VPjr Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 skull fractures for soccer players very often = end of career. this is really bad news for Hume. Best of luck to him and my thoughts go out to his family. Get well soon man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 His condition deteriorated on Sunday and he was taken in for surgery Sunday? Barnsley had Sheffield at Oakwell on Saturday. So he sub'd out injured, gets sent home, has some supper and wakes after the aspirin has worn off to find that he's feeling bad enough to go to the hospital. Oi. Not suggesting anyone on the Barnsley staff missed anything, Hume is a tough little so-and-so but Geez. He got his skull rung. Send him in as a precautionary.

I noticed on Saturday that Hume got subbed out of the game halfway during the 1st half but couldn't find very much on what the reasoning was or possible injury till I saw it on the BBC this morning.

Toronto MB Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well I hope you're not right on this one VP. Obviously the first priority is for Hume to stabilize his condition and get back to normal health, before we even talk about football. But anyone who watches Hume play week-in week-out will know that he is a man who loves his football. Lets pray this won't rob him of what is still a long career ahead of him. He is an absolute warrior, it would appear that he even got to his feet and walked off the pitch following the elblow he received. Just what you would expect of a real Canadian footballer.

However, skull fractures are a different beast from the run of the mill concussion. My wish is to see Hume back on the pitch next season, fit and ready to score goals.

The Ref Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 FIFA recently changed the rules making elbows to the head and automatic red card, but it seems this referee did not get the memo or did not attend the refresher course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villus Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I've had a few head injuries and I can attest they are fairly scary and you just are'nt the same for a while after especially the way that Humey plays. Hope he gets well soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I've seen the collision on TV and I don't think there was any malicious intent on Chris Morgan's part. He didn't thrust his arm into Hume's face. He just stuck his arms as he was about to jump for a high ball, as usually happens, and Hume ran into him.

sstackho Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 FWIW, this is the top story on the BBC Sport football page at the moment. Scary stuff. Hope you get well, Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keano Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Nice to see TSN feature Iain on their main page, someone over there gives a $hit. Get well soon Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Here's hoping Iain gets well soon from what sounds like a properly serious injury. (These are the kinds of things the Voyageurs should be sending cards for...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Man we are getting too many Canucks on the injury list! Head injuries can be very deceiving so the team medics might not have had much to go on. Given Hume's nature they may have not realized how bad it was. Get well soon!

lowlander Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Terrible stuff. Far too young to be in such a situation ... here's hoping for the quickest recovery possible for Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rujulus Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 That's terrible. Thuggish of the other guy to go after him to the extent that staff had to ask the referee to intercede, and it ended like that. Hope that justice is served, and a full recovery for Iain. Of course you can imagine not wanting to go up for the ball as much after some guy f'ed up your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag futbol Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I really hate the some of this thug play from the lower divisions, and you only have to look as far as this for a reason why. Guy has his skull fractured and the dumb ass who did it pretends to be nice about it after and call to check on his condition. You don't fracture a guys skull by accident, you go in with the intent to injure somebody and the 1 time out of a 100 when something bad happens you pretend you didn't intend it. He should be banned for at least the rest of the schedule, but we all know that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 So far the only poster who has seen the collision has said that there wasn't any malicious intent, the posters who haven't see it should be carefull about what they say about the other player involve until they see the video. I wish Hume a speedy recovery and that he can get back to his normal fitness in the near future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
