Dave Ferg Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Has anyone anymore info on the reported departure of our physio? Not wanting to stir up any controversy here but we have had our fair share of injuries and associated niggles recently. We seem to have an unprecedented level of staff in the physiotherapy/sports science side of things but this doesn't appear to reflect in a reduction of players dropping out of squads. Would anyone else be up for crossing the water and kidnapping young Fearghal to bring him back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lang toon saintie Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 It is my understanding that he physio had handed in his resignation and was working his notice period.This was due to a breakdown of the working relationship between him and the manager.I also heard that a dispute regarding Chris Millar's fitness to play on Sunday lead to his early departure.

Saintdunc Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I also heard that a dispute regarding Chris Millar's fitness to play on Sunday lead to his early departure. If true, then the Physio must have won that argument, because Chris Millar was, once again, not in the Match Day squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 If true, then the Physio must have won that argument, because Chris Millar was, once again, not in the Match Day squad. From what TW said on the radio Foster had felt his thigh muscle injury during the warm up but they thought it was okay and then as soon as he kicked the ball it went. I wonder if that could have been an issue at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Apparently theres been issues the relating to diagnosis, and treatment, of the players. The club seems to believe that the injuries could've been treated far quicker than they have been, especially the likes of Millar and Wotherspoon. Foster was just the final straw. You wonder how much of an impact Mackays retirement had on the decision too. mainstand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemoon Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Perhaps says more about Tommy that he is now on his 3rd physio in 4 years! Funny how Mike McBride, the Scotland physio, wasn't good enough for Tommy either and he got rid of him?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 A couple of the physios left to go to other jobs. Like the miracle worker guy who was homesick for Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how Mike McBride, the Scotland physio, wasn't good enough for Tommy either and he got rid of him?! Not strictly true. McBride went back down south, when he was here he was also with Spire. Feargal went back home . So don't think it does say much about Tommy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Looking at it the other way I guess it is good players ignore their own bodies as they are desperate to play for Saints. Dave Ferg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 McBride was given his notice by Tommy in March 2015. Then he went down to Wigan due to his friendship with Gary Caldwell, I know him reasonably well so know this to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintgscot Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Funny was at hearts game and was by dugout and thought the assistant physiology was nice.

mainstand Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Saintgscot Abernethy The physio is fully qualified. I think you will find that the Doc assists the physio during matches her role is to deal with any players that need treatment etc after they come off the pitch.
