As a association football ref (soccer) I have seen my fair share of gruesome injuries, there is one that stands above all the others.
I'm center reffing the semi final of a U-15 statewide tournament, so I'm pretty stoked. It's a good match, they're both playing a bit aggressive but I let it go, if that's how both teams want to play why not let 'em? It's a good match, by the 55th min it's 2-1. The team that's down gets a break away, just a forward and the goalie and a few defense men running their ass off to catch up, it should be an easy goal. The striker's going full tilt, gets it by by the keeper and then out of fucking nowhere on of the backs make a extremely hard tackle a bit late, takes the strikers feet out from under him, but he continues his froward momentum. Right into the upright. He hits is hard smack in the middle of his face, his head immediately stops while his body continues forward. Just gruesome.
Immediate red card, no question on that. I go to check the damage, the boys face looks like it's completely caved in, Where there's supposed to be a nose there's just a crumpled mess of red. Luckily there's paramedics at tournaments or else I dunno. He's also already off the pitch so we don't have to move him to continue play.
The goal still scored because it crossed the plane before the tackle, but the team went on to lose the match.
