Papahet Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 How have I made a big deal? I merely stated he should just move on and focused on his side projects (fashion, arts, music, baking cakes with his wife..) Instead of 1) risk further injury 2) waste his life on the training pitch when he could be doing one of his many side projects and 3) to put everyone's mind at rest and move on. To get bombarded with ridiculous comments such as "you don't pay his wages" "you have no soul " "what's it to you?" Overreaction or what? Its common sense to retire from playing and live a happy healthy life, than attempt to play again and risk screwing the knee up and live like a hermit for another three years.

eddie Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We should have cut our losses when his contract ended. To give him another contract after his injury was bad business sense. We should have supported him and offered the use of our facilities through his recovery but waited to see how it all went before offering him a contract. It might not have been the best business decision from a strict, hard-nosed point of view, but it was the RIGHT thing to do. The fact that you are the only person on here who thinks the way you do actually makes me feel pretty good about my fellow Rams fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Probably the same folk who believed Tyson was the answer to our prayers, Sammon was a footballer, sacking Clough was wrong, Rush is nothing more than a bald headed tosspot and Mcclaren was a clown But hey, opinions eh?

Boycie Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Can anyone answer me this question? If a Derby fan who'd had a Season Ticket for say, 30years, suddenly became ill, lost his job as a result and couldn't afford to go to watch his beloved rams anymore, would the club pay for his season ticket for 2 years as a gesture of good will while he recovered enough to maybe return to work?

I fail to see the relevance. If you war injured at work doing your job and were sacked, then it's straight to the industrial tribunal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, there's a difference between a customer and an employee. Best you could hope for is a free away membership and Brentford tickets.

robglosta Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 What if a solider is injured on the front line, does the army not have a duty of care to assist in any rehabilitation which is needed and provide resettlement should they have to retire from the forces? They should, and they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 You can't compare normal professions to being a professional footballer. It's so different.

Bridgford Ram Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Slightly off topic but someone mentioned it. I do think Barker would get in our current side and strengthen it (next to Keogh). What was so bad about the injury, I know there was dislocation of the knee and I assume there was ligament damage but what was the actual damage?

Wasn't there a compound fracture of the kneecap too, I know his surgeon said he'd never seen that amount of damage outside of a road traffic accident?

What was so bad about the injury, I know there was dislocation of the knee and I assume there was ligament damage but what was the actual damage? without being too graphic and unscientific but, it would be a miracle playing at this level again. his knee was at a right angle, but off to the side. all the ligaments and whatnot that hold the leg together and that where torn apart... unattached. its as bad as it gets for a sports person i'd imagine. but even if he gets himself fit enough to have a kick abaht with his kids he's done well. if YOU or ME do that to your knee. you aint going to kick owt again. you've got a limp and a fear of the cold forever more. fair play to him and well done Derby for doing the right thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
