Quite right. Strakosha needs to be hounded too. It's only fair. Balcombe is the only one who gets a free ride.

That’s it then. Balcombe, Pert-Harris, and Stevens back in January and straight into the first team! Problem solved next item on the agenda please.

Agreed! Having seen the goals again I’d argue both goals were avoidable on his part

It’s the first one that’s horrible for me. I saw no reason why he couldn’t hold it. It wasn’t a hard shot, he wasn’t stretching or unsighted, and unfortunately the defenders couldn’t react quickly enough that time. He holds that, we win the game.
As for the second one, what the f@ck is Bryan doing punching the ball. Obviously thought he was getting a freekick for a nudge in the back. Just let it go out man!!
Did he forget where we were playing?
Anyway, back to topic. ?

If it's a ruptured appendix which inevitably leads to peritonitis (not nice as the same thing happened to me and ended up killing Houdini), he'll be off for a good month or more.

Symptoms are a horrendous stomach ache that subsides if the appendix ruptures....so if he was taken ill during the night in Manchester it might be this.

You ended up killing houdini?

He's not good enough for Brentford. That's why we binned him off to Arsenal

I haven’t seen any specific news regarding Flekken’s illness, but I was offered a jab against Shingles last year, so I presume that it’s easily spread, and the timeframe fits. We’re going down like flies at the mom, so let’s hope that those left standing remain fit and healthy.
Regarding Raya, Blackburn Rovers’ fans thought the same, that’s why they binned him off to us!

Shingles isn't an infectious disease as such. You can get chickenpox from someone who has shingles.

Shrewd lot up in Lancashire. They even had the sense to ship Shearer out to Newcastle when they realised he was never going to make the grade. ;)

Right let me sum up what I know so far. Poor old Mark has Covid, Flu, a STD, Shingles, Dropsy, Peritonitis, Appendicitis, and Mental Health issues. This has all enraged TheHairdresser so much that he has irrationally killed Houdini.

He'll be out until January at this rate. Mark that is. TheHairdresser won't be out until January 2053..

I’m actually amazed that anyone watched that game on Saturday thought, wow, Strakosha is much better than Flekken, hope he stays in the team. Every save he made was patted back into the danger area, the defence bailed him out on numerous occasions. He makes me far more nervous than Flekken, and I’ve only seen him play twice.
Click to expand...
I did during the match, looking on TV he certainly was at fault for the 2nd, the first 50/50 give him the benefit of doubt lol
 

Mark Flekken (Closed Thread)

Certainly Dropsy their is no cure for that I don't think. Lol

Who needs Zidane when you have Tim Sherwood?

Appendicitis seems to be the case. Not followed through the links to see how legit this is but he mentions elsewhere he spoke to him today.

Unusual that if he was diagnosed with appendicitis that the medical decision was antibiotics rather than surgery.

By delaying surgery he may get further attacks over the season. Not definite, he may get away with it. Maybe he thought he had to be playing right now.

If treated well with antibiotics he could be back in 2-3 weeks

I think that's more common these days than whipping the knife out

No surgery is good news. And hopefully available for Burnley

If it has burst he'll surely require surgery?

Yes he should have had surgery if that was the case. Seems like it hasn’t so he’s trying the antibiotic option. Reckon couple of weeks to recover and fingers crossed it doesn’t flare up again before the end of the season (relatively low chance)

Don't panic, don't panic we've got an under 18s team

One of my sons had his appendices removed last year and was told not to go running for a month. He regularly runs/races. So to us the 4 weeks make sense

Time to haul this one out again, dust it down and update it.


Mark Flekken goes to Dr Stephen Thompson and tells him that he feels awful, all day, every day, even when he's not training. Thompson gives him a thorough checkup and then sits the goalie down.

Thompson: “I’m afraid you have what we call LYSE.”

Mark: “Lice? You mean like in my hair?”

Thompson: “No, Mark. L-Y-S-E. It’s a shorthand way of saying that you have Leprosy, Yellow Fever, Syphilis and Ebola.”

Mark: “Oh, my God! That’s terrible. Is there anything you can do for me?”

Thompson: “Yes. What we’ll do is put you in an isolation room. Absolutely no visitors. Once you’re in there, you’ll be on a special diet.”

Mark: “Oh, like a no-fat or no-meat diet, or sort of barium meals?”

Thompson: “Um... No. Kippers and Pancakes”

Mark: “What! Kippers and p… how will that help?”

Thompson: “Oh, they won’t do a damn thing for you. They’re the only things we can slide under the door.”

Pat Cash had his appendix out a couple of weeks before Wimbledon one year and still played!

He’s not having a removal operation though, anti biotics often used these days unless you have a rupture.

I had mine out and was out for months. Scar looks like I’ve been badly stabbed and operation was complicated. Not all are the same.

Maybe the punchline should have been:
Mark: "That's surprising".
Doctor: "How come?"
Mark: "Some people on the GPG reckoned that I'd never catch anything, let alone LYSE."

It’s not so clear cut but yes antibiotics can be used to treat appendicitis

If this was end of season it’s likely he would have had an operation I reckon

If I felt a trickle currently, I can tell you what I'd assume, and it's not good news.

And i'm nailed on rose coloured glasses brigade... We've angered the gods somehow.
