“January to September = 9 months
Now what could keep a player out for that length of time when it's not a serious injury? Mmmmmmmmm..... let me think now......”
He’s having a baby! Wow . No wonder it has to be hushed up. [Post edited 23 Jul 7:21]

What's the odds the baby is going to be late and can we guess the number of weeks/months late.... | |

I mean there is a chance there could a serious issue going on which the club wouldn't be able to tell us anyway but really it's a lot more likely that he's picked up an injury. This thread kind of shows why this forum is becoming a laughing stock at the moment. |  | | |

How many pages of supposition us this gonna bring. If you don't actually KNOW then why offer a guess one way or the other?
Does my head in this sort of speculation... |
Because Davman, if there is one thing some people on this forum love... A conspiracy, and as long as it fits the agenda they are happy to keep pushing it |  | | |

Goodness me, I know the WC is over and the new season hasn’t begun yet, so we are bored in footballing terms. But 2 pages because a a young lad is injured? |  | | |

Players get injured. Players returning from injuries often get injured again.
I'm not comparing the two in terms of ability or whatever, but Paul Furlong spent years before joining us and then the first few months after joining QPR perpetually injured with hamstring, back and knee woe. Everyone thought we'd signed a dud, ready for glue. There was even, if I recall, an article in a paper hailing his longest run of games for seasons before a cup game early on: he'd played seven games. Then he was injured again, missing that cup game and several more...
In the end, he wasn't done. He went on his longest run of games subsequently (thanks to the quietly excellent physio Prav) and became a club legend.
Obikwu is 22. He may never come good as a Championship striker. But he probably won't remain injured. And it's July. | | | |

Well, not just him, and not just this thread. As DaveB says higher up I don't like seeing this forum get dragged and taken the mick out of because it's my baby and something I've put a lot of time into.
A lot of the Taylor Richards stuff was legit, and I get it's like being in a relationship where one of the parties has told a big lie in the past you're always suspicious.
As far as I know Obikwu has just been really, really unlucky with injury since he got here. He's a young lad, probably as frustrated as everyone else. I think a bit of 'does he really exist' pis taking is fine, questions about our treatment of injuries overall totally legit, but when we're getting into outright conspiracy theory (and I've had to delete previous threads wildly speculating on other potential reasons with him) it's not on really. Or legally safe in some of the previous cases.
Just, like I say, think before posting.

It can be a hard read on here at times, nothing Is ever perfect nor will It be, this MB Is the only one I use/read.
We have over time lost some good posters.
I could give you a list of missing and IMO good and interesting posters If I thought about, not just funny/Interesting but noticeably very knowledgeable about football. |  |

The club put out a statement saying he wasnt fit for last friendly due to picking up another injury in a very small cameo appearance where he hardly got out of third gear. Dont see how you can pick up an injury so quickly again, especially when its just a very brief training run out.
I hope its nothing but January to July no appearances is a concern i would suggest whatever the reason for not being able to play, its not a good situation for us or him.
Fingers crossed its nothing then.
I think though fans have a right to ask questions. He was brought in to cover an injured player and he has been injured ever since arriving.
Whatever way you look at it, thats not great. Sorry if stating that causes concern. [Post edited 23 Jul 1:09]

If you can strain a muscle getting out of bed in the morning there is no surprise you can do similar playing football even if it's "a very small cameo". | | | |

Off topic, but I once knackered by back for about 4 weeks by sneezing. Everyone took the piss which made it worse. |  |

Went to an away Port Vale game with a pal of mine and bought tickets for the raffle drawn at half time, my mate says "hey that's my number" they've drawn out, saw a steward and he said you have to go up to the porta cabin to claim.
So on the rush to get there and back before the start of the second half my mate trips on the stairs going up to the cabin and immediately collapses in great pain, nether the less he forces himself up the stairs to claim his prize and it was----------------2 tickets for Port Vales next home game, he decided not to take them up on this generous offer.
He damaged his ACL and was off work for months. | | | |

He’s on the clubs instagram (with Smyth, Koki) saying he’ll see us on Saturday. Is he really injured? Maybe he means the pub? 😉 | | | |

There a brilliant clip and I would post it here if knew how. They got a fella out of the crowd here to toss the coin in an AFL game and he pulled his hammy tossing the coin. Very funny. | | | |

Ended up being carted off in a ambulance after slipping a disc sneezing. That was an embarrassing moment 😳 |  |

When QPR official site either goes dumb OR puts out information that would have made Pravda blush, then people will fill the gaps with speculation. It's human nature and happens in all sorts of areas. |  |
