The weather forecast is rain and the Police will allow people to take in umbrellas.

 

Nae again

Is this ana arguement for artificial pitches to be binned? Looks like we should have replaced one or two others to maintain our league momentum. 

Fyvie injury looked very serious, chased after the boy like a fanny and was no surprise he got injured. Diamond out for a couple of games I would say.

Comfortable win although Alloa probably deserved a goal. Fyvie was superb before he went off and really hope it isn't too serious. Bebo scored a stunner but was fucking hopeless out wide, although did do a bit better once played through the middle. Also a little disappointed with the two new lads up front. However three goal win at a side who have been doing well this season and through to the next round. Three games. Three wins. Eight goals for. None against. COYR

Thanks for the insight.

 

Haha, mizer the physio from afar.

Diamond looked a wee bit fucked. Fyvie looked more than a wee bit.

Fyvie looked more than a wee bit.

 

Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee blamed Alloa's artificial surface for an injury scare affecting his promising midfielder Fraser Fyvie.

 

Fyvie twisted a knee on the plastic pitch at Recreation Park a minute before half-time in Aberdeen's 3-0 Co-operative Cup victory on Tuesday.

 

McGhee was optimistic there will be no serious damage to his player, but questioned whether turf without the give of grass should be used for more than training games.

 

He said: "Fraser got a sore one. It might not be as bad as it looked, but I definitely think it's the pitch.

 

"A lot of these pitches have been built around the country for teams to train on, but I think at this level the competitiveness and the pace that we're trying to play at it does make it a little bit more difficult.

 

"People's feet are sticking and players are getting injuries. We'll see how Fraser is in the morning, he'll have a scan, but he seemed to be badly hurt with the noise he made. Fingers crossed it's not ligament damage.

 

 

Fingers crossed it's not ligament damage.

 

I agree.

Maguire played through the middle... scored!  . (Peterheid_Loon are you reading this?! )

 

I couldn't make it last night, however GS I agreed with you on Saturday game review that Maguire needed moved to play through the middle, ... where he plays best!

 

Hopefully Fyvie's injury isn't as serious as many have speculated elsewhere.

 

I agree.

 

Hope he and Diamond are back as soon as possible.

Whats the deal with Highlights, will there be any?? Good win, hopefully the two players won't be out for too long.

Was going to ask the same thing.

 

Seems that Fyvie might have gotten away with it.

As in not seriuosly injured ?

Where you hearing gthat Tyrant

I've not heard any update yet about Fyvie's injury, and I'm hoping it's not as serious as it looked.

 

But can anyone else remember a game last season when he left the pitch on a stretcher with a serious looking injury which ended up not being as bad as first thought? I cant remember who that was against. 

Hibs.

Ta.

 

Now I'm not suggesting he's a big girl's blouse, but if this injury is anything like that one, he's a big girl's blouse.

 

Man up.

 

And get well soon.

Alloa manager Allan Maitland has defended the Recreation Park pitch after his Aberdeen counterpart Mark McGhee slated the plastic surface.

 

McGhee blamed the pitch for an injury sustained by Fraser Fyvie, who twisted his knee during Aberdeen's 3-0 Co-operative Insurance Cup win on Tuesday.

 

McGhee claimed the pitch was unsuitable and should be limited to training use.

 

"If his injury is down to the park then that's very unusual, that's all I would say," said Maitland.

 

Maitland had sympathy for Fyvie's plight and the 18-year-old midfielder will have a scan on Wednesday to determine the extent of any damage, but feels McGhee overstated the case against the turf and that the problem was a footwear issue.

 

"I don't know how serious the injury is, hopefully not as serious as first thought," Maitland said.

 

"I understand what Mark is saying, and didn't really see what happened to Fraser Fyvie, but when he came off I saw he was wearing blades and I think blades are foolish on this surface.

 

"I think anyone would tell you that."

It is a quite shocking surface, irrespective of Maitland defending it.

How can people say it's close (enough) to a grass surface if you need to wear different footwear to play on the fucking thing?? That's just bullshit.

 

Saying also, Pawlett got injured in the warm up - again for no other reason than the surface!

 

I don't imagine it's anything so serious but for the sake of argument, if a young prospect gets a career ending/destroying injury from a tackle, the club can sue the player (or player's club maybe). But if the injury comes from the turf then who's culpable? would they call it self-inflicted? It's diabolical and if anyone is seriously injured by a surface, the people who approve its use (SFA, UEFA) should be paying out a hefty compensation.

Seems that he had a scan this morning but no news on either player.

 

I have a bad feeling about this...

Scan tomorrow according to Northsound.

Seems strange to delay it for a day does it not?

As far as I remember they have to wait for any swelling to reduce before performing an MRI??

 

That could be shite though.

Agreed.  The boys will have to play we sambas instead of studs!!
