Just an excuse to have another go at Warne. It's pathetic. Let's start having a go something else and try and hound someone out of their job at the club? Let's see. Who can we point the finger at? That commentator on i-follow needs binning. What a complete w@nker he is. Surely a school kid has more football intellect than that loser.
What about the kit washer? The white on the shirts look grey after 2 games. Needs sacking.
Physios? Should be shot. No questions asked.
4,483 injuries occurred during 566,000 hours of exposure, giving an injury
incidence of 8.0 injuries/1,000 hours. The injury incidence during matches was higher
than in training (27.5 v 4.1, p<0.0001). A player sustained on average 2.0 injuries per
season and a team with typically 25 players can thus expect about 50 injuries each
season. The single most common injury subtype was thigh strain, representing 17% of
all injuries. Re-injuries constituted 12% of all injuries and they caused longer
absences than non re-injuries (24 v 18 days, p<0.0001). The incidence of match
injuries showed an increasing injury tendency over time in both the first and second
halves (p<0.0001). Traumatic injuries and hamstring strains were more frequent
during the competitive season, while overuse injuries were common during the preseason. Training and match injury incidences were stable over the period with no
significant differences between seasons.
