Cosmonaut 160 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Anyone on here already posted about this that is ITK ?? ... if so, apologies Gadge on FMTTM who seems reliable saying he is out for a long time .. some kind of bad muscle injury in training that required treatment at JCUH If anyone has already posted, apologies .. was hoping it's *** but I think this is true.

Blanco 4,900 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 That's some statement. Out for the season with a muscle injury? A bit dramatic I think Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I sure as hell hope not. He could be a very valuable player for us as he has already shown this season. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 James Cook would be a strange choice of hospital to use, there are at least two NHS hospitals closer as well as the private hospital that the club does Medicals at. Obviously this could be true regardless of that but something doesn't sound right about that. Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmonaut 160 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yeah. Some of it sounds dodgy info, maybe not out for the full season but sounds like a bad injury .. further post on fmttm about it - "He got kicked at training a few days ago and they thought nowt of it but he had a big bruise and they thought he might have compartment syndrome which in simple terms the pressure builds up between the muscle space and they have to operate on it by opening the skin to release the pressure some people even loose limbs coz of it if not treated quick" If true, that's gash. I think he's been great for us and glad we didn't sell him. Oh well :( Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Aye, my first thoughts were like Will's. Surely you'd take him to a hospital nearer to Hurworth / Darlo if it happened in training? Unless it's hppened at sea and they needed use of the Helipad... Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Just had a look at the thread. A few different people are saying James Cook, which seems to corroborate the theory. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Just had a look at the thread. A few different people are saying James Cook, which seems to corroborate the theory. Still doesn't really stack up logically, especially the story about it being caused by an impact, I just can't for the life of me think what could rule him out for 9 months from an impact to a muscle :s Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Logically, I could only see it if it were to do with his body not reacting as it should to the muscular bruising. If it were to do with the way his body reacts to injury, then it'd be understandable... But the lads had several injuries before. None of which has his body reacted to with any concern. Seems. Sry odd... Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 There's no logic to this whatever. Talk about scare***ering? Unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: I've also updated the thread title to make it clear that we aren't dealing in facts. Link to post Share on other sites
Daveymfc 39 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 After a quick google search it's more than possible for a professional athlete to be out for 'months' from severe bruising. Also it doesn't say that he went to James Cook straight away so he could quite easily of gone elsewhere first and referred to JC. I'm not saying it's true or anything but it's not as unbelievable as some are making out and to be honest it's quite a far fetched rumour to make up Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying it's true or anything but it's not as unbelievable as some are making out and to be honest it's quite a far fetched rumour to make up Not sure anyone made it sound unbelievable, just questioning some aspects of the story. Info from FMTTM is mixed reliability at best and without reading the post myself or knowing the poster I have no other way to determine likelihood other than just looking at some of the facts logically.

Air Resistance 26 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 James Cook would be a strange choice of hospital to use, there are at least two NHS hospitals closer as well as the private hospital that the club does Medicals at. Obviously this could be true regardless of that but something doesn't sound right about that. James cook is the absolute logical place to go. Unless it's something relatively simple or scheduled surgery both Darlington memorial and the friarage will just refer you to straight to james cook as that's were the specialists are. Hence why many people just go straight to jcuh and bypass the others to save time. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Oh dear, many doubted the validity of the Braithwaite story to begin with, I guess we should accept the worst straightaway and hope it pans out better than we first thought. Hopefully the club will be upfront with this news and if it is true then one of the options for GM goes into the wastebin Link to post Share on other sites
