Heard about this one at practice, and figured the thread would be interesting. You didn't disappoint. Now, if we could just resort to a touch more name calling with a few more memes that would be great, I'll have the popcorn waiting.

Unfortunately I didn't make it to this game so I didn't see the incident and haven't spoke to our guy since it happened, but @cascadesoccer had it right. I've been in more than my fair share of skirmishes as a result of chippy play but it breaks down like this, if a guy goes in to a tackle with intent and injures someone, its not a soccer play, f*ck that guy, I'm going to tune him up, he deserves it. Yes this risks injuring the guy, but I probably wouldn't be thinking about that, just being honest.
Any one of us could seriously injure another player in open play if we decided to because we put ourselves in vulnerable positions in soccer with the understanding that we all have a basic level of respect for each other.
With respect to calling the RCMP, I'm assuming our guy felt he made a soccer play and got attacked and ended up with an injury. He was probably pissed that he ended up in the ER for something that should never occur on a soccer pitch. Again, I wasn't there, so can't give my opinion on how the incident played out.
One thing is for certain, the Royals a stoked they are last years news. (despite leading the league)

Seems like this is just the reality of our society today. Sounds like the injured guy is protecting his legal options in case he needs to make a claim for work or thinks he can bring a lawsuit against his opponent, the team, the club, the league, the referee etc..
I know there's at least one open case in the VMSL where an injured player is suing a player, club, coaches, the league etc. for an injury sustained during a game where an alleged assault occurred. It's a little different because in this case I believe (and I am getting this through the grapevine) the offending player was playing while suspended, but regardless, the point is some people decide that legally this is what is best for their situation.
Certainly no one is being charged criminally here and even civilly the injured party would have to prove that the events that occurred were completely outside of what he had implied his consent to by stepping onto the pitch to play in the first place. It is likely that's a VERY uphill battle, but he can probably find some lawyer somewhere who would argue the case if he wants to go that route. Certainly, creating a police record of the incident keeps that option open.
That being said, I think if you want to get things formally on record to retain your legal options then you are full value to be called a cnut by those who see things differently. Sports are absolutely not a blank cheque to injure someone with no consequences, but where exactly the line between part of the game and not part of the game is definitely very grey. If you want to go the legal route, that's your right, but don't whine when you are labeled a pariah afterword by the people who draw the line in a different part of that grey area. You've made your choice, live with it.
My two cents anyway...
Now back to my enjoyable reading of this thread that actually provides game reports and banter!

But if it has to be moved to turf do you guys usually keep the same game time? Thanks

It hasn't happened in awhile but at this close to game time for a game change I would be fairly sure it would be the same kick off time.
Played that. It wont matter if your in a bubble, it still hurts. I got crushed from behind playing in a work function. My muscles hurt for days after. I should have pressed charges as I was unable to work on my biceps for a few days

I've been part of a match where two players literally kicked opposite ends of a ball simultaneously, didn't touch each other whatsoever, and the guy on the other team broke his leg because of the impact. That's as much of a "soccer play" as I've ever seen, and from what I heard the injured player still wanted to pursue legal action. I think @cascadesoccer may have been at that game, so he's welcome to correct me if I'm describing it wrong.
Either way, the point is that guys are wont to do what they need to protect themselves when shite like this happens outside the realm of "soccer plays". In the words of Milli Vanilli, gotta blame it on something.

I never said anything about getting a turf. I just said if the league changed the game to a turf field it would mostly likely be the same time. Can't believe they closed the fields, I was there Friday and they looked good with no standing water.
