a3d Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Uh what the dude got stabbed? Torn knee ligaments out for only 3 weeks? strained knee ligaments out for 2 months? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a tear a much more serious injury? Can someone tell me why I have an option of sending a player to a specialist where he will heal 10 times quicker or keeping it with my physio? Is this something that you have to worry about when you're managing a lower league club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsoluteGenius Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 What I never understood is how the physios help the players deal with a cold. Make them some hot lemon tea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebodyfresh Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Dead leg's are the worst! Is it an actual injury or is it the same as when you used to get punched in the leg by a 'friend' or big brother? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T4RG4 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Some of the smaller injury issues (sprained wrist, 3-4weeks?) should provide you with the option of playing the player with protection. In the wrist case, a protective sleeve or some such. There is the injection option for some cases, but I've never thought the risk of using that was at all worthwhile.

Cavenagh Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Uh what the dude got stabbed? Seeing as a gash is a deep wound, then being stabbed is fairly accurate. It's not a cut nor a graze, but a deep penetrating wound into the muscle. Which is going to take time not only to heal, but to recover from well enough to use that muscle without tearing the injury open again. It's not just the skin that has to knit together, but the muscle itself. Torn knee ligaments out for only 3 weeks? strained knee ligaments out for 2 months? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a tear a much more serious injury? Though they are both ligament injuries, they're different and require different treatments. A strain could be indicative of a more severe problem while a tear is more likely to have come from a challenge. The physio reports are estimates of how long the player will be out, and include the time it takes to recover back to playing fitness. Can someone tell me why I have an option of sending a player to a specialist where he will heal 10 times quicker or keeping it with my physio? Is this something that you have to worry about when you're managing a lower league club? A specialist costs money, which as a lower league club you might not have enough of. What I never understood is how the physios help the players deal with a cold. Make them some hot lemon tea? Pretty much that. Has anyone ever not sent their cold plagued player home?

Pauljs Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Has anyone ever not sent their cold plagued player home? no, because for me its always some youth player i dont give a toss about anyway if it was a important player i would maybe ask the physio to give him a lemsip injection to get through the next match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell me why I have an option of sending a player to a specialist where he will heal 10 times quicker or keeping it with my physio? Is this something that you have to worry about when you're managing a lower league club? the lengths of injuries need to be changed imo i think your right but a gash can be very serious. i play cricket for notts academy and we were playing minor counties and as i tried to dive across the field to stop the ball going for a 4, my leg went over a metal valve and my leg caught the sharp edge, cue a lot of blood. i was out for 3 weeks because it was a deep cut and it got infected not nice. never tore ligaments in my knee but my mate plays for nottm. forest academy and he knows someone who has wrecked theirs and it is longer than 3 months. Some of the smaller injury issues (sprained wrist, 3-4weeks?) should provide you with the option of playing the player with protection. In the wrist case, a protective sleeve or some such. There is the injection option for some cases, but I've never thought the risk of using that was at all worthwhile. i think the protection is a good idea like john terry had earlier this season.

Argel Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I've had a 'proper' dead leg and it is much worse than any comedy child version I ever had at school. It's like the difference between being 'winded', and 'properly winded'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
