soonbe110 Posted July 18 7 minutes ago, Pasquale for King said: It was probably hope more than anything. He’s still got a few weeks to be ready for the Aberdeen game though so fingers crossed. Just over two weeks to go, light training, no games yet, unlikely to be anywhere close to match fit until end August. Pre-season missed so not a great outlook for coming season. Players that miss pre-season rarely do well. Conditioning for the season is key and that happens during pre-season. Hope I’m being overly pessimistic.

Hope I’m being overly pessimistic. Yeah it would seem that way, unless we have someone putting him through a proper pre season at some point over the next few weeks if he’s up to it. We have a difficult start to the league season and will need him as soon as possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it can't be bad luck if that's what you've decided. Do you think the Hearts' medical staff and fitness coaches have not considered a wide range of possibilities or do you think your amateur, second-hand knowledge is more accurate? Even outside of football, doctors, consultants etc get many diagnoses wrong and are sometimes baffled by a problem. It happens - and trying to apportion blame is cheap.

I’ve said all of that but for some reason you still want to argue about it. If they have considered every reason then it would be to apportion blame and see if they can do things better or do things differently, is that not what we all want?

He is certainly a quality player on his day. However, I am starting to get the sinking feeling that we have had the best of him and he wont feature much due to injury and will just be another player on the wage bill until the clock runs down on his contract. ****, I hope i am wrong as I like him a lot.

They're still trying to find the reason - that is the problem. Once you find the reason you can then begin to consider whether blame could be attached to anybody for not finding it sooner and doing something about it. As someone else said Colin Cameron may be a case in point: he spent ages physically injured and it turned out he was cured by wearing a special gumshield! Why you keep wanting to apportion blame I'll never know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it’s not the same injury or was cured with the hernia operation why did Levein mention it being a difficult area that’s hard to diagnose? I’m sure they’ve progressed from nearly twenty years ago when Cameron was injured, Levein said they had a pretty good idea what Harings injury is at last. The only thing I’m desperate for is the people we pay good money for to do their job properly and help cure a million pound asset his manager and the team need to be back ASAP.

Do you actually believe that they have been wilfully negligent when he is such a key player? I don't. Surely even you have to admit that when you play for months with a double hernia issue and resort to taking painkilling injections to allow you to play then there is a strong possibilty that you may well cause damage elsewhere? Haring did all this as reported in the media and this is why CL admitted that it may be partly his fault for encouraging him to play in the cup final intsead of resting as he was apparently told to do. It is of course entirely possible that his current problem has nothing to do with the fact he played with an ongoing hernia problem however I would think this is unlikely. It was a gamble that CL and Haring took and it would appear not to have paid off in this instance. Look at Tierney at Celtic he had a double hernia op before Haring and he is now having a groin issue also. I seem to recall he played whilst carrying his injury also.

There is no course on sports science and sports injury where there might be a lecturer that could be drafted in to diagnose injuries to players. There are sports scientists in some parts of the Oriam, and there is facilities for them and physios etc to use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
