All the best to the lad and hope its a speedy recovery.

No, and neither do you. He used the common idiom "I'm not saying xxxx ... BUT"; we're all familiar with it, you are, and it implied that there may well have been a link. (He wasn't saying there definitely [iwas[/i... BUT").

Otherwise, he's randomly thrown drinks intervals in even though he thinks it's got nothing to do with the thread. And on the basis that it clearly hasn't, that's my last response on this point.

Its clearly hard to say sorry, I took it the wrong way and over reacted.

Yeah, luckily it isnt SO FAR as bad as Fabrice Muamba. But still we should pray for him and his family and hope he gets well soon.

I echo all previous comments

It certainly appears that way doesn't it.

My thoughts are with Adrian Purtell and his family and here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Shaggoth's post clearly asks posters to refrain from having a go at each other. As a result I've deleted subsequent messages that seemed to miss the point.

It's quite simple. Stay on topic.

Best wishes to him, hope he has a speedy recovery.

You're totally and utterly wrong.

Wising Adrian all the best for a full recovery.

About what you think? You wrote what you wrote, and you now understand what your post implied. I am happy to accept that you didn't intend to, and that you don't, in fact, link the lack of a drinks break with what happened to Purtell. Let's leave it at that.

Is there any more news?

He has been discharged from LGI Hospital and is now resting up at home. He will have a heart scan in 4 weeks time and will know more about the possibility of playing again after this. He looked pretty shook up when I spoke to him though.

His mum, dad and sister are here looking after him, and Joel Monaghan and Trent Waterhouse have just gone round for a coffee.

Thats the latest...
