence.
Josh Schofield would not presently be at home with a broken leg if that keeper had some idea how to execute a sliding tackle. His technique is not his fault it's just the blind stupidity of global football culture that has allowed this practice to enter the game and become a normality...and I'm really not optimistic that that is going to change any time soon. Anyone with the power to foster change is by necessity IMMERSED in that culture, that normality, so are blind to how gobsmackingly stupid and dangerous the practice is.
So I fear there will be a lot of Josh Schofield's sitting out seasons or worse unnecessarily before sanity prevails .. and who knows, maybe Walter's photo will just play some tiny part in that process.
Was the foul inside the Box?
If so it can only be a yellow and a penalty.
I agree with you. Player safety is all our responsibility and it is unfortunate that we have poor cultural attitudes towards it - which d doesn’t help when we can’t even get our referees to apply appropriate sanctions using rules designed to encourage safety.
Incorrect. The referee has the authority to issue a red card for serious foul play in or outside the penalty box
Those that actually were at the match would have seen the keeper get to the ball first, certainly without any malice. Looked a hard but fair 50/50 challenge on a very muddy and boggy ground, but you’re looking for issues that aren’t there if you’re implying otherwise. Love the armchair experts judging from a still image though, probably the same ones that have never played the game.
Anonymous 6:50pm I’m afraid you are making some very poor assumptions here. Maybe read the initial post?
If the referee saw this as a 50/50, then no foul and play on (and yes a very unfortunate accident).
However, this is not what occurred and not the point of this discussion.
FACT: The referee determined this was a foul (rightly or wrongly) - awarding a yellow card and a penalty! My point is pretty simple. Based on the laws of the game (already outlined previously), the appropriate sanction from the referee should have been a Red card.
Red card? Not necessarily at all - anyway the referee judged the foul reckless rather than serious foul play - in which case yellow.
"Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned
Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off."
Maybe you should take a closer look at the definition of Serious Foul Play
How much more excessive force do you need to apply if it isn’t considered excessive force when a players leg is broken. Absolute donut
