I do remember a few posts years ago saying how disgraceful it was our club doctor had a stick and surely she couldnt be very good at her job because she was disabled.

FFS - my issue is we have coco the clown running our players and he isnt very good (so far lol)

Definately well down the list of things that are wrong at the club. But the OP is not alone in thinking that our medical staff appear to have difficulty dealing effectively with the knocks and strains that are part and parcel of life as a professional footballer.

Remember Sandaza's glass legs? We couldn't get him on the park, yet both St Johnstone and the now dead Rangers managed to get him playing week in week out.

Some mitigation can be found in the fact that we have been signing quite a few players with a history of frequent injury behind them. But, I have always wondered WTF goes on at United in the physio room?

Players get an injury, disappear in there. The next time we see them they are playing for another team. Pretty bizarre.

He didn't play week in, week out at either club. And just because a player is injured at one club and not at another doesn't mean it is the physio's fault. This another example of football fans using anecdotal evidence to form a general point. And it happens at every other club too.

If we are now measuring off I'll throw on the table with a big ruler, that I know the head physio and medical director at at an international sports team and two professional club teams.

Is there a point in there anywhere? I mentioned my acquaintance as he highlighted that even those at the top end of football don't always understand what a physio does. Not entirely sure what point you're trying to make.

I was highlighting without posting my CV that I know exactly how a physio operates at a sports team. You suggested I didn't.

Not taking sides here ok.
But, did Danny Swanson not also criticise the medical team after he left?
Or did I imagine that?

Coll Donaldson criticised the fans. Folk will accept what they want to believe though.
