There was never any kind of end product with Alves. Talented, but I found him frustrating to watch.Quote:

Yeah he'd literally do a little 360, very oddQuote:

that's not the NHSQuote:

'Successful' surgery is completing what the surgery aimed to do. Eg, resetting broken bones, inserting plates or reattaching tendons.
Successful recovery is what he needs now.
Thanks, doc. I'm aware of that. It's a load of bollocks, though.Quote:

You often read of footballers breaking down again after having 'successful' operations. Hopefully that won't happen with Tanner, but it happens in plenty of cases.
there's a difference between outcomes and interventions.Quote:

Its pretty obvious what a successful operation means....the surgeons are happy with what they have done.Quote:

Yes, I'm sure it's nothing to do with letting a major injury settle and to not rush back to end his career.Quote:

just because you're not au fait with something, doesn't make it dumb. It's ok to be lacking in knowledge, its not a crimeQuote:

Anyway, not to worry. I'm bored of you already.
I don't know why you deleted the last sentence of The Bloop's post, as it seemed to me he's making the same point as you.Quote:

Sort of, but as far as I'm concerned surgery can't really be considered a success if you don't recover from it.Quote:

:hehe: :thumbup:

Clutching his right knee and stayed down for along time but thankfully just an impact injury and ended up with just swelling .
For those who have never had a major injury before such as any ACL or ligament damage it's not just recovery but a massive mental stigma after the event . Years ago sports people would have to give up sport with this type of injury
one or two is an expression, not a specific number.Quote:

Before checking in here, I was reading the BBC news pages. Deep inside Russia talking to "ordinary people" - a quote:
"People are people wherever you go, I have no idea where all this hatred comes from".
Perhaps we can replace the wiggly worm with a peace flower - love and goodwill to all (Well, nearly all).
