Scott Golbourne

[Alan]

Just put him under the knife and get it sorted. We don't want a second Razak (bless his poor crocked soul).

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's not an injury you can operate on (if it is the same thing).

 

[Alan]

Well that would complicate things quite a bit. Doubt it is the same as Boukari, though, as IIRC Boukari's injury is supposedly like a one in a million thing? It would be quite the coincidence to end up with two of those at the same club.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's a common enough injury:

Boukari is just a crock.

 

[Alan]

I thought Boukari's issue was with his calf?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's Golbourne's injury.

Boukari has had innumerable things wrong with him. Thankfully he'll be gone in a year.

It is. Rare as it is (collapsed blood vessels in the muscle I think) Danny Fox had exactly the same thing.

Golbourne's injury is the sheath of tissue around his foot/ heel. Very common in running backs too.

 

[Alan]

Cheers, wasn't up to speed with either injury in truth.

Golbourne's sounds like "turf toe", but in the heel. Weird injury, tough to do anything about as Dan rightly says.

Turf toe is a sprain of the joint that causes a strain of the ligament which is hard to heal (honestly, no pun). Plantar fascitis is an overuse injury where inflammation causes pain. Hence running backs getting a lot of it.

 

[Alan]

Aye, right you are.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Most of us will have cleared a ball and had some bellend trying to block it clatter the bottom of your boot in the process. It bloody hurts. Apparently plantar fasciitis feels like that all the time.

 

[Lycan]

I get it in my right foot whenever I've been on my feet all day/do too much exercise. It's not as bad as getting clattered trying to clear a ball but it's not pleasant and you certainly couldn't play professional football with it flaring up. It's like a dull ache in the heel/arch and a sharp pain when you push forward to take another step.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I had plantar Fascitis in my early teen years. It bothered me for a couple of years and actually stopped me playing for certain periods of time and you certainly couldn't play to full potential if you were able to play.

GPs told me there was nothing wrong and to rest and a Physio said the same. It was only when I went to an orthopaedic specialist who diagnosed me within seconds (similar with my ruptured ACL story, NHS is wank for muscle and joint issues) made me some orthotics and I haven't had the problem since.

 

[malta mick]

I can fully believe that Punts, in fact my wife suffered from it for a few months. A chiropodist/podiatrist diagnosed hers though.

Hause is an ok replacement to play occasionally at left back but if this is going to be mid to long term we need to get someone in. He was destroyed at boro away, anyone quick will cause him issues imo.

As for Rowe.... He is such a forgettable dull player, I don't think he is a good option for next season either.

I don't think it was a lack of pace that did for him at the Riverside, he just totally lost his head. Everything he touched went to shit.

 

[Tony Towner]

Oops, wrong player. O'Hanlon was the lad I was thinking of when I googled him not Simpson! It's not like they look alike either :facepalm:

Jesse Lingard would make a shit left back aswell

Plantar facilitis is also common in old policemen and old guys who've spent the last 40 years on their feet 8-12 hours a day on concrete factory floors wearing work boots (i.e. me)

My dad. Working as a Turner since he was 16/17, he is 64 now.

Plantar fasciitis is agony, literally. I had it when I worked in a hotel wearing uncomfortable hard shoes for 8 hrs a day, 6 days a week.
When you are on your feet, your feet feel numb initially, and then it's like your heels are standing on hot coals whilst being pinched. And there is nothing you can do to relieve it.
I tried putting my feet in cold ice buckets, with bicarbonate of soda added. All it did was remove dead skin, the plantar fasciitis feels like a pain in your bones, nothing relieves it.

I have been working an office job for almost 12 months now and my feet are soft again but if we go into town shopping, or standing at a gig for a few hours, it flares up again, it is like torture, nothing relieves it.
