campbell Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Do we have dates for when these two are likely to return? I also remember people saying after the WC for Beni but I haven’t even heard anything in the news about him being back running etc. Boyce I have no idea either & I’m guessing with him being a little older it might take the full 9 months & then some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Beni must have a right serious injury. Hoping he comes back strong with no reaction. Last two long term injuries haven’t worked out great for us (soutar/Halkett) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC Mallin_51 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I cannot wait to see beni back, easily one of the most gifted players at the club. That being said if it means waiting a little longer to make sure he’s absolutely 100% ready then I’m all for that, I’d be gutted if he came back and was straight back onto the treatment table. It will probably take him a little while to get back up to speed anyway. I’ve kind of written off beni and Boyce for the remainder of the season tbh, I reckon we’ll see them back to full affect in July Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoGwash Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 If Beni hasn't even started running yet, and there's been nothing to suggest he has, then he must be at least 2 months away.

Because it's a trope or cliche about the beliefs / faith of some black people, particularly in Africa. Quite true and accurate in some cases. If the rumour has been invented on that basis then it's racist. It's prejudicial and/or discriminatory to hold a black person to that suggestion, merely for being black and African, for the purpose of creating misinformation. It's all so very uncomplicated.
