Luis Enrique

[Alarcón]

people who bring their awful political views into a stadium should not be there, not to mention violence - but Lucho having that scarf doesn't necessarily mean he condones it either.

Lucho strikes me as a smart person so it's obvious he doesn't approve of their political views. I don't know what the BN situation was back then as I was barely born when that picture was taken, but posing with that scarf sends a bad message regardless of whether you align yourself with their politics or not.

The 90s was when they transitioned from a left-wing group to a right-wing group. So there was infighting among old members vs new members etc. Actually wasn't uncommon for ultras groups to start out as left-wing and then transition, mostly due to the rise of the skinhead subculture in Europe in the 90s. But like I said, not defending that part. Just saying there are/were members who weren't troublemakers who were only guilty by association. As much as I love Laporta, I wish he had dealt with their ban differently, as the stadium could use some of their atmosphere.

Lucho has always been a Boixos favourite so that picture is not a surprise for me. I expect them to sing his name from the first game.

I disagree completelly..I would rather have no atmosphere at Camp Nou than hear the stuff they are singing at the Mini Estadi.

Those who vocally do nasty stuff are the ones who should be banned, though. But banning everyone who identifies as an ultra was not the way to go about it.

It was at the time..and seeing what happend afterwards when Rosell tried to do Grada Jove and how the police responded, I am certain that it was the right thing to do.

Luis Enrique has been admitted to emergency Monday in the Mutua de Terrassa by acute appendicitis. He will have surgery in the coming hours. [MD]

Get well soon Lucho

Bloody hell! All our coaches seem to be cursed!

That's what I thought. Incredible.

Official: Barcelona coach Luis Enrique underwent this morning an operation to remove appendix, he'll have to recover for a few days

 

[Sumlit]

Appendicitis is a real simple operation, IF they catch it in time. If they're able to catch it in time and remove the appendix whole, then he can be home in no time and back to normal in a little over a week.

If it ruptures though, that's trouble.

Hope they caught it in time and Lucho has no complications.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

If it's early in the process he'll be absolutely fine, I had it when I was a kid and it wasn't a problem at all, only had to say in the hospital for three days.

 

[Sumlit]

Yeah I had an appendectomy when I was like 8 years old. It hurts, but they removed it whole and was home 3 days later, back to normal after a week. The real problem is when it bursts inside you.

It looks like he had a successful appendectomy, he'll be hurling stair rails again in 1 week time.

 

[Flavia]

Even being a minor thing, what the hell... Get well soon, Lucho.

 

[DonAndres]

He'll be alright but the timing was a bit of a shock. For me it felt a bit scarier than it should due to the residual memories of what happened to Tito .

Fortunately, the surgery went well and we'll see him back in a few days. A man of his fitness level should be back to peak bodily condition within a few weeks so this won't really inhibit his intense work days and exercise.

 

[NotInHere]

Wait why do people get that? Is because they lack something?

hard to imagine a guy that fit getting sick of something
