Rocky Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Pretty sure I had what the players are getting, big time swollen glands (makes you hamster like), and general feeling of being very ill. I was also tested for Glandular Fever and mumps but it was neither, just a virus. I was only laid off work for about a week, lots of water flushed it out!! and was 100% exercising in the gym within 2-3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenun Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 More badly news from AG. Perhaps they'll replace the corner flags at Saturday's game with empty buckets? http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,1...1799886,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 If the bug has been that rife, why have they not shut the club, or kept anyone with symtoms away from the club, have they no DR anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK47 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 What is this mystery illness? Swine Flu? Don't know but if the virus is lurking around Ashton Gate, there could be 15,000 more cases by Sunday, never mind could do with a week off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Exclusive: More injury and illness at Ashton Gate. View the full article No mention of whether it's safe to attend AG on Saturday or not. Eventually this mystery virus has to escape from Ashton Gate and Saturday may be it's first opportunity. Come Monday morning the streets of Bristol may be spookily empty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 What is this mystery illness? Swine Flu? Doubt it, this sounds alot worse and more debilitating than swine flu, which after all is a fairly minor illness in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Better get Trundle and Styver back! Many a true word said in jest and all that... I don't think there's a recall option on either, but there is on the likes of Wilson, Plummer, Jackson & Artus. I can't understand why, if we're suffering from this bug, we haven't activated it. When you look at the team against Swansea, we had the following: Ill: Carey Maynard Haynes Gerken Unfit, but selected: Sno Nyatanga Clarkson Henderson Wilson Skuse(?) Picked up knocks in match: Fontaine - forced off Elliott - forced off Basso (elbow) - managed to stay on Injured: Akinde Not sure if I've missed anyone, but that's fourteen players affected by illness, injury or fitness issues. Surely you need as much cover as possible and need fit players on the bench. I'd rather have a match fit Tristan Plummer on the bench for example than a David Clarkson who has been consistently described by GJ as being "very weak". The whole illness thing appears to have been severely mismanaged. GJ says they're all using separate water bottles in training etc, but surely if anyone wakes up with any symptoms they should be staying at home and calling in, getting the club doctor out to assess them rather than bringing the virus in again and dealing with it there. Separate water bottles won't stop them all going into the same changing rooms etc... GJ said about Gerken that he looked like a hamster.....he shouldn't have been anywhere near the club for GJ to have seen him to know what he looks like!
