Great news indeed!!

Given our penchant for looking at the worst possible scenario. I am very pleased that the news is not that bad. Ok he wll be out for at least 2 possibly 3 weeks. I don't totaly hold with ML's assessment of days as Damian will want to get him properly fit and not try to rush him back causing a worse injury in the process.
No Danny Take your time, Get fit and get back. I would rather go 3 weeks with no Danny and find him ready for the run in raring to go and on fire.
It does look a little like we are really riding our luck this season.. Maybe it is our year. No I won't say it and put a hoodoo on it. But thinks are looking rosier each day.

I may be overly pessimistic, given that our physio can work wonders, but from what I've read on the OS, I reckon Danny will be out for at least 3 or 4 weeks.

Well Bix looks like your post was spot on.. :clap:

Injury not as bad as first feared...http://www.torquayunited.com/page/InjuryNews/0,,10445~2634704,00.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Good news indeed for the lad, and to think it was confirmed as a broken ankle, official on the Torquayfc facebook thingy yesterday :rofl:

P.S where is the match thread Bix, got to keep your run going :)[/quote]
i'm choosing my games carefully thanks mate, i just dont have the "vibe" about tomorrow night, i may do one for the gas game tho??!! watch this space!

the swelling wont affect the release of news of what the xray says, i'm a nurse and worked in orthopaedics for several years, so i understand that swelling will delay any operation needed but it wont stop an xray or a scan being done. that surely wouldve been done as soon as he got to hospital on saturday night, someone must know. hopefully the no news is good news mantra will apply here??

I should imagine it would depend on the swelling, it is difficult to get an acurate picture if there is to much swelling, lack of news might suggest his ankle is not broken maybe, which might be a bit wierd for me to say, however as many of us know, a clean broken bone can sometimes heal quicker.

Think we are all hoping for some good news for the lad, a real shame if he is out for the rest of season, been playing so well has little Danny.

P.S where is the match thread Bix, got to keep your run going :)

i thought there might have been an update today on the OS, he mustve had some scans or x-rays done by now?

did he travel home with the squad on saturday evening or was he kept up there overnight?

I'm from Yorkshire Ben so get yer own beer! :lol:

Trust me, its VERY hard to ignore Dave.

And a beer would be lovely.

[quote="Southampton Gull"]Ben, just look out for a guy with pink ribbons in his hair and wearing high heels, he'll also probably ask you for a date :)[/quote]

:red:

I meant 'friendly welcome' as in, 'eyup me ol' china, ahyu awreight? Does tha want a beer cos am gooin t'bar'. :na:

Ignore Dave, he's just jealous. :lol:

Threesome it is then, lucky you ;-)

But at Cheltenham you told me Scott was going to ask me out for a date?? Wow, to be popular!

Ben, just look out for a guy with pink ribbons in his hair and wearing high heels, he'll also probably ask you for a date :)

Haha ben, no worries mate. I can be a bit irrational and erratic at times but i like to think i'm honest and fair and everything to me is black or white so i suppose some could call me simple. (I've got a degree though! :-D ). I'm going to Rotherham with a Sheff Wednesday supporting mate but if you see someone with both arms tattooed up to the nines in Austrian related pictures / logos and German writing and yelling in a Yorkshire accent then you'll know you,ve got the right man! :nod: I reckon the night air in Sheffield will be a tad cold for me to be wearing short sleeves next tuesday night but i do when the weather is nice. The only time i've gone short sleeved is when we won at Burton last season and it was a scorcher of a day. I didn't like to go short sleeved before as i actually was concerned that other Gulls would look at my tattoos and think i was a bit odd - why no TUFC tattoo on show perhaps? But since then i've thought f**k it. Don't worry about other folk and i now wear t-shirts or a replica shirt if i want. Still Ben if i ever do bump into you you can be sure of a friendly welcome. :)
