QuoteWas knocked out cold and was bleeding from his eye and lip after colliding with a Waterford player about 3 seconds into the game last night. Last I heard he was concious and spent the night in hospital as a precaution.
Does anyone have any news on Mark O'Brien after his bad injury last night.
Hope he gets well soon.

Yeah I know, I was at the game. I hope he's ok.

Footage of the incident plus interviews with Keely, McGill and Larry Byrne (Physio) after the match.
He was concussed and spent the night in the hospital. No damage to his neck or back thankfully.
As far as i'm concerned, anyone who says he meant that is a complete fool. Goes up, heads the ball away clearly and his body collides with O'Brien.
"In another country,he would have got jail". Keely shud go get a life for himself. The guy getting injured is bad and its good to hear thats he okay, hope he's back playing soon. .But Does Keely expect him to head the ball away and then stop mid-air? tool!!
At least Dave McGill has a bit of sense.

I’m not pedantic...I’m merely overly concerned with minute details.
I see Keeley is still a useless gob****e.
Kom Igen, FCK...
I didn't see anything wrong with that challenge tbh. Jumped for the ball and absolutely nailed it, I doubt he could have been concentrating on anything else.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Some people who were sitting in front of the incident said he led with his elbow.
They always cheat, they always lie
**** Delaney and the FAI
To be honest I think he did but don't believe it was intentional. Using your arms is essential in getting a decent height on your jump.Originally Posted by Hairy Bowsie
To call that a horrific foul is an outrage.......whoever uploaded the video should be ashamed of themselves!
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
To be fair i wouldnt even call it a foul, he won the ball, very unfortunate on the lad who got injured. Whats keely on about in his interview, sent off, ****ing jail?? Assault? What??
But i think waterford should be docked 30 points for this, terrible terrbile stuff.

As for the lad who uploaded it fair play, its better than people giving opinions without seeing it like, good job for uploading it. And fair play to the shels player for bwing honest saying it wasnt a sending off.

Keely is a muppett.
How? The lad who uploaded it records all the matches himself from the gantry and sells them on as dvd's with profits going to the club.
He uploaded it to give people a better idea of what happened and I put it here because it was a thread about said player who was badly injured.
I was wondering about that myself. What did the uploader do wrong??

He's talking about the description under the video.
"Video of horrific foul on Mark O'Brien 6 seconds into the match between Shelbourne and Waterford United."

It was a horrific foul. I recorded it, so I've seen the full quality version, and in it, you can clearly see his elbow come out. Fair nuff, some players use their elbows to help them jump, but not from a running start. IMO, there was only one thing on his mind.
Looks accidental from the video but it's very far away so impossible to tell if his elbow was raised dangerously or something.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
No intention to be honest. I think Keely is wrong with what he says although I do agree it was a bad foul and a certain yellow. Fair play to Dave McGill for coming out and telling it as he saw it. Always was an honest pro and if this video says anything about the guy, it says hes a genuine lad and an honest athlete. Best wishes to Mark O'Brien although from knowing the guy, hes very stable and in no danger.
Just want to commend Mc Gill again because football in general is littered with cheats and at least this shows there are some decent players left no matter what team they play for.

Correct
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
