The Buzzard Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 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. Link to comment

Clydeside_Sheep Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I found his wild crying pathetic FFS, whatever happened to the big hearted MT we all know and love? Link to comment
The Boofon Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Confirmed by club he’s done his cruciate. Out all season. Link to comment
Tyzo_1903 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 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). Link to comment
Mr John Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Fuckin nightmare season for injuries man. Link to comment
TheRock Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Can we recall Reynolds? Worrying cover if/when Devlin gets injured again.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. Link to comment
Rabiusmaximus Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Really weird that it's his other knee!Not really... Link to comment

maryhilldon Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If you don't go in hard enough you'll get injured, thats what i was always told.By the wife? Link to comment
Rabiusmaximus Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 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 surelyPossibly... 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. Link to comment
Rabiusmaximus Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I appreciate your sentiment, but I think you are wrongOK... Care to explain why I am wrong? Link to comment
KidCreole Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 "“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 Link to comment
Rabiusmaximus Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 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 weakerSo for that reason alone I think it's weird it was his other one that wentNeither 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. 1 Link to comment

It's not like they stick a few stitches through your ligament, they basically replace it completely. Just bad luck for him I think. Link to comment

It does sound quite easy. 3 Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Not long f'n'd, you should give it a shot.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.

DelMonte Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Fucking abysmal luck. Have to feel for him. Is he out of contract this summer? Poor cunt if he is. 1 Link to comment

Oregon Red Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 feel bad for the lad.At times he showed glimpses of being a good player.Time to go back to university Tommie, new career. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 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! Link to comment
