Goldson out for rest of season

[Themaruso]

According to Chris Jack

Torn Ligaments

Leaves us with 2 centre half's... and no doubt one of them will get injured before next week

 

[ThePizzaCat]

Just confirmed by the gaffer at the press conference

 

[BoyleRFC1]

Playing with an injury? Could be what's happened with his form

 

[SuperGers07]

Playing with an injury?

Done his knee ligaments on Wednesday training

Confirmed, wonder how long he’s being carrying it, regardless of form, we’re short of number in the defence.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

Far all he is the current whipping boy, we will be shafted if we get an injury to souttar or balogoun. Nobody wants to see ben davies brought in out the cold.

Step up Leon King

 

[butcherboy]

No, he did it in training on Wednesday.

 

[Blue Phoenix]

Was looking forward to a rested and re invigorated Connor for the run in too. More bad luck.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

What’s the usual lay off from that

 

[Chimo]

Honest to f*ck, world war 1 regiments didn't get as many injuries as we do.

 

[Eighteen Seventy Two]

This season must be a record breaker for injuries.

 

[FrazzGers]

So we’re down to 2 CBs and potentially not able to sell Goldson if he’s still injured by the time the transfer window opens?

Amazing.

2 days

Amazing.

King? Davies?

 

[ferguson]

Awful news. Ben Davies was on the bench recently so unless he's been injured very recently we have three central defenders available and other options too.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

The problem here is we can't sell an injured player.

 

[Bear84]

Could well have played his last game for us if he heads to Saudi in the summer.

Best for all if he does.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

Step up Leon King

Covered himself in less glory than goldson on his appearances. I know he is still young though. But, he too would be in out the cold and thats not ideal.

 

[butcherboy]

PC says back for pre-season.

Lets hope he means at some other club.

 

[julian candy]

Blow after blow.

 

[tr0211]

Not ideal but better to rest and recover now, ready for next season. Hope he gets well soon. An in form Goldson is one of the first names on the team sheet for me. We need to get him back to that level.

 

[Jelle1880]

%^*& sake. I don't think he's up for it anymore at the level we need him to be but that's terrible for him.

 

[Gascoigne87]

Can this season just end please

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Not ideal at all.

Big opportunity for Souttar and Balogun though, let’s hope they can get through it. I’m sure Connor will continue to be a leader in the dressing room, he’ll still have a very important role from now until the end of the season.

 

[sandbankbear]

We are cursed

 

[Papasmurf]

And that’s the result of a player playing continually without a break for years. It’s

 

[SuperGers07]

Cortés and Danilo also won’t feature this season he’s confirmed

Guess we already knew that was a stretch anyway

 

[stefanovitch]

Awful news. Ben Davies was on the bench recently so unless he's been injured very recently we have three central defenders available and other options too.

Would rather play Leon King than Ben Davies

 

[MaxMK]

I actually can’t believe some of the comments on here. The guy has just had a season ending injury. He’s one of our own and this is the way we chat about him. We are awful for turning on our own. I’d much rather have Goldson available for the run in than not have him. Even if he was on the bench. This is terrible news.

 

[South Belfast Broxi]

As much as Goldson is rightly criticised, anything happens to Balogun and Souttar, the other options are worse

 

[insanicdrunk]

Covered himself in less glory than goldson on his appearances. I know he is still young though. But, he too would be in out the cold and thats not ideal.

He was playing with Sands though. Playing with Balogun or Souttar would be better. Hopefully doesn’t come to it though.

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Christ. Gutted for the big man, hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

 

[insanicdrunk]

Is it the training pitch that is adding to our problems?

 

[Maughlan]

And that’s the result of a player playing continually without a break for years. It’s

Possibly the case but ligaments can go at any time with a twist or bad turn.

I’m surprised they are saying he’ll be back for pre-season.

 

[TheProdfather]

Played his last game for us by looks of things then.

who's going to buy him?

 

[Davie Weir]

That’s a bit of a nightmare.

Relying on Balogun to play every game is a big risk. Hopefully Leon King and Ben Davies can step up when needed.

 

[deedle]

Is it the training pitch that is adding to our problems?

We've picked up more than our fair share of injuries when training.

Something's not right.

 

[julian candy]

Dropped for a few games and all of a sudden out for the season.

Just to make sure I'm following here. You're suggesting that either he's faking an injury because he's been dropped, or that the club are pretending he's injured. Why?

 

[Macdonsj]

We've picked up more than our fair share of injuries when training.

Something's not right.

there is the possibility that the shambolic pre-season has left our players vulnerable to injuries

 

[The Lone Sniper]

No problem - he's garbage and needs sold according to most on here.

 

[butcherboy]

Please show me where I wished him any ill will?

It's a no brainer that we'd rather have him fit for the run-in than injured, which should work well for you.

 

[Cooperfan]

We do get a lot of luck, just that it's all bad. I thought last season was unbelievable but this season has surpassed it. I hope we have had medical experts in to see what can be changed at the club.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

The problem here is we can't sell an injured player.

That's my issue.

Was hoping to sell him in the summer.

I guess that's less likely now. Typical !

 

[barcelonabear]

Not ideal as we would likely still need him at some point in the run in, Not ideal either if we were looking to move him on in the summer either

 

[Papasmurf]

Possibly the case but ligaments can go at any time with a twist or bad turn.

I’m surprised they are saying he’ll be back for pre-season.

absolutely. But if your body is quite fatigued overall, it makes it more susceptible to injury.

 

[JayDee]

All the best to Connor.

Can Leon Balogun play every game these days? There used to be an issue.

 

[Barrymoped]

Dropped for a few games and all of a sudden out for the season.

Aye mate, he has went in the huff and torn his own ligaments intentionally……..that will show Clement!

Honest to Christ.

 

[Ray Von]

He's was unlikely to be leaving in the summer anyway. A bad injury pretty much rules that out completely.
