Ye just seen it now that's awful news just as he was hitting the scoring form. Big blow and big pressure on the other lads now
Ah ******
****e. He was playing really well as the target man. He broke his foot twice before didn't he? He's not having a lot of luck with injury. Any word on when or if Austin Skelly will be back?
thats a huge blow for gary.. Just when it was coming good for him this happens.. aussie I believe is out for the rest of the season!Quote:

afaik aussie is out for the season too....bermo really has to step up to the plate as a target man now.
He had awful injury problems when he was us, broke a few bones on separate occasions.
As a former team mate I would just like to correct Roo69 re Gary's injuries. He only ever broke one bone before this which was in January 2011 whilst playing for the Irish Colleges. It was the infamous 5th metatarsal. Due to a mis-diagnosis regarding the extent of the injury which led to Bray bringing him back too soon (not the fault of Bray I might add), he re-broke the same bone in his first match back with far worse consequences. This led to surgery and a pin having to be inserted with the result that he was out for a further 6 months. He actually scored on his first start back against Drogheda if you remember but the season was as good as over by then.
He's still very young really it's unfortunate for him to miss large chunks of football. Hopefully he's back for a Town Premier Division campaign next year!
And now Daniel Purdy has broken his ankle!!!
Seriously? ****ing hell. We're screwed.
Please let this be a f**kin joke, christ aboveQuote:
