Out tonight, and just wondering if anything mentioned about him in any post match twang.
Hope all’s good fella.
Best centre back since Steve Elliot.
Major reason we have transformed and turned our team around.
Him and belly the spine.
Hope for positive news. 🤞

Major reason we have transformed and turned our team around. Him and belly the spine. Hope for positive news. 🤞 Turned his ankle, taken off as a precaution That’s good news. Radio Bristol commentary said he was pointing to his chest which would suggest it was his heart problem again. The club might be protecting him by saying that though. It’s a worry when I think about how we’ve seen players have serious heart failure on the pitch in the past. Obviously we need him to have a great chance of promotion but if he needs the operation that JB said he needs then he should just have it. Health always comes first and if that means we lose him for the next couple of weeks or the rest of the season then so be it. |

I wonder if there was a little white lie by Barton there in the after match interview. He got reprimanded before for revealing Taylor’s heart problem in interviews and he was definitely holding his chest when he went down.

Really hope he’s ok! Obviously his health has to come first. Fingers crossed nothing too serious

I saw the game on iFollow and it didn’t look like an ankle to me. He clearly seemed to be struggling to control his breathing a little. Initially I thought maybe winded. Good to see he was walking off ok though. If it was his breathing and heart rate then hopefully things settle again and ok for the next game and rest of the season until he has his procedure. Just my take on it and I might be wrong but at no point did I see our medical team look at his ankle.

If he needs the procedure now, he'll get it - medics don't mess around where hearts are concerned. No doubt Stoke are monitoring the situation closely too, and Rovers will be liaising with them. Look forward to seeing him back in the quarters as soon as he's fit to play.

There’s no way it was an ankle issue, IMO.
Could see from the away end it was a problem with his chest and the way he walked past the away end with zero limp at the start of the second half suggested there was nothing wrong with his ankle/s!

Look forward to seeing him back in the quarters as soon as he's fit to play. The procedure is called an oblation, that is worst case scenario bath their a a few options prior to that. It all depends on how bad the arrhythmia is. Some people get put on beta blockers but that would not do him any favours as a player, the other option is to re-start the heart, as they did with me. None of us know if this is atrial fibrillation or something else. In my case, i had AF as a side effect of the rituximab infusions and i had the re-start. It is such a strange feeling when they inject you, you get a really strong metallic taste in your mouth and it seems like ages before your heart restarts. The only problem is that it can reappear and you have to go through the same thing again. We are very lucky that we have these options as, going back some 30 years ago, it would be a different story and his career would be over. |

I can't understand the logic in telling a blatant lie, why not just say he wasn't sure what the issue was until he hears back from his medical team? |

He got reprimanded before for revealing Taylor’s heart problem in interviews and he was definitely holding his chest when he went down. I actually agree with you, I was in Block E of the Newport stand closest to the tunnel and there was no limp as he walked by and there did not appear to be any treatment to his ankle when the medics went on the pitch |

Barton got a telling off for revealing about Taylor’s heart condition in the press the first time he did it and he probably knew if he said it again yesterday then there’d be people calling for Taylor to have his op. ASAP, which would rule him out for the rest of the season. |

I did not realize we had medical people on this forum You don't have to be medically qualified you just need to have half-decent eyesight. It wasn't how you would expect things to look if he rolled his ankle, I listened back to the commentary team when I got home and they also believed it was a chest issue |

It sounds like a scary procedure to go through. I should be more clued up as I was a Medical Secretary in the Cardiac Centre for 3 years!  My own heart was damaged by a virus 4 years ago, and as a result of that I have heart failure - I may as well have lived the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle which we were all warned about!  |

None of ever think it will happen to us so you are not alone, my own gripe is that i think about the time i wasted rather than doing things i really enjoy but there you go. I do wonder about those who say they have no regrets as i certainly have a fair few and would change a lot, if i had the chance to do it again. We just have to make the most of what we have got. One big thing that has changed in me, is that i am now grateful for what i do have rather than worrying about what i haven’t and i would give up everything just to be healthy. I was scared btw but it wasn’t as bad as it sounds although there is always the worry of it happening again |

I was diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation 5 years ago, largely controlled with Beta Blockers. The real threat is clot formation as a result, which obviously leads to heart attacks or strokes. To combat that I take an anti-coagulant daily. On the one visit to a consultant he told me it was my fault and he wouldn't recommend any further treatment 🤭🤭. |

Not sure mate but Joey mentioned he got a “slap on the wrist” (or words to that effect) in the presser he did after he revealed the heart issue! |
