Pieman not coming?

Pieman not coming?

Ahmad El**ch left the field with what was suspected to be a season-ending knee injury.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament. I hope he cried like a little bitch.

Exactly.

Haha i Did all four ligaments in my knee at one time


well actually the exterior 2

then tried to stand and ripped the interior ones and the miniscus

Haha oh how i laughed at the fireservice boys i was playing against

I heard that Brumby's are running their famous 2 for 1 offer so he's staying back for that... just quietly.

tis a shame that he may well have ended his career with this injury. I was suprised he came off, didn't seem to be anything serious that occured at all.

I couldn't agree more, it is a terrible injury.

I felt like that when Lia came off, look what happened there.

Even after all he didn't do for us last season - its a shame he suffered a season ending injury like this....I have done my ACL before and its not a very nice one.

Hope he recovers and is able to play again next season, wish him all the best for a full recovery (and a pie or two)....

Poor bugger, never like to see any player injured for long periods.

Surely  the "Got Pie" signs could also apply to Mark Bosnich...or perhaps "Got Crack"?  

Bosnich looks gay when he celebrated at the end of the match

Someone noticed my edit!

sucks I done that to my knee last year with indoor soccer never looks as bad as it is. got 2 screws in my knee now and back to playing outdoor again. YAY. been good this season apart from all those miss games.

hope he gets well so we can use the Got Pie next season.

Poor bastard. I think that might be him gone for good. He seems to be in bit of a vicious cycle: Get injured -> Lose fitness -> gain weight ->look for new team etc. Is he on a 1 or 2 year contract?

Do you seriously think Ahmad reads this....?

sounds pretty serious. hope he is not too badly injured for when we play them again though

El**ch having to go for knee reconstruction

Mariner rumoured to be asking Sheffield United to get former Newcastle and N Ireland winger Keith Gillespie on a loan

New's blocking of El**ch means the link doesn't work - here's the article

Central Coast Mariners midfielder Ahmad El**ch will miss at least six months of football after scans confirmed a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.

El**ch was forced off the field after only 12 minutes during the Mariners 4-2 defeat of Queensland Roar last Sunday. He will undergo knee reconstuctive surgery next week and return to light training almost immediately on an accelerated rehabilitation program.

El**ch should make a return to the field by early to mid-2009, possibly in time for the Mariners� AFC Champions League group stage matches.

�Personally, its obviously a devastating blow for me, especially considering how fit I was feeling and how much progress I had made throughout the pre-season and the early part of the Hyundai A-League season,� said El**ch.

�However, its good that I know exactly what Im dealing with as Ive been through this exact procedure before and Ive come back from it  I know that Ill come back again.

Six months, well I wonder if he will ever be able to be at his best touch ever again with such injuries.
