I can't believe that you of all people on here, a voice of calm and reason, usually, have actually fell for all this stuff.
It is a simple, normal reaction for a fan to ask when a player gets injured. 'When will he be back?'
Of course it is our business.
Thanks for the “compliment”!
There’s nothing wrong with asking, just don’t feel entitled to an answer.
Entitled being the key word here.
I’m no different in that I’d really like to know when our “big” players will be back.
Fact is that medical teams often don’t know.
Players are different.
You’ll remember McCoist being back eight days after a cartilage operation.
Never been heard of before or since.
The other side is players not being back when they’re expected.
Can you imagine this place if we were told Goldson would be back after the World Cup then doesn’t make it?
Yes, exactly.
This has happened.
Another view is giving the opposition too much good news.
Again, we’d be rubbing our hands if we knew Jota would be out for the season.
Well, we were happy when it looked like McGregor would miss a big chunk of the term.
Does that get me my “calm and reason” badge back?
By the way, you should see what’s happening “under the water”!
