Yeah I said this a few weeks ago.
The poor blokes not well enough for this job. It really is a great pity but he’s much much too delicate.
I heard it's nothing but a bruised ankle if so not much to worry about?Quote:

It's a shame for all involved. Players want to play.
I wonder if there should be a clause in a contract that states that players who miss X amount of games due to injury will be released?
It's a controversial idea and I there's plenty pros and cons, but there'll be plenty of self-employed boys on here who don't get paid if they're ill etc.
No decent player would sign such contract tho.Quote:

At the moment, he may get some bench time but is well behind at least three other teammates in the pecking order. A pity. A few goals in competitive matches and he could well turn into a decent contributer to the teams' success.....if he can stay off the treatment table.Quote:

One NFL player recently got injured at the training facility and continues to get paid whereas if injury occurred away from duty he wouldn't have.Quote:

I've heard similar stories of an American sportsman who broke an ankle away from the sport, and knowing they wouldn't get paid, came onto work, forced their broken ankle into boots and arranged for one of the other players to drop some weights on the broken ankle in the weights room, so they would continue to get paid.Quote:

Strange contrast with the way Joe Bennet was treated.

If Vassell was out of contract he would be gone as well.
Joe Bennett was offered a contract early in the year and turned it down.Quote:

Still, they could and should have done something for him.
I’d have looked after an employee in similar circumstances and Ccfc have got more money than me.
Did they actually go ahead and drop the weights directly on to an already broken ankle? - Ouch!! :hehe:Quote:
