One could certainly imagine him doing this sort of thing on a regular basis. I'm really excited by him. His team are in 6th and he's gone back into the team so quickly after injury, that's hugely encouraging.
Meyler and Clifford - Ireland's midfield partnership of the future? Cork and Dublin unite to keep the Scots and Nordies outta our team!
(Please take this post with a pinch)
Meyler being taken off against Villa at Villa Park. According to Charlie Nicholas on Sky Sports News, it's a problem with his ankle
Just been stretchered off according to Sky Sports. Charlie Nicholas reckons a knee or ankle twist. Fingers crossed & rosaries time.
You should get a life and get out more Tets. I've an excuse!
Nicholas definitely said knee or ankle.
Nicholas veering towards it being the knee now. F**k.
In the words of the lyrical poet John Lennon
If you had the luck of the Irish you'd be sorry and wish you were dead . You should have the luck of the Irish and you'd wish you were English instead
Reid , Dixon , Meyler, Duffy , McCarthy , Cunningham , Reid again , Meyler again , dont even think about Thierry Henry
You forgot to mention Chris McCann and Joey O'BrienQuote:

Terrible. Was his rapid return to blame for this? Did he come back too soon? Gutted for him.
According to the lads on newstalk, the Sunderland Echo are reporting that its a cruciate injury again........not sure how they can make such a quick sharp diagnosis but the signs are not good.
Been nosing around for a bit of info and things like 'strange angle' and 'straight into the ambulance' don't make for good reading. Major disappointment, I was really enjoying his comeback. Can't imagine how the man himself feels about it.
Oh yeah, Joey O'Brien, whatever happened to him.Quote:

He spent months of hard work to get back and his knee just goes pop in an instant. I can imagine the lad is in shock.
Questions need to be asked about Sunderland medical staff...
Joey is still on the books at Bolton, physioroom has him down as "no return date"Quote:

This tragic injury reminds me more of Colin Healy than others mentioned above. Overcame one horrific injury and then just when it looked like he was back to action, he broke his leg again, at what club - Sunderland.
This would be disasterous news on what has otherwise been an excellent night for Irish players in the EPL. Hopefully its not as bad as thought but you'd have to be fearing the worst unfortunately.
What an attitude this lad has, he's just posted this on twitter
Thanks to everyone for all the nice messages,I'll be back don't you worry!!
Some outlook to have, hope this comeback goes better this time. So much potential and seems to have the desire too
I don't think so. He came through the first few games handy enough. He's always going to have a vulnerability in his knee and unfortunately he got caught out this time.Quote:

poor guy - genuinely gutted for the lad. I wish him a speedy recovery.
If this is a recurrence of his cruciate injury, then it is absolutely awful news for young David. I would like to echo the sentiments already expressed, and wish him a complete recovery. Although, if I may diverge somewhat from the normal expression of well-wishing, I hope his recovery isn't a speedy one. I can't help but think that his recent return to first team football, was premature to say the least.
If and (hopefully not) it is the cruciate again, he should not come back before the start of next season.
Poor lad. I thought he was gonna be our saviour in MF. He's still young and he'll bounce back. I hope Sunderland send him to the best specialist money can buy

Bruce questions himself over Meyler injury.
And so he should, ligaments are never fully healed.
I did mine in when I was 12 and while I could skip, run and jump after 6 months, two years later I still felt a twinge every now and then if I did too much training or played too many matches. Even now, 16 years later, I can have trouble if I play too many matches.
There's hope for Meyler though, remember Van Nistelrooy at PSV? He did his knee in and recovered and Man Utd were on the brink of signing him. Then he did his knee in again and Man Utd called off the transfer. A year later they signed him. The rest is history.
Hopefully next time around he'll take it easy.
Van Nistelrooy picked up a knee injury in a game and shortly after that he did in his cruciate while training.
Afaia, he only cruciated himself once.
Must be cursing his luck but appears to have a great attitude.
Was this latest set back an impact injury due to a challenge or was it in the course of running - anyone know???
All i could think reading this was Aw ffs.what is it with we Irish and our physiological makeup
No contact with another player, his injury came after innocuous impact, something akin to stubbing his foot on the hard turf.Quote:

If there's any solace to be taken in the injury, it at least means he should have all of pre-season to ease himself back into action instead of the gruelling winter schedule. Can't imagine the hard ground helped him at all either.
Absolutely disgusted with the news, and Bruce should look at himself. As Charlie D says above, at least it gives David an extended period to get himself in as good a position as possible before next season.
Hopefully the next comeback works out better.
good luck to david and a best wishes for a healthy recovery.

SSN now reporting that the injury may not be as bad as first fear. Thank heavens.
