alcd Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 On 11/10/2019 at 12:24, Ewood Ace said: He's out of contract the end of next season so he will probably put in a handful of good performances at the end of this season and the beginning of next. Because let's be honest he is now incredibly in his seventh season at the club and he has only ever put a run of good performances together when he needs a new contract. Evans has contract to 2022.

I think he is a lot better than a lot give him credit for and will be a miss Depends whether another blow to the face could endanger his eyesight Quote

davulsukur Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/january/gaffer-corry-update/ Says he's fractured his eye socket and skull. Assuming it's probably different but the lad who played for Hull, Ryan Mason, had to retire in his mid 20's over a fractured skull. Hope he has a successful recovery. 1 Quote
Ossydave Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 I've fractured my skull previously and was advised never to play contact sports again without protection. Granted mine was particularly bad and I also had a bleed on the brain. Severe head injuries can also impact you in other ways bringing on anxiety and other issues. Wishing him a speedy recovery. 1 Quote

Poor lad. Here’s hoping for a follow-up ‘not as bad as first feared’ but it certainly doesn’t look good. 3 Quote
DeeCee Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Hopefully a full and speedy recovery ? 1 Quote
Vilesinner Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 A nightmare for the lad, and big blow for supporters of Rovers and N Ireland. Hopefully it isn't as bad as it sounds and we see him again before the end of the season. Quote
JacknOry Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Broken nose, broken cheekbone, shattered eye socket and a frontal skull fracture - and the Preston guy initially said he didn't even make contact with him. 1 Quote
Backroom DE. Posted January 16, 2020 Backroom Posted January 16, 2020 All the best to Corry on his recovery. Sounds like a bad one. Quote

And the Ref didn't think it was worthy of even a yellow, IIRC. I'm not suggesting VAR for fouls/cards but when you add 7 mins stoppage time . . . , Quote
m1st Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Sorry, I should have added that I, too, hope it isn't a career-ending injury for the sake of the lad who I, too, wish a full recovery. Quote
bazza Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 6 hours ago, Exiled in Toronto said: Not even deemed a yellow. And it’s not like he had his head really low. To be fair, the North End player never saw him coming. At first I thought it was very tame and that Evans was play-acting and overdoing it. Obviously I was horribly wrong. But I still think it was a pure accident. I wish Evans all the best. What awful injuries we have had this season. Quote
Backroom Tom Posted January 16, 2020 Backroom Posted January 16, 2020 Accident or not it’s clearly dangerous play Quote

Proudtobeblue&white Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Feel for him, bad injuries are a footballer's nightmare. Whilst not a World beater, he's always put in a shift and I hope it doesn't effect his career long term. 1 Quote
Popular Post Phil Greenough Posted January 17, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 17, 2020 Everton fan here. Just signed up to wish Corry Evans all the best of luck and a speedy recovery, after sustaining his horrific head injury. Good luck with the rest of your season. 17 Quote

SBlue Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Bet he ain’t unscathed. Will drop a peanut on his foot on the flight back or summat. Quote

Stuart Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 “Lewis Holtby phoned me at 11.15 on Friday night telling me that he’d got a 38.6 temperature,” Mowbray said. Yet he was negative for the virus. This is what the current approach is doing to the country. Either test players regularly and trust the testing process or knock the season on the head. Having one symptom, which could be for a myriad of things, and it ruling players out is a nonsense. 3 Quote
