Richard Dunne

[Legion]

Pravda clarification

In a press release dated August 1, 2012 Aston Villa Football Club made a number of assertions and comments about the medical treatment received by Richard Dunne during his service with the Ireland team during the European Championships.

We wish to acknowledge that Richard Dunne received the highest standard of medical care before and during the Championships and apologise to those involved in providing his treatment if any other impression was erroneously given.

What's going on here?

I suspect our club doctor upon inspection felt the liposuction hadn't been as successful as the Irish camp has claimed.

[gervilla]

It was in all the papers over here.
It was said that Dunne's current injury was not picked up by the F.A.I.'s medical team at the Euros and they were to blame for him missing the start of the season.

[Chipsticks]

I remember about four weeks ago or so the club issued a statement about the injuries to Gabby, Dunne, and Albrighton. Towards the end of the statement they made a remark about how Dunne was allowed to play with an injury or something along those lines and they seemed to have a bit of a go at the Irish medical team.

Is there really any need for that dig in the thread title? Quite pathetic.

It should be noted that the correction refers to medical treatment he received but makes no reference to whether he should have been playing in the first place.   It would seem the FAI are in the clear but does the question still remain was the player fit enough to play?

Dear me, it was just a little light-heartedness.

Agree, he's still a villa player and that's hardly respectful to him.
Maybe meant in humour legion but not in the best of taste.

Besides I've heard he's more into pasties and burgers nowadays.

[gervilla]

It's not half as  disrespectful than that bloody stupid "On the piss m'lord" song.

[brian green]

I think the thread title should be changed immediately to Richard whose calorie intake is exactly correct for a person of his size Dunne.   What is presently in place is blatant weightism.

Richarf Tonne loves pies..

Agreed.

It's not as if he's respected his condition in the past is it?  Pissed up on a club trip & abusing younger players, clearly overweight, when he starts respecting himself & his responsibilities I'm sure others will follow suit.

I thought about changing it to 'Lean, mean defending machine'.
