Ouch - not for the squeamish (football injury)

Holy crap... :(


found this on about the tackle...

A remorseful Felix opened up to www.blackaces.co.za just less than 24 hours after a 50-50 challenge left Ngubule’s leg broken in two places.

In a personally drafted message, Felix’s message came as follows:

"Firstly, let me pass my unreserved apologies to the management of Carara Kicks as well as the family and friends of Oupa. As a sportsman, I have never broken or intended to harm my fellow colleagues in any way in my life. It was never my intention to go out and break his leg – it all happened when we both were going on a 50-50 challenge. People should understand that soccer is a contact sport. At the end of the day such accidents happen in the field of play."

"I did not have a peaceful Sunday night after that incident. My prayers are with the player to recover well and play soccer again. I was devastated immediately when I saw the player still lying down in pain. I am hard at prayer trying to come to terms with that incident.

"I haven’t spoken to any Carara official but it is still my aim to personally speak to Oupa and give him courage. I plead with people not judge me by my tough approach in the field of play – I play with passion and I subscribe to fair play."

"Oupa, keep well, be strong and God Bless you my brother. I am still trying to come to terms with the incident and I will personally call you."

‘Lastly, thanks to everyone who called me and SMSed; I appreciate your support."

Meanwhile, Felix will miss the second leg of the replay after he was sent off for the challenge. Aces will welcome Kicks at Sy Mthimunye Stadium (Ackerville) on Thursday (May 28). The game kicks off at 7.30pm and will be shown live on SuperSport (SS4).

Mpumalanga Black Aces directors are also deeply saddened by the incident. We subscribe to fair play and sadly football is a contact sport and these things happen. It was not intentional and we are horrified by the images that we saw on television.

The directors, management, players and all supporters would like to wish the player a full and speedy recovery.

ergh, the replay was awful. I really hate how in those replays you see the horrific injury before the player reacts, somehow that just freaks me out :eek:
