Injuries lol

[Dynamo]

Would never have happened on a plastic pitch 

[The Buzzard]

The pain when you snap a cruciate is described as being like getting shot in the knee. And a repaired cruciate is never as robust as an undamaged one. Even as late as the mid eighties a ruptured cruciate was considered a career ending injury. Better surgical techniques developed in the US now mean that this is no longer the case but as I said....it isn't as strong as an uninjured one and so the risk of reoccurrence is consequently higher.

Done it twice. First time I thought my knee had dislocated and also heard the pop. Second time I knew straight away what happened.

[dazzy_deff]

Matchstick Manny. Doubt he'll play top level again.

[G31DON]

Happened to me before

 

I just got up, dusted myself down and scored a hat trick

 

Easy peasy

Are you Marvin Andrews? Always easier when you have God as your personal doctor.

[Chewie37]

I did. Way back in September when I first made that gag.   

  

You only did half of the gag, so can’t claim it........cheat

Walk it off or get the magic sponge......done

[Clydeside_Sheep]

I found his wild crying pathetic

FFS, whatever happened to the big hearted MT we all know and love?

[The Boofon]

Confirmed by club he’s done his cruciate. Out all season.

[Tyzo_1903]

Poor loons career has to be in a bit of a doubt now. That's nearly two full seasons and a handful of games.

 

Can we recall Reynolds? Worrying cover if/when Devlin gets injured again.

 

Maybe a time for another young loon to step up (hopefully another McKenna out of nowhere).

[Mr John]

Fuckin nightmare season for injuries man.

[TheRock]

May be wrong but I think we can recall him but he can't actually play for us again this season as he's registered with another team and that can't be changed outwith a transfer window. We've got McKenna, Devlin and Considine so hopefully we can keep 2 of them fit at any one time. Not had all three fit at once very often this season though.

[Rabiusmaximus]

Really weird that it's his other knee!

Not really...

[G31DON]

So long tissue paper Tommie, it's been underwhelming. Hope your career is not over.

[maryhilldon]

Sounds like a shit superhero.

[maryhilldon]

If you don't go in hard enough you'll get injured, thats what i was always told.

By the wife?

[Rabiusmaximus]

You don't think it's weird that he has now done them on both legs at his age?

 

The same one failing again would be more expected surely

Possibly... Depends on the person. Psychologically after that kind of injury you try to protect it more afterwards. Therefore more stress actually gets put on the other knee, whether landing or turning etc. So to answer your question... No it's not weird. You have a greater chance of injuries to the other knee after that kind of injury.

[Rabiusmaximus]

I appreciate your sentiment, but I think you are wrong

OK... Care to explain why I am wrong?

[KidCreole]

"“It felt so good to be back a part of it all the last month and I wish the season had gone differently."

 

Statements like this this make me feel like Noam Chomsky

[Rabiusmaximus]

I'm not a scientist

 

I just don't believe what you say to be true

 

The ACL isn't something that is stronger after it breaks, like a bone

 

It is weaker

So for that reason alone I think it's weird it was his other one that went

Neither am I, but it is undeniably true that you have an increased chance of injuring the other acl afterwards for the reasons I gave above.

 

And yes it is weaker, which means you are going to put extra stress on the healthy one to compensate.

 

That is why it is not really weird to suffer an injury your other leg.

I'm not convinced a repaired cruciate is weaker these days.

 

It's not like they stick a few stitches through your ligament, they basically replace it completely.

 

Just bad luck for him I think.

How long does it take to train to be a specialist surgeon like yourself.

Wondering if I have enough years left in me to give it a go. It does sound quite easy.

Not long f'n'd, you should give it a shot.

[Dynamo]

Poor bugger

Well I just serviced three old outboards that were goosed & after a few transplants from one. Ended up with two good runners.

Knee surgeries can't be much harder.

 

Just find a few of these fat fkrs from the documentaries that are stuck on their couch & buy their ACL's (they don't need them) then transplant them onto rich sports men/women.

 

Easy Peasy

[DelMonte]

Fucking abysmal luck.

 

Have to feel for him. Is he out of contract this summer? Poor cunt if he is.

Shouldn't have to look too far from home, given the amount of time you spend on here.

[Oregon Red]

feel bad for the lad.

At times he showed glimpses of being a good player.

Time to go back to university Tommie, new career.

[tightbreeks]

He played as well as anyone at Easter road, made it look easy. Once the midfield followed the midfield runners, hoban was always there to mop things up and make the right decision. Come back soon hoban, we need you!
