Could it have been prevented?

I suspect we will hear no more from Roy, since his position has been comprehensively demolished. 

[Old_Geezer]

Most unfortunate. But these things happen. No one can be sure of avoiding tragedy all their time here.

Why are you so full of your own ***?

You have demolished nothing. You havent watched the incident but you know the truth?

Typical andy hughes.

On a tweet (that I and hundreds of others have asked to be removed) of over 2.5 million views, many seasoned ice hockey fans have said there was intent to foul but it went horribly wrong.

Yet you who probably hasn't watched a game in his life knows better

[andy-hughes]

Goodnight Roy.

As I said earlier...we shall see.

[andy-hughes]

roy - // As I said earlier...we shall see. //

The Panthers' website, in your link, refers to a 'tragic accident', which does not infer any intention or foul play.

I remain mistified as you why you are determined to see this as deliberate, when there appears to be no evidence to support this supposition.

[royfromaus]

And why do you persist on thinking you have the answers despite not even seeing the incident?

 

//Yorkshire Police confirms "our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident remain ongoing"//

There's a reason for that but why not get in touch with the police and tell them to stop the investigation...as you'ved already decided on the outcome.

roy - //

I don't - you are the one who started this nonsense inferring that this tragedy was not an accident.

I posted at 19.35 last night that, quote' None of us saw what happened' - and of course that does include you.

At 19.38, jno posted a link from a Guardian journalist who was there, and DID see what was going on.

The journalist confirms that two players collided, one fell, and as he fell, his skate came into contact with the other player, causing a fatal injury.

That's from someone who saw the incident as it happened, and that chimes with the quote from your own link, referring to a 'freak accident'.

 

//Yorkshire Police confirms "our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident remain ongoing"//

//There's a reason for that but why not get in touch with the police and tell them to stop the investigation...as you'ved already decided on the outcome. //

I am sure that any incident like this attracts a police investigation, but I maintain that there has been no suggestion that this was anything but a tragic accident, apart from you darkly hinting that foul play was a factor, with no evidence whatsoever.

I repeat, you are the one who started this, so there is no need to be rude to me, simply because I have, and continue to expose the facile notion that this accident was caused deliberately.

//The journalist confirms that two players collided, one fell, and as he fell, his skate came into contact with the other player, causing a fatal injury.//

 

That is not what happened. Now either go and watch what did happen or give it a rest

As I said earlier, only the opposing player knows what his intentions were.

Strewth.

Er, apparently it is what happened, according to the Guardian journalist who was there, and saw it -

// Witnesses described the incident which led to Johnson’s death as a freak clash. Christian Bennett, a Guardian journalist who was at the match, said: “Two players blindsided each other, just bumped into each other.

“The Sheffield player clearly got knocked off his feet and his skate went up and slit [the other player’s] throat. I’ve never seen that amount of blood come out of anyone at any sort of pace. It is one of the grimmest things I’ve ever seen at a sports event.” //

He saw it, he reports it as an accident.

I remain unsure why you are so wilfully determined to make this a deliberate act to harm another player, even if his death was not the intention.

I am not an ice hockey player, I doubt you are either, but as i have advised previously, ice hockey players knock each other about a lot, they don;t fall over, and deliberately use their skates to wound an opposing player, the notion is utterly bizarre!

// As I said earlier, only the opposing player knows what his intentions were. //

He fell over!!

He didn't have any 'intentions'!!!

Why can't you grasp that, from the evidence provided?

[douglas9401]

Eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable.

[royfromaus]

andy has said that in the past, Douglas but on this occasion... 

[DTCwordfan]

If I borrow an 'r' from a word like 'err' and anagram it into the title, I get 'What a Horrible Thread!!'

[emeritus]

8000 people witnessed the incident, and to my knowledge it is accepted as a tragic accident. Why do you think otherwise Roy ?

[royfromaus]

Have you watched the incident, emeritus?

I had piggynose's youtube vid deleted because it would definately have made some ABers upset had they watched it.

But if you watch it, your mind may be changed. What the Gaurdian reporter came up with was not what happened.

 

[Peter Pedant]

I BET that cause of death is air embolism and not loss of blood, and cd have been prevented by a simple occlusive dressing

[andy-hughes]

I always believe in admitting if you are in error.

I have managed to find a video clip of the incident, and having watched it, I am of the opinion that the Guardian journalist's version of events is inaccurate, and that a deliberate foul may have caused the fatal injury.

On that basis, I wish to appologise unreservedly to Roy for our diagreement.

I honestly believed the version of events that I read, and was unsure why Roy was so determined to asser that this death may have been the result of a deliberate action, rather than a simple clash, as occurs routinely in the sport.

Once again, my aplogies to Roy, and like him, I now await the outcome of the police investigation with interest.

[Canary42]

Andy finds it difficult to appologise [sic] and to present his aplogies [sic].

 

😀  😀  😀  😀  😀  

 

Freudian slips perhaps 😀  😀  😀  

[douglas9401]

There, see what can happen when we all work together?
