Vinnie plays on despite stroke risk

[Barcon]

Years ago somebody stamped on my face and broke my nose, chipped my orbital and gave me a concussion. Nobody gave me a fucking stroke.

I apologise to Bumbleblue, Eccles Blue and Blue Smarties for my ‘buffoons’ comment; you did indeed use the ‘if true...’ disclaimer. I should probably apologise to everyone else who had posted in the first couple of pages, too. It does tend to bother me when people make knee-jerk reactions without even reading the details, but it’s wrong to pull people up about it; I should just leave it be.

However, I’m afraid there’s something in me that won’t allow me to leave it be, when simpletons insult and patronise me, a la SWP’s Back:

It's truly hilarious that my last post was met with a response demonstrating staggering illiteracy. Pray tell what evidence there was at the time of the incident, that Kompany had suffered a "traumatic brain injury"?

Traumic Brain Injury: definition

-Penetrating head injuries occur when an object, like shrapnel, enters the brain and causes damage in a specific area.

-Closed head injuries occur when there's a blow to the head, which can happen during a fall, car accident, sporting event, or any number of different ways.

You cannot have concussion without first receiving TBI. The doctor should have known at the time of the incident that TBI was a realistic possibility given the force of the blow Kompany received. Which turned out to be the case.

Now jog on you idiot as I am shocked you can even spell "illiteracy" given your complete lack of comprehension of a very simple point.

We know that concussion was diagnosed after (do you want me to define ‘after’ for you?) the event. You state that, “The doctor should have known at the time of the incident that TBI was a realistic possibility...” How can you be so sure of this? The doctor didn’t even diagnose concussion at the time of the event. Whether or not he should have is immaterial; the fact remains that he didn’t.

Even still, being a literate being, I read even those three in the context of the full posts - which clearly made judgements outside of the conditional.

You may consider yourself literate, but that sentence is a cluster fuck of terrible English.

It’s frankly hilarious that you have desperately searched through my posts to try and find a sentence to criticise, in order to somehow temporarily overcome your evident self-esteem problems. I’m quite happy to argue about grammar if you like (it comes into my profession in a big way). The sentence you picked up on happens to make perfect sense, and even reads well to any fairly literate person. Any criticism of it can only be subjective. If you find it to be a “cluster fuck,” then that says more about your limited comprehension than it does about my writing skills.

Would you like me to point out some examples of your poor writing in this thread?

You could but I would not be interested as I wasn't the one banging on about people being illiterate and your sentence, highlighted above, is dreadful English, scanning appallingly and with a double word repetition which should always be avoided where possible.

But none of that matters in the face of your idiocy on the actual topic at hand. The fact being that Kompany, playing on, was increasing his chances of serious injury.

it has been proved beyond doubt that people who try to "outclever" others on the world wide web are infact the owners of a petit penis.

I can confirm that this is indeed, correct.

You have also seen my penis.

It was, in actual fact, a poor attempt at self-deprecating humour.

I tried to see it, I really did, but you were pissing towards the corner looking very sheepish tbh.

Mainly as I was using a she-wee.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Happens to the best of us.

I was live at the match and when I saw the collision and Kompany not getting up, I told the old man he's done for the night cause it was a bad hit and you know something is up when Vinnie doesn't get up. He was called to the physio 3 times so he could check up on him and the doc said in the media that he followed every procedure that is required so he could allow Kompany to stay on the field. If you look at this vid of him celebrating after the match, you can clearly see how fucked up his face is. No matter what game you're in, no matter how good? he felt, he should have never continued the match.
