Patrick Kisnorbo in the studio for Australian Fox Sports coverage of today's matches and just announced immediate retirement from playing.

After carelessly giving his microphone away to his co-host but executing an incredible last-ditch tackle to win it back.

Sad news emerging this evening that Frank Worthington has been diagnosed with Alzheimers.

Alzheimers should be worried, no doubt Frank will have him wearing a cowboy hat and boots, before he knows what's hit him.

That is seriously bad news, always a larger than life character and a charming man. I had the privilege of meeting him a couple of times, yes in a nightclub.

 

[Blaarev]

Terrible news. Awful for him and his family.

 

[homer]

That's shit, that is

 

[pork pie fox]

shit news. My wife works with Alzheimer's patients, it's a horrible condition.

Nuge and Knocky, two key players in getting us to where we are now, both starting in the Boro v Brighton promotion decider

 

[FOX Franks]

Nuge has just got an extremely important assist

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Same for Knockaert in the same match. Both having a nice chat with each other during the stoppage for the injury.

For what it's worth, definate straight red for Brighton - nasty tackle.

 

[Motown Fox]

As Nugent went off when subbed there was a friendly pat on the head from Knockaert.
Nuge taking the mic at the end talking about the important result. That's two teams he's now gone up to the Premier with.

I think it was a certainly nasty injury but not a nasty tackle at all.

Not playing Devil's Advocate here but.....I'm not sure that was even a foul, let alone a straight red card. Sure, the two players involved had a bit of a set to a minute or two beforehand but the guy clearly won the ball and his intention was to win the ball, not to injure the player. The ref pulled the yellow card until the injured Boro player slapped it out of his hand (is that a yellow or red card offence in itself?) and showed the ref his injury. Ref changed his mind and gave the red card. Even if it was a foul, I'm not sure the severity of the injury can upgrade a yellow to a red. I can see that red being rescinded.

Or, of course, I could be totally wrong.

Yep - seen it a few times already but thanks for posting it again anyway. Still can't see the "nasty tackle". . Clearly, he got the ball cleanly first, though.

You missed the bit where he flew in studs first then?
