CBRammette Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Just listening to the George Thorne podcast mentioned in the ex-rams thread. He uses the exact phrase of cowfield for the pitch when he did his ACL for us in the pre-season friendly which has been mentioned on here since yesterday. What is it with us and that position. If I played there would never sign for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I played there would never sign for us! Cant agree with you .. that’s finger pointy blame game and really not helpful. The pitch is a natural thing, subject to weather and a raft of other stuff - generally speaking ours is par for the course or better. This is also a physical contact sport with athletes playing at maximum revs .. injuries will happen. The pitch isn’t great at the moment but indifferent pitches go with the job. As do the risks and the salary. It is muddy and wet but it isn’t a ploughed field. There seems to be some tentative news .. I am hearing that maybe ligaments are ok .. to be confirmed on Monday .. rooting for you KB ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad news is that George Thorne is the donor. ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was remarking on the coincidence of choice of phrase having just that minute listened to George. Your post is the unhelpful one in being antagonistic to someone who generally takes a reasonable stance on here and who was merely making an observation. Strangely after following Derby since I was old enough to make that unfathomable choice around 40 years ago, I am aware a pitch is a natural thing, that football is a contact game and that hopefully our players are playing at maximum revs. I had missed the rain and mud bit though being shielded again. But thank you for explaining as I hadnt realised all of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feeling is it could go either way but there was a sense / glimmer of hope. I wouldn't take that as a glimmer of hope, the full quote is as below. "I talked to Krystian. Unfortunately, the injury affects the same knee. Research on Monday. The prognosis is average, but Krystian still has hope." "In the event of a rupture of Bielik's cruciate ligaments, there would be a break of several months. He could forget about playing for Euro 2020. If the ligaments are not damaged, the disconnection with the ball will probably take several weeks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lander Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 My mate once dislocated his knee cap (visibly one of the most disgusting things I’ve witness) playing 5 a side, lay on the floor for an hour and a half waiting for the ambulance to turn up. They turned up and in excitement he turned around and his knee cap popped back into place, he hasn’t played since. Not related to the injury he just can’t be arsed to play but hopefully Bielik will play for us again anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thank you for explaining as I hadnt realised all of that I am not usually antagonistic, Sure you refer to the DM position but you’re on it with the pitch to my mind as well.

I think Billy .. what I was implying was, as we stand now it might not be cruciates .. which in my mind is a glimmer of hope but .. yeas, I get your point, it’s a slim chance .. I’d still rather cling on to the hope that it’s 6-8 weeks rather than 9-12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I did an acl and then after the rebuild did medial ligaments in the same knee skiing. The acl was a full rupture, the medial a slight tear but the latter was far more painful and took a couple of months to heal naturally. So here's hoping.

After I snapped an ACL in a badminton tournament, my knee never recovered, despite the surgery. Tore the meniscus later, so another op and then last year I had to go full knee replacement, due to wear. Hope this doesn't dog Krystian's career. Bit of a life changer, sadly.
