Also says in the article about VA being out with a broken toe due to a "weightlifting accident" anyone else think its a bit silly weight training in flipflops?

Not confirmed that this is how its happened but the amount of times ive seen the guys in Total Fitness in flip flops it was bound to happen.

If a weight falls on you it doesn't really matter what you've got on your feet, unless it's steely enders.

Doesnt it just say a weight dropped his foot. Doesnt mean he was weight lifting?

He is out for 3 months. He could have been out for 6 months. That would have been worse so yes, it could have been worse.

Skysports reports it was a Weight Training accident, i just put two and two together from a vague report and my own experience, though like i say it hasnt been confirmed as such.

I`d prefer to look at the positive, we`ll get a fresh, and raring to go Gareth Carvell back for the most important part of the season. We should make the play offs no problem, its what we do in the play offs that matters and to have a fresh forward back with his pace will be a big plus.

Vinnie out with a broken toe...... see BBC sport.

i love a bit of brea......

actually forget it.

If Carvell has a leg broken badly enough to require 3 months out, why was he messing about being driven to appointments by Richie Mathers?

Why wasn't he off to hospital on gameday for treatment in an ambulance?

i thought that as well.... not very professional... you would think a break would be treated immediately.

It's quite common with serious injuries like this for full diagnosis and then treatment to not take place immediately and sometimes there can be several days delay. Often swelling needs to be allowed to reduce. The club has well qualified and experienced medical staff so I'm sure there is no reason to doubt the steps taken between the injury occuring and him seeing a consultant.

Hilarious.
