buster. 4,808 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Feel for the guy,.....a real blow for the team but we have 9 days in the window to bring someone in as well as Middleton possibly getting more minutes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,752 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Isn't that now Dodoo, Waghorn and Murphy we've had badly injured on that joke of a pitch? Edited August 22, 2018 by Gonzo79 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,487 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Frustrating; he was a key player. That pitch has to be banned. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Season's barely started and our rotten injury record just goes on ... Dorrans, Rossiter, Jack, Coulibaly and now Murphy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,492 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 On Radio Scotland (I know, I know) the other night, someone, a journo, a little better informed that the usual indolent crew, made the point that research in Scandinavia indicated, and indicated actually quite clearly, that the incidence of injuries on plastic is not significantly worse than that of grass. The begged question was avoided, naturally enough, given that it was a Rangers' player who was injured. No one asked: Are types of injuries generally the same? Do plastic pitches produce a higher %age of injuries to ligaments, tendons, cartilages? Are the injuries produced by plastic pitches of greater severity than those produced on grass? These questions must be readily answerable from the research, unless of course, they were never asked. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacK1950 2,249 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Really bad news,the surface should be banned,remember AFAIK the return euro game is on a plastic surface. Research into safer types of footwear for these surfaces might be an answer as they are likely to go away. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Rugby Park certainly wasn't. Anyone who has played on these parks will know that they are actually decent pitches to play on but there's no question you're more likely to injure yourself because there is no give in the ground and the drier the pitch the more dangerous it is. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
