Update on Jamal's injury...

[Cerberus Blade]

According to today's Sheffield Star, Wilder reveals:

“Blackman’s looked a really awkward fall. I don’t know where it’s going to be until we get the results from the experts".

Nothing.

I just find that statement incredibly vague. Surely we must know which part of him is injured? Head, neck, shoulder, arm, ribs? Add to this, the fact that there was no obvious sign from Blackman himself which part of him was injured during the fall, i.e. he wasn't clutching an arm, or a rib, or whatever...I just find the whole thing a bit mysterious.

This reminds me a bit of Matty Done's mysterious "fractured jaw" last season. Which miraculously "healed" in about a week.

Maybe Chris is just playing cards close to chest and is going to surprise us with Blackman back between the sticks on Saturday? Or maybe he just doesn't know and the hospital treating him have no idea either? They've had sufficient time to do some basic tests by now.

In some ways, this is good news, because it's an indicator that there's probably nothing seriously wrong with him. Let's see.

Think you will find it is just the Journo filling up his allotted space with "no news" UTB

 

[beatific blade]

Or maybe he doesn't know yet because he hasn't had any results back from the experts...

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Wasn't that the quote from his post match interview?

In any case, it's bound to be vague if nothing's come back from his scans / x-ray yet. Like has been said above, just journo's filling column space.

I thought he'd broken his collarbone... is that not right?

 

[Grappler]

Not heard anything official.

In fact, I seem to think someone said that he had jarred his back, which could just mean a week off.

I thought he was pretending ,according to some surgeon on here.

Is that a euphenism or urban slang?

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

I heard that his body was too long for the scanner and all they know is his belly button piercing is intact.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Whatever he's done, there'll be a load of swelling to go down before any real assessments can be made. That'll be 3 or 4 days. Then they'll be able to see what's what and give a prognosis.

Or he's faking, for dropping a bollock and he'll be back at Chelsea within a week...

 

[elgoog44]

He will be back bigger stronger and ready to be thrown back into the action, he is eating his readybrek as we speak and as we know then he will be ready for anything..

Can't we just pretend that the club were lying to us?
It seems to make so many people feel so much better!

I heard that they couldn't actually get him to the hospital in the first place on account of the fact that the ambulance doors wouldn't shut with him laying down in it.

 

[Tunstall Fred]

I can remember a former full back of ours having to miss a few games because he apparently fell over and broke his wrist,walking his dog

There was no injury, or ambulance. It was a limo and he was going partying in Chelsea for 8.30pm.

We know what Wilders like with his tall tales about him wanting Ched winning league one and the like...

(Very much ITK on this but can't reveal which voice in my head told me)

Yes that's my thoughts as well Sitwell.
Dropped a bollock and played possum to cover up his mistake.If so Wilder won't be fooled.

Looks like Jamal isn't the only one to fall and land on his head.

[BushBlade]

Bullshit. I've just seen him on the Kings Road breakdancing.

Whoosh

Martin Samuel reports.

"Chelsea back up Wilder lies"

See photo if secret meeting at Wicker Hotel between Conte and Wilder, where Conte us given a bottle of Hendersons relish in a brown envelope for his silence.

Because of his height, he's more susceptible to a back injury. Apart from having further to fall if he does go arse over tit, laws of physics would suggest that leverage around his lower back would result in an increase in the stresses on the vertebrae, discs and nerves due to his body length above and below it. Its much easier to break a 2 foot stick vs a 1 foot stick, to help you get the gist of this.

Fucks sake, I told you not to use that picture. It's being used in court next week. Happy Crab Fish & Chips (a division of Crab Industries) strenuously denies sourcing it's Fish products from Radioactive waters. The glow emanating from the young man in the picture is purely coincidental*

*probably on drugs or something.

Come to think of it, I did see what I thought was some slapper in a limo hanging around near the ground doing that usual thing where they stand up and stick their head out of the sun roof.

In hindsight its just the way Jamal has to sit himself in those things. Poor bugger.

I can just confirm that personally. Back is quite knackered, particularly in the lower lumbar region. Over the years had loads of different injuries, including going arse over tit when jumping for a ball. I'm only 6'4" as well.
