CONFIRMED: Rodriguez ruptures ACL - out for SIX months


Saint-Armstrong

Recommended Posts

**** I'm gutted for him. I see it as testament to his commitment. Jay busted his world cup going for a 50/50 ball in a game that most would consider a game that was not worth much to our teams continued season, but he still put his all in, a true professional. He Didn't deserve this, it's ****, but he's a hero in my eyes for caring enough and committing to the Saints to be in the situation in the first place. Get well soon J-rod.

Eh?

 

It was not a 50/50 challenge, nearest City player was 3 or 4 yds away.

Of course the game meant something to our season, at the time we were pushing on in the game and dominating possession and chances. IF we could have got something out of the game we could still have caught manure.

Indeed he went up high to control a ball and landed badly so that his knee folded under him, lovely bit of control though.

Absolutely gutted for the lad. I felt he had a cracking chance of making it to Brazil as he plays with a brain unlike other contenders like Wellbeck.

 

It was no consolation to him but it was a nice touch how the Citeh fans applauded him off the pitch on Saturday.

 

Hope he gets through the Op OK and I wish him well with all the rehab.

Well put.

 

Hope he recovers well and makes a strong comeback for the Saints.

 

All is not lost J-Rod, the Euros are just two years away!

Word. Is there any news for the minute's silence on saturday? I mean obv we'll be doing it but will all prem games be doing it? Would be nice mark of respect.

 

A few Twitter folk are suggesting a round of applause in the ninth minute.

Deffo think 1 minutes applause in 9th minute would be great to support Jay! :) #saintsfc

 

I think the 9th minute has something to do with the no. 9 shirt that he used to wear. Forever in our memories, Jay.

Word is that Kat has commissioned a statue.

 

Where's the campaign to re-name Southampton Airport FFS.

 

And a road or something permanent like that. Who the f**k is Thomas Lewis anyway?

 

I might buy some Asda lo-price sausages and make a stew type dish to name after him. They contain ligaments and stuff so i will fondly remember JayRod as i chew through the gristly platter.

every disappointing result we have in the next 6 months will be due to jay rod's absence. I just wanted to say that now cos it will save me the trouble of saying it in every match thread. RIP

 

Is that why Alpine has started a thread about being worried for next season? He isn't going to mention it again? :rolleyes:

Any news on Jay? Did he have an operation and was the initial scan diagnosis confirmed? There must be different degrees of ruptured ligament.

 

I guess at this point of his recovery he is just in a cast with his leg immobile.

God J-Rod is sooo dull..

 

Good to see him determined to get back though and is too eager too it seems!

 

I don't know, Falcao had roughly the same injury at the end of January and he's back with the Columbian squad for the WC.

Whether he'll actually play I couldn't say but he thinks he will.
