If he plays Forest are likely going to target him. Which means that we will have to be on Oliver like dogs the moment they start to try to target him.
Context man, there is such a thing as context.
Maybe, when removing a splinter from my kids finger, I shouldn't tell them how brave they've been, I should just regale them with stories about soldiers with broken legs getting paid fuck all?
Millionaire athlete (sorry hope this doesn’t trigger you xx) being paid 65 grand weekly to play through the pain vs an actual child. Hmm.
If you or anyone else wants to applaud that’s fine, my issue with the post with the implication that critics should be rushing in to join in on praising the big brave boy for it.
Like I say, context.
Playing with a hernia can't be easy for a goalie and while he doesn't deserve the VC for it, he could have certainly claimed that he wasn't fit to play and deserves some credit for that.
And I'm not sure why you think the term "millionaire athlete" would trigger me, it's not like you're being ignorantly disparaging about mental health again now, is it?

Lol. So after throwing him under the bus, he needs Kinsky now?
Spursy.
Spursy.
I guess that's why he played him in the first leg, to try and give Vic some rest but it all went very wrong, very quickly.
I'm not too adverse to getting Kinsky back on the horse again as he needs to rebuild after that confidence shattering display but this is probably not the ideal time for it!
You done him like a kipper.
Again.
he didnt throw him under the bus did he, he protected him, anymore gaffes would of been damage beyond repair.
people would be lying if they didnt want him off after the second one, i bet kinsky himself wanted the ground to open up and swallow him. hell be ok, hes a shit shot stopper but when hes not slipping about hes very good with his feet.
When a player is shit all season
When that player does the textbook "playing through pain" near the end of the season
Kinsky redemption arc leggoo
Not exactly bombshell news but having this op in the middle of the season and a relegation battle surely means his transfer early in the summer is certain.
A footballer can carry a "sports hernia" (athletic pubalgia) for several months to over a year, often playing through pain while managing it with physiotherapy, injections, and rest, before ultimately requiring surgery. While it is technically possible to play with the condition, it rarely heals on its own and tends to fluctuate, causing severe discomfort during intense, twisting, or kicking movements.

Here is the breakdown of how long a sports hernia can be managed:
Timeline and Management
- Initial Management (1–3 months): Many athletes try to manage the pain for 6–12 weeks with conservative treatment (physiotherapy, rest, and core exercises).
- Carrying the Injury (3–6+ months): It is common for professional players to carry the injury for a significant portion of a season, or even up to 9–12 months, particularly to avoid missing high-stakes games.
- When Surgery Becomes Necessary: If symptoms persist after 6 to 8 weeks of non-operative treatment, or if the pain prevents playing at a high level, surgery is usually needed.
- Recovery Timeline: After surgery, most athletes can return to full sports activity within 2 to 3 months (or 4–6 weeks for some professional footballers).

Why They Can "Carry" It
- Not a "True" Hernia: A sports hernia is usually a strain or tear of soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments) in the lower abdominal or groin area, not a complete rupture allowing tissue to push through, meaning there is less immediate risk of organ strangulation.
- In-Season Management: Athletes often rely on anti-inflammatory medications and rest during short breaks to "settle" the pain, waiting until the end of the season for definitive surgical repair.

Risks of Carrying the Injury
- Recurrence and Chronic Pain: Continued play can lead to worsening symptoms or a complete, severe, or acute tear, resulting in long-term damage.
- Weakened Tissue: Untreated athletic pubalgia can lead to a true inguinal hernia, which requires immediate surgery.

Dilaudid, you will feel nothing, but coming down from it is a bitch. I was given it after open heart surgery, morphine did nothing for the pain, Dilaudid stopped the pain in seconds
Is Austin not with us anymore (sorry not up to speed on his availability).
That's typical of this Club, if this was known in January.......!!! I feel for Vic, no wonder he's been so down on the supporters.
It is not a normal two games.
Kinsky can barely make a save - he is not even a proper keeper.
We are absolutely fucked - absolutely have to win on Sunday - and then hope we get lucky until Vic is back.
We might be giving our opponents a one or two goal start
