Mike Odgers Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have just seen a "Tweet" message that Matt Drummond sustained a broken ankle in the Charity Bowl game with Bodmin after only 2 minutes of play. Hope its a routine recovery time and all goes well for him. Matt who netted 35 goals for Falmouth last term is one of 12 players who are members of the "100 Goals Club" in the history of the Peninsula league scoring 112 Premier goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyRaa Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I wasn't at the game, but I heard it was a bad tackle from Shane Krac. Although im a Saltash fan, Drummond is a class act and I wish him a speedy recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ref didn't give a free kick and so not a bad tackle, but lets say with only a minute or so on the clock, an enthusiastic one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyle Fan Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Just because the referee doesn't give a free kick doesn't mean it was not a bad tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyRaa Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Referees don't always see these bad tackles, either that, or they don't have the balls to make a big decision, especially so early In a game. If he see's the challenge, the correct decision would be a red card for the offender. The same thing happened to the ashes last year at Parkway when Hobbs broke Toby Clarks leg. The only person that allegedly didn't see the horrendous challenge was the officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 For the avoidance of any doubt, can I just clarify that Matt Drummond felt that the tackle by Shane Krac was a perfectly good challenge at the game on Sunday. It was unfortunate that he had his left foot "planted" ready to shoot with his natural right foot and Krac made his tackle at that moment. Matt and I would like to thank Nyree, the Bodmin Physio for all her medical help, attention and advice & also the messages of support, particularly from Bodmin FC players. I took Matt to Treliske where he was diagnosed as having an fractured Fibula and fragmented bone on the inside of his left ankle. He will be out for some months unfortunately. I'm sure that everyone involved with football locally wishes Matt a speedy recovery. He will certainly be missed by our club and his fellow players.

Blazey Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I Understand that Sir Bobby had Matt on his transfer radar so this is unfortunate. Wishing him a speed recovery anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that is unfortunate as im sure matt would have jumped at the chance to leave one of the better sides in the league where he would be a regular starter for mid table at best.

pastyman Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I witnessed the tackle by Shane Krac on Matt Drummond and pernsonally feel it may well have been seen as a "fair tackle by the Referee, but he was some distance away. It happened only five yards away from me. It was, in my opinion, straight out of the Shane Krac "locker". When Matt Drummond was in sheer agony, Shane Krac walked back to him and clearly accussed him of being a a word beginning with C and ending with T. Such sportmanship!!! Wishing Matt Drummond a speedy recovery, your talents will be missed by your club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was only yards away from the incident and would say it was a forceful tackle as we're use to see Shane Krac make - he rarely holds back. I would have called it good, as did the referee and too the injured player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no reason to any lies and have no alegience to Falmouth Town. What I saw and heard, was as stated earlier. Whilst we may all have different opinions to the tackle, what there really any need for shane Krac to use foul and abusive language to an injured Matt Drummond? The "Respect" campaign has proved to be nothing but a total joke. Throughout the game on Sunday, I heard numourous foul mouthed comments made to the officials. Not once was a warning given to a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammers Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Matt, I am sure that every Falmouth Town supporter wishes you a speady return to the Town squad, you will be greatly missed, I am also hoping that Alan Carey our Manager will do his best to fill the gap left by your absence.

Drummo Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Just wanted to thank everyone for the messages of support that I have received this week. A big thanks to the Bodmin physio for her help at the game and Steve Kimberley for taking me to hospital. Hope to find out the true extent of the injury next week once the swelling reduces, hopefully the ligaments are not to badly damaged and I can recover over the coming months. Hope to see some of you at future games and wish everyone the best for the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
