Was there a "cause"? Ie: any particular reason it was herniated?
Anyway, I'd play Austin over Kinsky, who I don't trust.
Very random - no particular reason -
was out at a party at the West Indian Centre in Leeds while there at uni - got a stomach ache went home - next thing I knew I woke up on the floor of my bathroom in more pain than I can describe - thank fuck my housemate was home and heard me collapse and called an ambulance
Not good ... and those last 30 minutes would be particularly dispiriting.
Well... that's a horrendous and terrifying story that will haunt me forever...
It's not him, he's very professional. Arguably VdV.
I guess we had to, since Italy announced their squad and he was left out, which would have forced an explanation from their side about why the coach didn’t call him up.
Yeah. As much as we like to dunk on Vic the man has now played through a hernia for weeks and played half a game on a broken ankle.
I think that he's one of the last players to not put up a fight.

Youre welcome!
There are blokes in the armed forces who try to force themselves to finish runs carrying packs while having a broken legs. Others with severe tendinitis who fight through it for weeks or months to pass out. All with ibuprofen. For 18 grand a year.
Always nice to put “bravery” in context when we’re talking 65 grand a week footballers fighting through a bit of pain with elite medical staff and painkillers.
And the award for "most ridiculous hyperbolic whatabouterry" of the year goes to:
Deuterz
If this were a British Army forum you'd have a point. But it's not. It's a Tottenham Hotspur forum - where its perfectly normal to note that a player has been battling a painful condition - that requires surgery - and continued playing through that pain for some time, and to think that's a rather good thing that should be applauded.
But thank you for proving my original point.
Fucking hell...

Can I applaud him when he’s not giving away an average of a goal a game and kicking it out 5 times a match?
Actually fuck you and your whining. There are British Army people on £18 grand with severe tendonitis who finish runs carrying packs while having a broken legs and only get Ibuprofen so keep your sob stories to yourself!

Lol, I am a massive wimp.

Did something being put in to context upset you?
What Vicario has done just really isn’t that brave. Normal people do much braver things all the time. You really don’t need to hero worship millionaire athletes online.
All he’s done is something most of them are doing all the time. A majority of top level athletes will play through injuries if needed. They’re insanely well compensated to do so.
It’s not “bravery” it’s just part of the business.
Ffs I wasn't nominating him for a Victoria Cross
I also said Xavi was brave for playing through the pain when his foot was black and blue. I know these things are common but it's still worthy of note on a football forum.
Also a hernia requiring surgery is a fucking nuts thing to play through as a keeper. Christ...
Why would you reveal the news before the game? Honestly, we are a sh!t show.
Because he's been withdrawn from the Italian national squad so it was going to come out one way or the other?
