Ryan Jack not on the bench today

[Hazylight1989]

Apologies if this has been covered but I am assuming it was just precautionary with his knee and that terrible pitch.

 

[DragonBlue]

Aye no chance he was getting minutes on it so no point

 

[Supermac1872]

Can only name a certain amount of players.

Don’t think it would be wise to risk him on an artificial pitch so soon after injury.

his knee wasn't the issue I believe it was found the issue was with his back.

 

[GF7]

Would have been a waste of a space on bench having there today, he's not match fit and plastic pitch could set him back.

 

[nasalsinatra]

I did not expect Ryan Jack to be anywhere near that pitch.

 

[insanicdrunk]

There was no way we would have played him, we had Davis and Lundstram if needed for that position. Suspect he will be on the bench on Wednesday.

 

[Scotia]

The only people that should be on that pitch are ice skaters?
In my opinion if you don't have grass you should not be in,
The premier league!

Was it? never seen that reported anywhere.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Good man management by Gio , Ryan will be back.

it was reported on here.

 

[km_2083]

Wouldn’t be risking him on that pitch so no issue , prob back on the bench on Wednesday

 

[albop]

Gio is picking what he thinks is the strongest team possible

Smart move for a knew boss

 

[Hazylight1989]

I thought there might be a chance he starts against Hibs on Wednesday but after today I’d say that’s very unlikely now.

It’s the other side of the city where they have knew bosses, we have a new boss

 

[SergioPorrini]

He had an op on his neck

 

[insanicdrunk]

I really detest plastic pitches. Usually a shit game, worried about injuries and you cant play every player. Sooner livi drop out the better. Sadly Kilmarnock will probably come back up!

 

[albop]

Lol good one

He had an op on his neck

Only on FF
His back knee and neck

 

[jackstar]

Good man management by Gio , Ryan will be back.

I wonder what Gio thought of that pitch. I wonder if they water it,if so,why? Crazy.

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

Come on Bears surely no one needs to ask why Jack wasnt involved today.

How long has he been out?

Never going to be involved on the rubber mat

 

[TommyEgan]

his knee wasn't the issue I believe it was found the issue was with his back.

I know I shouldn't use it as being 100% correct, but in FM he has tendonitis in his knee and it is a pain in the ass trying to keep him for.

Hopefully your are correct and the actual issue he has isn't his knee.

 

[Hagi's bhaji]

Apologies if this has been covered but I am assuming it was just precautionary with his knee and that terrible pitch.

I would imagine so. Just not worth the risk

 

[onestepbehind]

Far to big an asset to the team to be risked on a rubber pitch. The correct decision not to involve him today. Hopefully gets some game time on Wednesday.

[Zapp Brannigan]

I think Jack will be used sparingly until after the winter break. Which would be wise. Maybe the Lyon game and a game like Dundee at home for full starts, but I don't see him featuring much in the upcoming battles. That said, he'll tear it up if he does.

 

[VictoriaBear]

It’s the other side of the city where they have knew bosses, we have a new boss

l gave him credit for a nice little pun. knew = know, ergo Gio knows what to do.
OK, on second thought, maybe a bit of a stretch...

 

[Ted Rangers]

It's a shame he's not been able to get minutes in his legs yet. He could be extremely valuable in December.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Apologies if this has been covered but I am assuming it was just precautionary with his knee and that terrible pitch.

Pretty sure you're bang on with that.

 

[dickadvocaat]

He had an op on his neck

This was the case 100%

It looked like Aribo took a sore one yesterday when he landed on his knee after the umpteenth time he was fouled. Hopefully he's ok from it and there's no lasting effect as he was limping quite a bit afterwards

 

[Scenester87]

All about game management. He's been out for so long and will still be getting up to speed. I'm not expecting him back fully till after Christmas IMO.

When did Big Jock come back?

 

[Alfie shhh!]

So his legs, back and neck are fucked? Wish I never opened this thread!

Like that song..

My neck, my back, my pussy and my crack.

 

[RabSpackman]

Best to ease him in - midfield is somewhere that we have options so we should be able to get him back up to the intensity of first team football gradually over the next month with a lot of matches.

I wonder why they chose plastic.

 

[ROOFE25]

it was reported on here.

Definitely a back injury that kept him out. Issue with his knee is a condition he will need to manage all his career, that can't be fixed.

 

[pelem]

Jeest back from a lengthy injury and some wonder why he wisnae involved on a plastic pitch at Livingston.


Whit, are ye aff yer fuukin nuts.
