@MCFC

Our CityTV guys are hoping to compile a 'Zaba's greatest injuries' video. Can you remember any games where Pablo has been in the wars? #mcfc

An absolute hero.

I cant express how much I love the guy! That cut just opened up right across his head tonight. Hope it heals. It wasnt a mistake either, he got kicked in the fucking head for god sake. The ball was head height.

Well it's just the way I saw it then. I was physically shocked that he went for it, never mind when I saw the cut.

He seemed to go for it at the very, very last second and I thought that I'd seen the guys boot coming, so I imagine he did too, but failed to stop himself. It felt like that kind of evening, it was all care-free and people trying things they wouldn't normally.

Like I say I just hope he's okay. I'm not entirely comfortable with calling him a hero for it. I love him already, I don't want our players injured in that way, and definitely not for for nothing balls when we're three nil up.

he is playing for his place and future at the club.every ball has to be won.
he knew straight away his game was over.and now maybe his season.

It wasn't heroic, it was a mistake, he got carried away. Please understand I'm not having a go at him, but it doesn't seem right to laud him for something he was absolutely furious with himself for. It felt sick watching it, and he could easily have lost the use of an eye.

Sorry to put a downer on an otherwise great night but all I can think about is 'I hope it heals well', because nobody wants a 4 inch scar on their face.

Any man who throws his safety on the line for City, is rightly a hero in my eyes.

He is a Hero

 

[Sigh]

Fit to wear the shirt.
