    DTotD: Collision with his own keeper knocks out Olof Mellberg

    By Brooks Peck | Dirty Tackle – Tue, Feb 14, 2012 1:25 PM EST

    Olympiakos goalkeeper Balazs Megyeri used defender Olof Mellberg to break his fall after clearing a free kick in the 32nd minute of Tuesday's Europa League win over Rubin Kazan. Mellberg appeared woozy and disoriented as Megyeri tried to shake it out of him after calling over the team doctor.

    The former Aston Villa defender was able to walk off the pitch, but he went straight to a Moscow hospital, reportedly with "symptoms of a concussion and amnesia." Asking him if he remembers his time with Juventus wasn't exactly a fair question, though.

      Maybe we are not seeing the collision at the appropriate angle. It didn't look too bad from what I saw

      What actually happened is he ran into the goalie, but then hit is head on #2. Looked like it hurt his neck badly.

      Gotta love that the first reaction of the keeper to noticing his teammate has a head injury is to shake his head around. That seems like a good idea.

      This guy is one of the least informed, poor writers on the yahoo staff. Do yourself a favor and remember that if you ever read anything he has vomited onto his computer screen.

        What the hell are you talking about? You obviously are the least informed.

        Walter: "Ride" has been harassing me on twitter for writing a post about Suarez not shaking Evra's hand. Though Suarez admitted that's what he did and apologized for it, "Ride" still feels I am somehow a "liar" and a "coward" for not saying that it was Evra's fault.

        Jesus Ride grow the F up.. Suarez doesnt even seem to be that worried about it..
        Keep doing your thing Brooks, your by far my favourite Yahoo writer. You should see the abuse Chris Chase takes on the reg, especially on the SI SS column he posted today.

        And soccer (or how you say it with your lisp - thoccer) is for fairies who want to run around in short shorts and kick a little ball around.
