Re: Injury Update
What a waste, hindsight is an amazing thing, but could the academy not have played last Friday night? Not that I care what happens the rest of the season.

Re: Injury Update
One for the medical people but Lyttle was walking around on the pitch after last weeks match after having come off with what even to the novice looked like a hamstring... now described as a significant injury... could this have been better protected and could doing so lesson any potential risk of adding to it..

Was puzzled at that, assumed the injury must have been cramp and he came off as a precautionCockatrice wrote:One for the medical people but Lyttle was walking around on the pitch after last weeks match after having come off with what even to the novice looked like a hamstring... now described as a significant injury... could this have been better protected and could doing so lesson any potential risk of adding to it..

Re: Injury Update
Is RICE still the goto protocol? If so, then at least two of those were broken.

He was sitting on the bench with ice on it. If he came off around the 50 minute mark, he'd have had the ice off by 80. Don't think a few minutes walking round the pitch would cause a problem.

He should have been taken home by air ambulance.
Re: Injury Update
I read an article at way back suggesting that strict adherence to rice in the first few hours is most critical. Reducing the blood flow decreases the intra muscular haemorrhage which can reduce the recovery period. It cannot undue the damage. Walking would increase blood flow as the muscle is forced to contract. It's not possible to rule out walking entirely but unnecessary walking might be deemed ill advised. You cannot use ice continuously but can rest and elevate for as long as you want.Snipe Watson wrote:RICE is the protocol alright.Dave wrote:Is RICE still the goto protocol?

I might be wrong and there is probably new evidence since that one article I read once (making me an expert).

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

He left on crutches but that was just papering over the tear.

Never wrestle with a pig. You end up covered in muck and the pig loves it.
Re: Injury Update
Meanwhile Irish Examiner says Charlie not as bad as first thought, popped rib but will be 4 weeks at most out.

Ah Dave, there's the Doctor - the Irish Examiner.
Actually, I would put the onus on the physio to get that Rice to the spot.
