There is absolutely no evidence of that at all and tbh it seems extremely unlikely.

It was basically a shocking tackle which was probably premeditated to the extent it was intentional to hurt him when he did it. The fact it was O’Riley is just incidental I think, there’s no reason to target him specifically, he was just unlucky to be on the end of it.
I’m inclined to agree that O’Riley was just unlucky as opposed to being a target. He’s spent his last 2 seasons playing in the SPL, so facing League 1 level cloggers isn’t exactly going to be a culture shock for him.

I doubt you are really an Albion fan :shrug:

Carry on but I’ll be ignoring anything you post from now.
Rumbled. I’ve been pretending to be an Albion fan for 14 years on this board!

You absolute weapon.

Probably right. We certainly had ours in the day, the likes of Oatway, Cullip, Carpenter would have "taken" the opportunity to go in heavy. However if the ref had stepped in we would have perhaps accepted it.

Some of the complacency from a few Albion fans is really mystifying. I really don’t understand the pusillanimous 'let’s not make a fuss, these things happen in sport' attitude. This wasn’t a 'coming together'. It was an outright assault on a key player we’ve spent months negotiating with, 6 or 7 minutes into his debut, by a brutal player who has previous for this sort of thing. Not only that, he smiles and winks after the incident. Why the f*** people are so scared of confronting the club and the player, beats me.
Tell me exactly what you’re doing to confront the player and the club please?

'Tackles' like that have no place in football. On another day, it could have ended his career.
You could say that about every foul, in every game of football ever!

Clearly utter nonsense.
The most innocuous of contacts can end a career on the football pitch. See Chic Brodey. (y)
