Cam Pring

[MC RISK77]

Has anyone heard any news on Cam as of yet- rumours by where I sit are that it is a suspected fracture?

[Henry]

It was bizarre for our head physio run over to Twine who it was clear had chipped a nail at best, where as the other guy and the St John’s crew looked around looking confused.

[Bs4Red]

Fracture is my understanding, he’s currently at hospital having scans but doesn’t sound good.

What was quite bizarre was that Twine had stayed down for ages. Several City players had the opportunity to put the ball out for treatment but none of them took it, and as the phase of play continued that’s when Cam got injured.

Why none of our players put the ball out considering the length of time ST was down is a puzzle….

Perhaps they are already fed up with his play acting. He laid down pretending to be injured rather than help his teammates out.

The physio was given permission to attend to Twine (by the fourth official, presumably via the referee on the comms system). 

The referee was attending to Pring before inviting treatment to be provided to him

It didn't look good,

I

was of the belief that if you had 2 players down that your opponents physio stepped in and did the gentlemanly thing.  No sign of Cardiff physio asking if we wanted his/he's assistance. 

 

And don't start me on St John's ambulance

Yeah I think rivalries aside, clubs also help where they can. Could be something serious, more a human thing than a rivalry. Physio probably doesn’t even support us I doubt!

A physio is a medical professional, not really a football person.

They'd help someone who'd attacked their mother if they were injured - it's their job & in their nature to do so.

Or constantly having to kick the ball out for a throw in, every time Twine goes down on the floor. Don’t they know they’ve got Max to do that for them?!

THIS!!! 
 

We were shouting “get it out”. 
The first time we won possession back was with Knight. He had about 10 yards of space to turn and kick it out but he turned backwards (as usual) and passed it to an under pressure Tanner. Tanner then attempted to pass it up the line and only succeeded in passing it straight to them! 
Utterly ridiculous. 

Sorry, I know this might be a bit knee-jerk, but Pring would not be injured if Knight kicks it out, and then if Tanner kicks it out. 

They are partially at fault here. Sorry not sorry!!

In his interview, McNally said he saw Pring's leg and it didn't look good, so I'd assume it's a fracture or dislocation.

I'd be absolutely raging if I was poor Cam, that ball should have been put out for Twine being down. Absolutely shocking lack of initiative from Knight and others who had the chance to do so.

[RumneyRed]

Looked an innocuous footballing accident but Olly Tanner went up in my estimation when he took the trouble to go over to Cam and shake his hand when he was stretchered off. He looked genuinely concerned for Cam.

Shame he had to score that belter later tho!

Best wishes to Cam and hope he is back as soon as possible  

[Back of the Dolman]

Got to say I thought the behaviour of the Cardiff fans was pretty disgraceful.

It was obviously a serious injury and I can’t say I’ve ever witnessed fans behaving like that before in similar circumstances.

[MarcusX]

FBC podcast said “gash on the ankle” where they got that from then? Not sure you strap and stretcher someone for just a gash

[Dastardly and Muttley]

Get well soon, Cam. Let’s hope it’s not as bad as it appeared to be.

Unless they had a mobile X-ray machine they could not have a clue what they were dealing with except a gash and a lot of blood 

Cam looked as if he was struggling as they carried him off.

Had that. At the peak of the miners strike (South Staffs were strike-breakers) played for a Tamworth team away ‘up north’ and within 30 seconds of kick off had a 4 inch rip down the shin by an over-the-top-tackle. Saw blood oozing out of the squares in the nylon sock. Pulled it down and skin literally had folded back either side of the cut exposing the bone right down the shin.

Remember Physio literally pushing handfuls of Savalon from a pot into the wound. Went to A&E and can remember the nurse saying sarcastically ‘another brave footballer have we?’. Changed her tune when she saw the hole in my leg!

Took a while to heal … ended my season… so would have thought a minimum 6-8 weeks nowadays dependent on location/depth/size of cut and, no doubt, medical advancements since my injury. Key is not to get it infected, or it can become very serious … so a ‘thank you’ to my physio as I thought at the time ‘what the **** are you doing man?’. Good luck Cam and get back quick, we need you. 

…. and like with Cam to add insult to injury … the bloke didn’t even get booked.The ref said I should have been wearing shinpads as I was being carried off (this, in the days before pads were mandatory).

Had similar, but only a few of inches.  Yate player went over the top of the ball, forced my shin pad to the side and left a hole in my shin.  My teammate (son of a physio) puked when he saw the inside of my shin - not pretty (never gonna be a physio after that).

Back in the early 90's at my school Downend, they banned plastic studs, as they were getting scuffed walking from the changing rooms across the playground to the fields, and my mate had his knee ripped open down to the bone from a scuffed plastic stud!

I think they were termed as 'nylon' studs in those days.

I played against some filthy players that used to scuff them up on purpose to inflict damage. I've still got a a scar on one shin to prove it from 30 years ago!!

Funny, because in Cubs football they stopped metal studs, which I thought was bonkers for the exact reasons you state.

I remember in the '80s playing rugby where worn metal studs with razor sharp mushroom ends. Later on they introduced safety studs.

Yeah infections are key. I had my knee open to the bone thanks to a stud. Thought it had healed and played a couple of months later and just landed on the same knee and split to the bone again. Only the top surface had healed. So this time the hospital ensured all the crap was cleaned out before stitching it up

I split a nail once playing in goal.  Took a few weeks for it to grow back.

We only had one miner in the team, a very handy left winger who supplied the most delicious of crosses.

He was not joking though when he said nobody let on to the opposition that I’m a miner if we ever crossed the town boundary heading north. Interestingly, we stayed up in Rotherham once for a couple of matches and we didn't see him for 3 days and were getting really worried about his welfare - only to find he’d been shagging a woman he met 5 minutes after we arrived at the hotel for the entire time. 

Brilliant team and great lads, made up of Villa, Blues, Warsaw and Wolves supporters, plus an Argyle supporter from Plymouth who I acted as interpreter having become fluent in Brummie, arriving 5 years before him. While managing the accent eventually, the odd daft words like ‘outdoor’ could still catch me out mind. The ribbing us West Country lads used to get for the pronunciation of some words, was beyond brutal.

Because Twine wasn't badly injured.  He got himself hurt by going half hearted into the challenge.  Bloody football 101 that is - go in half arsed and you are more likely to get hurt. Trouble with Whiny Twiney though is that he goes down under the slightest gust of wind, so I rather suspect he may be in a boy who cried wolf situation where our boys thought he'd be back up as soon as he realised he hadn't been given a free kick.
