Gemmill 46182 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 The way he went down was very reminiscant of how Shearer collapsed when he did his cruciate ligaments when he was at Blackburn. He did them in December 1992. He didn't play again until late August 1993.......9 months later! 151488[/snapback] Owen was braver though, I remember Shearer screamed when he did his, Owen just seemed to fall to the ground with no expression on his face. Weird. 151511[/snapback] Aye, when you watch the slo-mo replay, he just looks down at his knee as if to say "That can't be right", but he never even flinches. NAILS!

I mean, Owen just seemed to be standing one minute, next he's extending his sabattical for another 6 months! Jesus Wept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6700 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 catmag's comments aside, I spoke to 3 other people in the medical profession before it was confirmed who all said that you need to hope it's not the anterior cruciate as you're looking at a serious risk of a career threatning injury.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 He's 26, not 32 or 33, and an ACL injury isn't the career-ender it used to be in the past. Having said that I expect him to play less games for us in the coming season than he did in the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a new cruciate ligament last year after it had not been discovered that it was torn for at least a year. I had this operation at a hospital being specialised on cruciate ligament damages and doing over 400 cruciate ligament operations each year and are the team docs of the Jorman national handball team. The operation is pretty much standard for them nowadays and the vast majority of people do take a full recovery, either if professional sportsmen or not. Of course there is a certain risk, but I wouldn't call it serious these days. I do actually know very few sportsmen who had to retire in recent year's because of this kind of injury.

Isegrim 9910 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Who's going to compensate us though? 151438[/snapback] Read a few posts up! 151443[/snapback] It's financed by a fund or something like that. Isegrim's usually a bit more accurate than that. I'm not sure there will be a contingency fund of several million quid to cover Owen's wages. Pretty sure this is one reason Ferguson kicked up such a fuss about Rooney. 151444[/snapback] The thing is why I am not sure is because there seems to be very little money in the fund, so that it would hardly cover the wages of any top player in a European league. Especially not the wages Newcastle throw at players. So it might either be a kind of insurance thing or FIFA only paying compensation based on what a player in the 3rd Trinidadian league earns. And thinking of how greedy FIFA are and normally don't want to give a penny to clubs I rather think it might be a case of the latter... 151449[/snapback] Newcastle will get something like 2m CHF out of the compensation pool from FIFA.
