Beating United in 2003 is probably on par with it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northam soul Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) I thought Martin said that Lallana sully and him would on the grass last week and in contention for Cardiff. Must admit I haven’t seen him in any training pics so maybe he meant they would be smoking weed last week.

hypochondriac Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 We'll see him really soon apparently. It's all subjective though. Over the scale of the aging of the cosmic universe, Stewart being out is less than a blink of an eye. Or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he had a bad reaction to the pollen and will be out for a couple of weeks. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played about 20 minutes at the end of last season and touched the ball 13 times. Pretty sure he didn't warm up at all for the WBA home game as well, so not sure what that was all about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to answer given the club's furtiveness and/or subtefuge on the matter... if only we had some investigative local journos who could get to the truth rather than sit there meekly not challenging it every time Russ glibly trots out the "two weeks" line...

The whole thing is a bit odd, to not even travel to Spain for pre-season rang alarm bells for me. We were given excuses to do with the grass in Spain not being right for him and all sorts of shit. There's almost certainly more to this than is being let on, he's obviously got some sort of chorionic long-term condition that he's having to manage. He'll be advised to retire in the next year, I'm sure of it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loudest alarm bell for me was the open-training session at St Mary's on 1st August. It wasn't really a training session at all. More of a warm down session from the Oxford game the night before and/or a 'meet the fans' event. I'm pretty sure there were other players there who weren't in training due to fitness issues, but no sign of Stewart, even in a meet-and-greet capacity (if I recall correctly). And I'm also pretty sure this session came a week after another one of Russ's "he'll be back on the grass next week" declarations. One assumes the club would defend their furtiveness by saying they are being protective of Ross, not just from the physical injury side of things but I would imagine he won't be in a good place mentally either if his career is in jeopardy. Which is fair enough really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that, but a standard PFA contract term was (I'm unsure if it is now) that each game missed after being injured in the field of play or being selected in a match day squad was deemed to be an appearance for bonuses etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been such a long time for what on the surface appears to be a relatively minor injury or even injuries, there must be a decent juicy story somewhere.

Most, if not all, local journos tend to prefer to ingratiate themselves with the club they report on, as they know that rocking the boat is likely to cut them adrift. I'd be surprised if most journos don't already know the full story with regards RS and are keeping it under their hat to avoid souring relations with the club, which is understandable I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody tackling you whilst you take a swing. No sustained sprints. No moving at speed on your legs in different directions. A 70 year old can play golf but not competitive football. Ross can play golf as much as he likes and in no way would it suggest anything out of the ordinary. Edited September 4 by Daft Kerplunk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s pretty obvious and serves to show perhaps where his fitness levels actually are - i.e, he really is crocked for good. Let’s hope not - it’s a big investment for the club to lose.

saintant Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Is he on the grass yet? And by grass I don't mean the fairways and greens of a local golf course I mean the pitches at Stableford. We've been continually told for ages that he is two weeks away so I'm assuming he's training with those not on international duty. I certainly hope so because I genuinely think the guy deserves a bit of good fortune as he's been through what must have been tough times. He's untried at the highest level but I have a feeling that a fit and firing Ross Stewart would not look out of place in the Premier League if and when he gets some playing time under his belt. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
