We seem to have been on 202 for quite a while, is this accurate Exeter?

He's currently incognito recruiting at hillsborough.

I understand he is thinking of changing the sites name to 'wings of an owl'.

Sorry lads. Back burner for a bit, got a potentially life changing career change coming up. Once things settle and certainly before the season starts I'll be giving it large to get the numbers up

welcome Tiger, even MM goes very quiet mid season, except for the bigots.

Yes sickly It will be quiet close season I realise that.

Bigots and a few narrow minded people on MM Double Lol.

Still a lot of quality postees left on MM though.

Several on here post on both sites and so will I.

Going away for a long weekend will be back Monday tell Heman to sort out a "sparky" thread,his words not mine.

Always had quality on MM but sadly got less and less and the idiots became too numerous.

Well just hours after posting about interview on monday, i pulled a pearler at 5 a side. My dodgy braced ankle locked on a sprint, twisted my knee which flipped me in the air, landed and broke my collarbone! Might just be time to hang up the boots

Ouch!

Most commonly broke bone.

Don't give up! You don't play football with a collarbone.

You'll make a full recovery and be back playing in 8 weeks.

Its the knee im most bothered apart. Horrible to limp on with pain up the top end of the fibia and the joint looks wonky

I apologise for seeming pedantic but in the interest of accuracy the lower leg bones are tibia and fibula?..There is no fibia!

A wonky looking knee joint by the way is not a good sign...it suggests ligament damage...Good luck, it sounds like you are having a rough time!

Yeah sorry combo of phone, codeine and tired cant be arsedness from broken sleep. Im afraid of that Kempo since its same leg that I ripped my ankle up on, in fact it was said ankle which 'locked' causing twist & fall. If its ligaments it will be time to give up I feel

 Thats impressive.

I thought I did well to play 5 aside well into my forties.

Unfortunately playing sports for many years tends to catch up with you...now well and truly fuc ked in a non biblical sense with a permanent groin problem[3 operations and countless pain clinic procedures later]

Would I do it all over again?...just wish I had the chance!

yes impressive indeed.

...same here, I packed in for good 4 years ago age 45 after many a bad injury and recovery. over the course of time I snapped both ankle ligaments and broke a leg, several hamstrings and a collarbone, but was young enough to recovery over many years.

I then was having somewhat of a renaissance in my late 30s and early 40s before I snapped my anterior cruciate. Try as I might and I employed a personal trainer for 1 year at a huge cost as well as using all the skills I knew from my own profession, it was all to no avail. Very depressing indeed to have to stop but the pain from this and now akylosing spondylitis, low testosterone was too much for an aging body and mind.

In truth, from age 38 onwards it was a daily battle and I should have hung up the boots much earlier and perhaps I wouldnt be in as much daily pain as I am today.

The one very positive thing when the bodys gives up on you is how much time you have to use your inner mind and body to refresh and heal all the torments of the years spent as a slave to the hormones of a young but rudderless body/mind.

Must admit every game is one more that I ever expected to play. There is a strong Masters league here with 5 divisions of ten teams. Our youngest player is 36 and the oldest is 64!!!. He used to play for Worksop Town and is still good value. We are currently in Div 2 but struggling a bit this year. Great fun though and just waiting for that final injury. :)

I obviously should reserve judgement until I heal. As you know it looks bleak when at this point. When you add in the wife cant drive anymore, has 2 young kids and a useless teenager to deal with it all seems very selfish and stupid for the sake of 2hrs exercise kicking a bag of wind about 3 times a week. If I've done knee ligaments on the same leg from a poorly fixed ankle episode I think it will be too much risk. This happened all cos my crap ankle locked. Good to see conflicts from you guys tho, ie 1 saying if I could play again i would versus long term issues suffered long after playing days are over. Its a conundrum!

must admit once the knees go you are looking at the end :( however maybe see a physio take a couple of years out and see how you go.
