"Williams has now revealed the midfielder was taken to hospital having suffered serious damage to his front teeth.
"He was in tears because he wanted to play," Williams said.
"But he had four teeth in the bottom row that were in a completely different position to where they were when the game kicked off."

Dear God, I hope he’s out I’d A+E before the team leave for Portsmouth. And well enough to play of course. Best of luck GF.
I know it’s classy but I don’t like LW’s exoneration of McGuinness. His arm was up and he swung it around. It was a yellow if not a straight red. |  |

It didn’t look malicious but the ref gave a free kick. If it was an accident it’s a drop ball?
Surely it’s a card if it’s a foul? |  | | |

Absolutely. Even if it wasn’t malicious, it was still clumsy with his arm resulting in a nasty injury. Surely it doesn’t have to be malicious to be a yellow? It was careless use of it. That’s the way I saw it anyway. | |

Listening and reading the reports it does not look good but we cannot rely on just one player and can the upturn in results solely be down to one player? I think most of us think yes but Bianchini really seems to have found his feet if not quite his shooting boots Cullen looks as if he could link up well with both him and Eom, meaning Tymon does not need to keep going beyond the winger, similar could be said of Key with Ronald getting the ball so early Key can now give him options quickly with forward runs off him which does drag players off Ronald, Franco has added more movement on the righthand side, will his loss which seems likely, not effect us that badly as long as we are getting the ball quickly to Ronald I hope not but suspect it will, away from home, the home team pressing us constantly the long balls may be a good ploy as Bianchini does look as if he can make a nuisance of himself especially if Ronald and Eom can feed off him. | | | |

That was not an accident
The Luton thug knew what he was doing
That was not a question of defending position or anything like it
Franco is just a force of nature
I’m glad he didn’t fracture his jaw | |

It looked accidental at the time, but there’s no way you can do that much damage just turning into someone as he runs past.
That should be reviewed and McGuiness should get a decent ban. | | | |

Said this yesterday. He gave a free kick but not a card. If it’s accidental it’s not a free kick. If it’s deliberate it’s a straight red surely? Think he was already on a yellow. | | | |

I think the only reason he wasn't booked was because it would have been a second yellow and the ref bottled it. |  | | |

It CAN be accuidental and be a free kick. A foul is still a foul, accidental or not. If it's accidental it's not a card.
If it's reviewed and found to be deliberate he should be in deep trouble. | | | |

The whole game on YouTube isn't it?
What are the rules these days seeing as the ref has given a free kick can any retrospect action be taken? | | | |

I’m not sure but I think retrospective action can only be taken if the whole incident is missed. It was punished by the awarding of the FK so that will be deemed the correct decision. Not in my eyes but there you go. | |

I must have misunderstood the rules.
I was under the impression that an accidental collision resulting in a head injury would be a drop ball.
Moot point really, because judging by Francos face he’s set out to smash him. | | | |

IF anyone does get their teeth knocked out . Put them back ( ie keep them ) in your mouth and proceed to a dentist asap. Failing that keep them in a jar of milk until you see a dentist asap.Failure to do either will destroy the ability of the teeth to take root when put back into place.

It seems that the best case scenario is splinting for 2 to 4 weeks after repositioning the affected teeth, followed by root canal treatment (as the nerves will have been damaged). Not great for poor old Goncalo. I'm not sure how long recovery takes before a return to the pitch is advisable. | | | |

And he kicked the ball away after the ref blew......no card. | | | |

Well rules seem to be interpreted differently by refs all the time. For an accident to be a free kick there has to be a gain y the team without the ball. If it's accidental and they retain possession the ref will play on, most of the time.
There have been times when we have been given a free kick when we had an advantage and the ref seems to have punished us. I'm sure we've been through on goal once or twice and been pulled back and given a free kick. | | | |

This was neither of those scenarios. Franco was down with a head injury. He had to stop the game whether he gave a free kick or a drop ball.
I expected either a drop ball or a free kick and a card. | | | |
