Frankly I think Mourinho's and Chelsea's comments are laughable - there is no way it was intentional IMO, but I wasn't very impressed with the attitude of the Reading player or the reaction from the crowd. It was clear straight away that it was a very nasty injury.

I don't think it was that clear, because if you watch the reaction of the Reading supporters at the end when Cudecini was carried off, they applauded him, there was no sign of derision.

Let's face it, fans these days are so used to seeing players rolling around in agony or looking poleaxed, only to spring up in 30 seconds, that perhaps they are initially a little cynical.

I don't think it was intentional, and two goalies out in one game is a freak. But to think the player would have intentionally put his knee to the head is stupid, as the knee is such a injury prone part for players...when players go in intentionally they usually go in with the studs or elbow, they won't risk a knee injury. In any case, Carlo will be up and running in a few days, and he is not a bad goalkeeper either... I wish Manchester had a reserve keeper as good as him!

Bl**dy right too!

I don't think the Reading fans were deriding Cech in the first incident, I just don't think they were paying him any respect. He was hardly rolling about.

I do agree that all the play-acting is wrecking football, and I hope that this sends a shiver down the spines of all those oscar-nominated morons.

At least it looks like he's going to make it. Carlo may even be back for next weekend.

S*d being a goalkeeper! :-worship

Its the players who feign injury, that leave Fans perplexed.


Those players have conned officials into, getting free kicks/penalties and also taking the spot kick after laying motionless on the pitch,

When a player is really injured, most fans are unaware of the seriousness of the injury.

I would say there was no intent on saturday by any player to cause injury.
I hope they both fully recover soon.
