Not quite as bad as the David Busst one, there was no blood on the sock so it didn't seem to break the skin. At least no chance of infection. With Busst, they had to spread a bucket of sand in the penalty area before they could play on.

That one was as bad as I've ever seen. Ward's was a bad one too.

Looking at Chev on the stretcher on the way out, I thought I saw blood, although it could have been the team colours. Either way, an absolutely horrific injury. Hopefully it was a clean break and there are no complications.

Contrast the reaction of the Leeds fans to a serious injury of an opposition player when compared to the ambulance 'chants' that Ryan Bailey was subjected to by numerous Robins fans, when he was carried off in a neck brace after a similar lengthy suspension in play at Craven Park earlier in the season ?

Come on fella, the guy has broken his leg. I couldnt give a shiny excrement who this guy plays for, professional or amatuer, he was playing the best game ever invented and therefore should have the best wishes of all who watch rugby league.

Must admit, slightly in awe of him, and all SL players after that. You can guarantee a wendyball player would be rolling around screaming and losing it. Chev gets his share of stick from fans but he's risen in my estimations after tonight.

Hard s, the lot of 'em.

And nor could I ... That's not the issue here and I hope the player concerned returns to the greatest game. I was contrasting the actions of Leeds fans to the actions of Rovers fans I witnessed first-hand when an opposition player is seriously injured.

I'm pretty sure there was some blood but not a huge amount. One report I read claimed it was a compound fracture.

Just watching the match report on BBC news and the words used about the injury are that it is "too horrific to show in full".

According to them it was operate on last night so hopefully everything goes smoothly from here on in.

Im sure you would be rolling around in pain too. Your post sounds as if you are berating footballers for the way they react to such breaks.

Hope he makes a full recovery. Got the ful off-season to get it all sorted.

i swear i heard it crack on the tv...anyone else?

Well they do if it their manicure that breaks.

Swan dives are us!

Horrible one that, and such an innocuous tackle, I wondered what Senior was panicing about at first. Hope he makes a full and quick recovery.

The fact that it was actually on his shin might make things a bit less complicated hopefully. When it's an ankle or whatever these things can be very bad but hopefully it will just be a case of realigning it and putting a few pins in there.

In all fairness when Eduardo did the same thing last year he didn't make a scene about it.

Horrible injury - best wishes to him for a full recovery.
