Seriki

[GrayBlade]

Leeds and Burnley are both up with the two darlings gone maybe the refs will leave us alone now

Not if we end up playing Frank Lampard’s Coventry City.

I have had a fair few injuries/accidents over the last 60 years but nothing compares to the pain of a dislocated shoulder. Doctors at A&E put it back in three hours later and the pain was gone, it was just sore for a couple of weeks. If that is all he has done he won't be ready to play this week but after that he should be alright.

Always finds a way to get injured
4th of the season today
Hopeless

 

[Liaminho9]

As a few others have said, the Blackburn players were completely disrespectful and unsportsmanlike in pressuring the referee and our physios to get him off…
Especially considering Hedges was helped off the field with an injury 15 minutes before.

This made me chuckle.

Two injuries I've been unfortunate enough to get from playing rugby.
My collar bone still pokes out. Pains excruciating, sleeping is difficult and there's nothing that can be done for it other than a sling to keep it in place.

With a dislocated shoulder it can be popped back in.
A shit load of discomfort and bruising follows, but it can heal pretty quickly.

Silent Blade .... zzzzZ

I'm with you on the collar bone. I effectively dislocated both my collar bones. (There's a medical term for it) Fucking agony. Both of them stick out now. Same re sleeping.

Re him getting off pitch I couldn't even sit up when I did mine. So I'm not suprised he didn't move. Knew he'd done some way his legs were wriggling sbout but he wasn't rolling about

I did my collar bone playing rugby, and yep the bone permanently sticks out of my shoulder. Our coach kept trying to get me to go back on the pitch and play, for some reason he kept squirting water on it from a water bottle, like some sort magic sponge replacement. Anyway, it probably only took about 6 weeks to heal.

Don't know much about dislocated shoulders, except I've known a few people who've just had them "popped" back in again and carried on. I guess it depends on the damage it does to ligaments and tendons that will determine severity

Had to laugh at the magic-sponge anecdote.

Similarly, my coach asked me if I could lift my arm above 90°... if I could "there's no way it's broken."
I couldn't... until he helped (forced) it up there and then declared me alright to continue.
(I refused).

An X-Ray half an hour later revealed it was snapped in two places.
Mine still hadn't properly healed 6-8 weeks later but I played out the last few matches of the season dodging tackles on that side.

As for shoulder dislocation... my mate popped it back in and I finished the game in a lot of discomfort, but was then out for a few weeks once the swelling and bruising kicked in.
Have also had mates need surgery for bad ones, so it really depends.

A lot of guys get them when they're tap-tackled as they're not braced for impact, which isn't dissimilar to what happened with Seriki today.

One of their players had to be dragged away and should have been booked for harassing the ref and Seriki.

The ref seemed to lose his yellow card when it came to needing to issue one to a Blackburn player.

Sounds like your injury updates are all based on first hand experience!

Not an expert in hamstrings as my old mate Silent Blade pointed out.

Don't think I ran fast enough to pop one of those .

Ref was weird. Very fussy first half, giving free kicks for next to nothing. Second half the opposite he played on for most things.

I think it was guy that injured Seriki, that started acting like a nob. I think he thought Seriki was wasting time and play acting

Seriki- injury not deadly serious, possibly back for first leg, should be back for second leg.

Where’ve you heard that please?

 

[metalblade]

In the days before subs the players arm would be bandaged to his body and they'd play on Once worked with a lad and found him on the floor one day he sez grab my foot and pull for all you can while I pop my hip back in which he did. He says thanks and now yer know why I'm an ex Marine, proper hard he was he got injured in service and his hip popped out now and then ending his army career.

The good think is that Sereki wouldn’t be a starter in the 1st leg.
He’s just a great option to bring off the bench.

I remember when we played Bristol City away, he came on as sub and instantly sprinted down the wing creating our goal.

Genuine, credible source.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Genuine, credible source.

He’s had the scan then?

I assume so.
