Guys, I have to admit that it seems the way LA has been treating Beckham's ankle injury is pretty stupid. Why have the guy play for a short time here and there when all is causes is setbacks? He should have physical therapy and rest until he is ready to play. This way, the fans aren't let down too. So, at a point in time when he should have been 100% in a packed Giants Stadium, we still have an "up in the air" situation. This isn't bad just for LA, but I bet a good number of future Red Bull fans have been drawn to the game because of him and yet may not see him. Anyway, I was all revved up to see Becks play against us in a stadium that hasn't been this packed for a league game since the NASL Cosmos. So, who's the joker allowing him to play when he admits he has pain when he cuts and his ankle still swells up? If we had a Beckham, I doubt he'd be playing. He be Reyna's benchmate! (Yes, I had to add that one in. I thought you'd enjoy it!)
Ha! But seriously, there are lots of idiots out there thinking he's "not tough enough" and is just sitting out with a tiny injury. NOT TRUE! Ankle injuries are no joke and are ususally carrer enders. Anyone remember Dutch international and AC Milan great Marco Van Basten? He had an ankle injury too and it forced an early retirement to a soccer great. I hope who is ever in charge will get the guy 100% so we can see him this season.
How many red bulls players are as successful as David Beckham?? Its just jealousy on red bulls fans part that they dont have a quality player like beckham on there side. All players get injured. It happens to the best.
They (Garber, Lalas, Posh, whoever the hell else chimes in) have a cunning plan. Playing in the Superliga match tonight means that when he plays for only a few minutes on Saturday, if at all, "they" can say his ankle injury flared up. That rather than admit that he won't play on the rug.
Actually, we are jealous of LA because they have Landon Donovan. You have no idea how many more butts would hit our seats if we had Lanny-cakes. We only gripe about the possibility that Davey B won't play (a'la New England) when 55k tickets are already sold, and the backlash that might be felt as a result. If his ankle were 100% we could see a sellout crowd, the likes of which we haven't seen since World Cup '94. This isn't personal, it's business.
how can you call yourself a man united fan? Beckham was one of our best number 7's. He was top quality. His heart is always with united. He still supports them.
Brownswan, Right on, buddy. It's about business. If business is bad, no MLS and no Red Bulls. Beckham is an investment in the league...and maybe more "Beckhams' will sign. Roehl, Actually, I posted it here because it's about RBNY and we got no one on OUR team that's going to put 55K butts in OUR seats. They do...
Paulr 1985, Not all of us are jelous. LA Galaxy or not, I can say that Beckham is a great player wherever he plays. I wish we had him on the Red Bulls, but i'm not going to say I hate because he isn't. His track recod speaks for itself. Actually, I'm hoping that with his signing, Red Bull will shell out big bucks so we can axe Reyna and get our own Beckham sometime soon...with or without Arena.
Just don't see him as our best number 7 or one of them. He's a sellout in my books don't care what people say.
Yeah yeah we'll see where you finish at the end of the season. At least we dont kill our own fans. Ask all your scouse scum pals what the metal fence tasted like in hillsbrough. Hillsbrough was a great day for football. 96 less scouse rats on this planet. Heres a helpline for all the liverpool fans who were bitter with winnin nothin last year. 0800 10 10 10. Thats 0800 won nothing, won nothing, won nothing. As the words of the song go: "you used to sing munich but not anymore, Since 96 scousers lie dead on the floor, In your liverpool slums" Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers Murderers
Damnit, why is it that when you leave the door open, the cockroaches never leave the house, they just invite themselves in? Queue next post from liverpool fan: (and insert picture of plane crash here)
Who's calling the shots with Beckham's injury? Well, if Dema was playing, I see him stepping up: "I got dibs on the ankle!"
Excuse me, isn't Rooney a scouser from Tuebrook. I guess you all want to break his ankle and smother him. Go back to mumbling in your beer, Old Monkey
Rooneys from everton the nice side of liverpool not the dirty red side. "old monkey" i'm sure you could come up with something better than that. You sound like a bit of a monkey yourself.
Enjoy your future home games in Chevy Chase or Crystal City. Will you have the same die hard support then? I am guessing no.
