vikingTON 10,256 Report post Posted March 15 (edited) 'Scientists haven't got round to disproving by garbage theory so it's definitely legit' thread for this pish. Scientists have found no evidence whatsoever that playing on an artificial surface is a physiological cause of injury for footballers at any level of the game. It directly follows from this that there can be no physiological reason for injury relapses on an artificial surface, seeing as there isn't any physiological difference in the first place. Didn't think we'd have to walk you through Logic 101 class as well, but here we are. Edited March 15 by vikingTON 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salvo Montalbano 1,269 Report post Posted March 15 Hes 34, has had 16 years of knee injuries, and had two surgeries on the same knee. You're a fucking moron if you cant see how he'll never be able to get a surgery that rids him of that, certainly not while he wants to keep playing.Don't tennis players disprove that? Nadal would have been fucked had he done his knees ten years sooner, but he's recovered to the top level. Murray will hopefully recover after his hip resurfacing. Footballers have come back from injuries than in previous years would have been career threatening. If anything, staying off firm pitches would make some sense if the reason for his plastic pitch "exile" is the one given. After all, there are some springy artificial surfaces out there and there are some very firm grass pitches in Scotland, especially in the winter. Almost like not all plastic pitches and not all grass pitches are identical. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How you've not grasped that yet is incredible. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LiviLion 2,050 Report post Posted March 16 All this plastic pitch chat has just convinced me further that this game is a stick on 0-0. There's never ever ever been a good game on an artificial surface. Apparently. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HibeeJibee 7,823 Report post Posted March 16 It reflects a lack of discipline and commitment in the squad when, on the back of the autumn shenanigans, you've got the goalkeeper retiring at short notice... 2 players not travelling citing the playing surface... and a principal striker being omitted for injury yet starting (and scoring) in 2 games in 4 days the week before. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qos1990 55 Report post Posted March 17 Steven Fletcher scores again. Bugger all wrong with him .Listened to sportsound the other night, Steven Thompson has been with Faddy basically said that Fletch couldn’t have played on AstroTurf because of injuries he’s had and is managing at the moment, so that ruled him out of Kazakhstan and basically the San Marino game we should have enough to get by them regardless of which striker plays upfront. So they told him to stay at home rest up. Which probably is right enough, hopefully keep him fit enough for next two games. Where he’ll be vital to us. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charger29 72 Report post Posted March 17 Another MOTM performance by McGinn. Villa fans love the guy and are convinced a big offer from a EPL team will come in soon enough. I think he's going to end up starting both games now. Need him to be a bit higher up the pitch though as he'll still make silly mistakes from time to time. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McGregor should be the main man in midfield, but I'd be happy enough to see any two of McTominay/McGinn/Armstrong alongside him. What's the over/under on withdrawals this week? I'd go 7.5. -1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billy Rubin 206 Report post Posted March 17 I've been watching Ollie Burke quite a lot since he's came back to Scotland. He's essentially a greyhound with an excellent burst of pace and absolutely no peripheral awareness. I can see quite a lot of Didier Agathe in him, which makes me wonder whether Burke might ( one day) be the answer to our RB/ RWB conundrum* * I'm absolutely NOT suggesting Burke starts at RB next week. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
accies1874 3,630 Report post Posted March 17 Liam Kelly's getting called up to replace Archer.I'd consider Findlay if/when McKenna and Mulgrew pull out. ETA: Findlay has indeed been called up - Archer, Bannan and Mulgrew out. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EdinburghLivi 382 Report post Posted March 17 If McKenna pulls out, I imagine Halkett will also be in. Although I said this last time... I don't think Kelly has been as good as of late as he was at the start of the season, so it's a surprising call up. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
