Unusual for the FollowFollow medical department to be wrong.

Thank fukc for the NHS.
Imagine going to the FF docs.
"Hi I have a sore knee"
"OK, without knowing any details Im going to diagnose a ruptured ACL, shattered knee bone and onset of osteoporosis. Best course of action will be to cut your leg off. Saves a lot of time and money. No point in a 2nd opinion. Im an expert as my friend hurt his knee at football once. Totally different circumstances but what does that matter....."

Great news if he is back soon.
I really wanted our captain on the pitch the day 55 is won.

 

[RfcWATP]

Where did he confirm this? I heard his post-match on RangersTV but was only half-listening. Not sure I heard mention of Tav.

don’t think it was mentioned in the RTV interview unless I missed it aswell. Was mentioned at the presser

 

[ChildOfGoth]

What’s the projected return date ?

 

[Gramps1]

Tav will lead us out in Gdansk!

Against the scum would do me...

 

[coinflipper]

What’s the projected return date ?

After the international break I would guess at. Sooner than that I would treat as a godsend.

Nothing to do with pulling out ffs, anybody that’s spouted that shite has never played a game of football in their life.

He’s at the edge of the opposition box, centre of the pitch, on the offensive. He’s tried to make the tackle and come out in control of the ball to keep the pressure on the opposition, and potentially set up a goal scoring opportunity.

If he goes in full bloodied he potentially gets left caught out of possession against a time that are quick on the counter.

His only other option is to go in hard and foul the other player.

He was unlucky, nothing more, nothing less. Hopefully he comes back quickly.

Don’t agree, it was a poor tackle. He wouldn’t have fouled the player by going in hard. Yes he was unlucky but by being stronger and positioning the leg better there’s less chance of injury.

 

[Morpheus]

Cant wait to have him in our starting 11 again but to rush him back could be detrimental.
He'll lift the trophy regardless.

 

[Hutch42]

Tav will be back in 2 he is a machine

 

[car93los]

This all day long, if you dont go in 100% in a 50/50 you come off second best.

First thing you get taught as you are growing up.

First thing I got taught was the offside rule, then how to take a throw in then never turn your back on the ball.

But Stephen Craigan said it was medial as it happened!!!

 

[Godrup99]

What’s the projected return date ?

What was the injury. It did have the look that it wasn't as bad as some were fearing as there was no real impact, twist of hyper extention.

A 3 month injury would've been end of season to be fair to some although I think some had him crippled

 

[coinflipper]

But Stephen Craigan said it was medial as it happened!!!

Might well have been at that time, might still be even. Truth is nobody knows.

 

[Cuthbert Dibble and Grub]

Either that or he’s a clatty b*stard dunking biscuits in his coffee.

Shhhhhh. It's a way of getting the caffeine into his bloodstream quicker. The whole squad are doing it.

:shh: (don't pass it on)

Baloguns done well and there's no need to rush him back before the break so even if he was nearly ready, I'd pkay it safe and give him the rest.

 

[L_D]

Any Yahoo faint when they watched their illegal stream seeing Tav talking to others in the stand ?

Mon, jump in.

 

[coinflipper]

Baloguns done well and there's no need to rush him back before the break so even if he was nearly ready, I'd pkay it safe and give him the rest.

Medial knee ligament is fairly innocuous though right? A knee sprain would be the laymen term. Can't see Tav wanting to sit out more than necessary.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

What Gerrard actually said:

“James and Kemar will miss the next couple of weeks at least. It's difficult to put an exact date on their return but they will certainly miss the next couple of weeks.

“All being well we should see them in two to three weeks.

 

[rfc_chris_rfc]

Sounds quite optimistic with tav so would be good to get him back in a few weeks.
