DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 2 January 2014 Share Posted 2 January 2014 I have to say I find it all mystifying. What is the point of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molson Canadian Posted 2 January 2014 Author Share Posted 2 January 2014 Forget about Knockys knee slide, his general interaction with the fans at millwall was brilliant. Forever waving throughout the warm up, then general going mad when we scored, could tell every goal meant something to him. People love Moore because apart from being bloody brilliant (my motm on Wednesday) he always gives 100% and supports the club. Apart from not being from Leicester/supporting the club I think Knocky shows just as much passion as moore which is terrific. Love him Knocky is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Eaton Fox Posted 2 January 2014 Share Posted 2 January 2014 A local team played on a pitch laid on old wasteland. A player made a slide tackle and glass had come through the surface of the pitch. The pitch is now shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pitch is now shut. Compelling evidence my friend. How can we be sure that The Birch hasn't buried a bottle of scotch on the 18 yard box?

TheUltimateWinner Posted 2 January 2014 Share Posted 2 January 2014 it's not knockaert we should be worried about getting injured during his celebrations . Cheeky french devil injures the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Posted 2 January 2014 Share Posted 2 January 2014 Maybe the player should just stand still after scoring, that way there is very low risk of injury... I can see what the OP meant. If Knockaert did a knee slide and then did his ACL there would be an outcry that he's an idiot for doing that. I've thought this too. The only thing that I can think of is that could it be low impact compared to a boot to the knee or twisting it and therefore not much chance of an injury? I knew I should have taken sports science.

I don't think there would though. Of he was flipping LuaLua style then yes, but if he fucked his knee doing a knee slide I personally would put it down as a freak accident and say "unlucky lad" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonfox1884 Posted 3 January 2014 Share Posted 3 January 2014 Mate, i take your point, it could happen, but is it really ever likely to?? Knocky must weigh relativly little compared to other members of the squad, so putting his bodyweight on his knees isn't really THAT dangerous is it?? Like i said, i take your point, this isn't a dig at you, i just think there are more important things to worry about, ie: getting promoted.

Dickov22 Posted 3 January 2014 Share Posted 3 January 2014 Don't know what's worse here from the OP. The very fact he's written this thread, or the fact he's put an apostrophe in 'Knees'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad the Fox Posted 3 January 2014 Share Posted 3 January 2014 Professional footballers get it easy. I remember my days of playing, knee sliding involved doing a slalom around broken bottles, dog turds, near buried shopping trolleys and the remains of a previous evenings bonfire.

fazzyfox Posted 3 January 2014 Share Posted 3 January 2014 To the tune of " don't cry for me Argentina":- Don't slide on knees Anthony Knock-aert, You'll be hurt, you'll f*** up you ligaments, You'll have torn tendons, so pay attention, It's not worth it, we need you fit I expect to hear this vs Derby, get practicing.

MGLCFC Posted 3 January 2014 Share Posted 3 January 2014 Whilst it doesn't bother me what goal celebrations any of the team do (apart from taking their shirt off which means a booking and could cause a suspension later in the season), I can see Nige being absolutely furious should any of the players pick up a similar injury to Simon Jones the ex England cricketer whose career virtually ended with his sliding for the ball. OK it's a freak accident, but avoidable if a goal celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
