Fleck and Egan

[Bobby b]

This thread reminds me of the classic song, "Talking about my operation" by The Who

 

[Large Mendonca]

This is getting like the scene in Jaws where they are comparing wounds............

....and it's becoming abundantly clear why no-one fancies forum football - they're all crocked !!

 

[Davalon]

Egan had his leg amputated below the knee last night, but he was back in training this morning and should be ok to play against Fulham once the anti-biotics kick in.

He'll still be quicker than half the team

My Subbuteo goalie was hopeless. Barely came off his line, useless with crosses, even nutmegged once.

 

[Pedro Verde]

But at least Subbuteo players have the decency to break

I had a lot of subbuteo players with broken legs. Used Bostik to glue them to the base

 

[BlairBlade]

I did the same, I broke mine at 22, went to the hospital and they said it was a sprain. Went back a year later to get it checked and it was broken. I’ve had 2 operations to shave the bone and stop it grinding but it still hurts most days. Mornings are worse. It’s caused issues with my back and other leg through compensating as well.

If I ever see the nurse again who told me that it was a sprain I’d go full ‘misery’ on her and break her ankles.

Bloody NHS - or were you going private?

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Was hoping for a press conference today to enlghten us, but must be tomorrow.

I was thinking the same, they usually have them on Thursday before a Saturday match.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Bloody NHS - or were you going private?

NHS first, went private for the 2nd opinion. When they told me it was a sprain I had 3 months off and got back to playing sports. Took me another 9 months to get a 2nd opinion when I realised it wasn’t right.

Diane Abbot did the diagnosis.

Headache apparently...............

The female MP who suffers the most abuse

Diane Abbott received more online abuse in the first half of this year than all women MPs from the Conservative […]

It might be a good laugh to you, and the others that mock her, but don't you think the huge amount of abuse that she gets is sad, and as she open target for it, does she really deserve all the abuse and mocking?

I'm sure she gives a shit about what I think.

Also, that post you quote is fairly mild. But respect to you and your opinion

Probably not, but I just find the amount of abuse she receives is horrendous, and how people think that it is morally acceptable just to constantly mock her in any which way they see fit.

I'm apolitical, I mock anyone who in my opinion is doing a shit job. I've given hancock a far bigger bucket load than I've.given her.

I keep coming on to have a look at this thread and I can tell you I'm very disappointed! Four pages of drivel and nothing clear about Fleck or Egan. Tut tut...go stand outside the headmaster's office.

I snapped my ankle 5 years ago, it shattered into a few pieces. I didn't get a picture of the break but managed to get this one with the plates and screws.
It is more painful now in the cold weather than it was then.
When I did it the adrenalin kicked in and lasted for ages. Medic told me to take some paracetemol, no gas or air.
Amazing the pain the body can cope with at times.
I am usually one to oan and groan too about a jab or toothache!!

In the hospital waiting room (an hr after the break and with just paracetemol) I was joking with people and listening to Walsall v Utd on the radio.
So Egan might not necessarily have been in huge pain.

You can see the feint outline of my legs, which are certainly not athletic!- but they are not the 'large' legs seen on the x-ray posted on here earlier. They cannot be Egan's legs.

Came here for Egan news and reading injury swap stories

Lovely stories about everyone’s broken bone history.

Oh. Oh Top Trumps can I join in? this is when I had my @rse reattached.....

I think that's upside down.

I broke my knee playing football and had to have a knee replacement. Stopped my football career.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

I really hope John Egan isn't reading this thread, he will be thinking his career is over.

Broke my wrist playing football about 20 years ago, it was such a bad break that they had to put a temporary cast on when I got to the hospital and for the main operation they had to put 2 pins in. It came round to having the pot off and having the pins taken out and that was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I'd got two 4 inch long pins in my wrist and they just yanked them out with no anaesthetic at all. I didn't really feel the second one as I nearly passed out after the first one.

Two weeks later I broke my collar bone on the same arm, also playing football........

No mobiles in those days and the Polaroid was in the car. I was about 9 and my mum had to sort me out, which made it 100 times more painful.

Nah, we played nowt like football for nearly a year now!

Once, in a former life, I shared a house with a medical student who was known to be a bit “out there”.

I came back to the house from indoor 5-a-side, one night, bringing a mate who’d tripped under a tackle and broken his fall by landing heavily on both elbows, smack down on the polished floor. Poor lad was just about passing out from the pain. “Don’t worry”, says medic, after a thorough examination, “it‘s just bruising. Have a beer, you’ll sleep it off, but it might be a bit sore tomorow”.

Next morning, having failed to sleep at all, let alone sleep it off, we‘re up at A&E, where my mate is found to have shattered both elbows so badly that he spent months with his arms stuck rigid at an angle in those old-fashioned plaster casts. He was a Geordie, who liked a few ales and a moshpit. It did rather cramp his style.

Medic laddo is now a respected member of the profession with senior clinical and teaching posts. We still laugh at him today.

I’ll ask what everyone is thinking SBB........ who wiped his arse for the next few months?

Could have been worse...

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Feckin toe?

 

[Stevo]

Feckin toe?

He's got 9 others......11 if he was from Barnsley.......I thought he was tough

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Since losing JOC we have been really poor at dealing with crosses. Without Egan too it’s going to be an absolute nightmare.
