Ben Mee revisited...

[Supersub6]

If he'd had a couple of painkilling injections and played for the team instead of making sure he was not injured to go off on his merry way to new and lucrative pastures, I'd take in his heartfelt comments.

BT, it's 2022 not 1959! Players don't have steroid injections to keep them playing these days. Why? Because the long term damage that they do is very difficult to contend with.
John Angus used to tell me that, in his day, it was very common for players, including himself, to have these injections and it cost him three new knees and a new hip.
Ben started 337 matches after he had signed for us and that is in 10 seasons, he did not need to play with injuries as far as I am concerned, he earned his corn and owes us nothing.

Sometimes I just have a strong cup of coffee, give my head a wobble and just remind myself this is a forum to vent opinions. It appeared to me and a lot of others on social media that Mee had himself one of those "convenient" end of season injuries and was not going to play no matter what Jackson said.

Subject closed for me now, I'm bored.
