Injuries

Is he still in Limerick, Thought he was on about pulling out after the time some african runner got stones thrown at her by the local ruffians when out running the bankā€¦

I couldnā€™t recommend the Ortho guy across from the post office in Ennis enough, I recommended 2 mates, 1 had a bad back and it was affecting his golf (donā€™t ask), sorted him in 2 visits and he had being going to physios for years, another guy does triathlons and was just wanting to have his calf sorted, sorted him immediately and gave him great tips for doing the triathlones. My mother got a new hip put in a couple of years ago and it didnā€™t take right, was going to specialists for ages, went to yerman, he did something, sheā€™s not 100% but is a lot better than she had being in a long time.

The ortho guys are supposed to be very good with any chronic injuries like the groin or the back, although donā€™t expect you physio to recommend onā€¦

Cheers guysā€¦I know physio is the obvious solution but alot of the time they just show you a few stretches, tell you to put ice on it and then get you to come back for a few more visits without really doing anythingā€¦ In other words iā€™m a cheap bastard who will only go as a last resort.

Now thereā€™s a real bogger term. Does he not go outdoors at all?

Below is another bogger term.

I was at the game in Kerry becomes I was at the game below in Kerry.

inside in and below are Munster terms as opposed to bogger ones. An absolute dingo jean-wearing, cornedbeef-munching, palm of hand while reversing bogger from Roscommon, Wexford or Westmeath wouldnā€™t use those terms.

Munster = Bogger.

Much of a muchness really.

Do you have a different name for rustic types from outside the six southern counties?

Leinster dwellers from eastern seaboard regions would be known as sophisticates.

If I didnā€™t know any better Iā€™d call you an Uncle Tom, negroā€¦

Is he a qualified guy or one of these ā€œbone Setterā€ type guys you have in nearly every parish?

Iā€™d be very slow letting anyone near my back (which is actually fairly fucked anyways), Iā€™ve heard too many horror stories of fellas going to guys who ā€œfixā€ backs or ā€œput in slipped disksā€ and they ending up worse than they ever were.

Not much use to you but Iā€™m in love with this physio - www.totalphysio.ie - sheā€™s actually really good and a totally sweet babe too.

Iv heard Wexicans called a lot of things but sophisticated is not one of them. As Iv said before, any county whos main output is strawberries, in this climate, fookin hell.

BTW, you are as much of a fookin muldoon as me bandaid and you know it, not sure where Jugs is from but Im sure hes a window licker too

Iā€™ve said it before and Iā€™ll say it again, Wexfordā€™s hosting of a renowned opera festival confers sophisticated status on us. Cork has an opera house but they fill it for the likes of Daniel Oā€™Donnell shows instead.

Some Welsh lad named Tom Bender broke his neck playing for Accrington Stanley tonight.

Nothing bad in the below images but spoilering them anyway in case people arenā€™t keen on seeing the incident:

Paddy Wallace posted this on twitter - a picture just before his operation:

This is a horrible one. The replay around 50 seconds is incredible.

Swollen ankle. cant stand on the foot at all. Think itā€™s sprained or twisted or something. Cuntish

I have some weird injuries at the moment. For some reason I often sprain my thumbs playing football. At this stage the joint must be wrecked but itā€™s annoying as it takes a week or more to heal.

Also today during the game my knee felt weird. A bit loose if that could possibly be an accurate term. I put new insoles in my boots on top of the old wrecked ones before the game which might not have been a good idea. The last thing I want is a serious injury before my holidays. Maybe a session of spinning would sort it right out.
