Basically as I understand it, these abnormal bone growths are in a place that they shouldn't be, i.e. the muscles. The more mechanical movement you do, the move damage that the bone growth does to the muscle through friction. Once it gets so bad to cause enough pain and discomfort to prevent you from exercising, you have to simply let it heal and the process starts again. Of course, weakening your thigh muscles is not a good thing for the knees generally as well, i.e. ACL injuries.
Take this with a pinch of salt. It is simply my layman's understanding.
I honestly know nothing about footballer's having this kind of surgery. The size of the object to be removed, will it grow back, impact on the surrounding muscles. All I know is that Moyes was talking it up as Gibson kept breaking down and would require recoveries of various lengths of time from 2-12 weeks or so.
Also possibly tangentially related (abnormal growths) is the fact that Gibson was injured against Scotland when a cyst at the back of the knee burst. I believe he then suffered setbacks following this which kept him out for the following 3 months until he returned in February.

Nice assist by McCarthy for Lennon to put Everton one up at Swansea. Coleman had a really good shot earlier tipped around the post. Gibson and McGeady not in squad.
Gibson's out for the season, McGeady out of favour.
McGeady is out with a back injury.
Oh right, had it been stated that McGeady is out of favour or do we just know for certain that he's fit?
Edit- only saw Irwin's comment after asking.
He's been left out when fit, fair enough if he's injured this time though.
So you mean he was fit for the Southampton game last week? Or before international break?
Coleman handballs in the box and Shelvey scores the penalty.

How's MxGeady getting on cd and geysir? how would you sum up his season overall?
didn't I tell ye about Coleman and the penalty
Bit of a mad one, Coleman felt he was pushed first before scooping the ball away with his hand. The more I look at it the more I think the ref got it right. Silly by Coleman but we were warned he was always liable to do something like that.
He was in the travelling squad for Kiev and QPR but wasn't selected.
ye were even if it was like that ; )
Just saw the penalty now. Classic "I've been pushed so I'm going to grab the ball" but silly in the circumstances. Still, I think it was a clear push in the back.
Still think it's a bit presumptuous to assume it wasn't his fitness levels that kept him out. I remember Martinez saying that away leg in Kiev was a realistic target for him, therefore touch and go. The QPR game was only a couple of days later. He looked well short of fitness against Poland a week after that I thought.

We're all allowed to Paul O'Shea every once in a while.
Out of favour back on the bench today as Coleman and McCarthy start at home to Burnley. Stephen Ward is back on the bench for Burnley.
mccarthy could have scored put it wide, coleman got a man sent off foro fouling him.
Addition by subtraction, sort of.

Yea Coleman was too quick for him, McCarthy 'won' a yellow card too IIRC, think it might have been against the same guy?
