Not sure how reliable my source is but been told he has 2 cracked ribs but club keeping quiet?

Ouch.

I recently fell of my bike and badly bruised mine, six weeks later and they're still not quite right.

Serves you right for taking the stabilisers off before your ready

Most players play on with cracked ribs. Painful but I doubt being tackled by 2 or 3 17 stone blokes who are in peak physical condition is a bed of roses with or without cracked ribs

It's not true at all, he's actually cracked 3 ribs and completely broken one.

but will be back in predictable fashion for the next weeks derby no doubt ?

Why is he missing this week?

I guess sarcasm is beyond you.

I hope he makes a full recovery after the derby, but after watching FC last night Dobbo or no Dobbo we look hungry for you.

Well it is your annual cup final, we expect nothing less.

well you say that edith but then tell us we bring no support to your ground yet you still get your biggest attendance of the season so . it must be your fans that see it as a cup final

Edith aka dum dum, derbies are important to both sets of supporters, and we do owe you one for the magic weekend,
