Smithy's in nets!

[ijjysmith]

Just got back from my first footie tournament for 8 months after I'd done my achillies in!

Have to say it went well. We got to the final but lost 4-2. As a keeper I reckon i did pretty well. Didn't let a goal in the groups. We were 2-0 down in the semi, I pulled off a full stretch bottom left corner worldy and somehow we went onto win 4-2.

The final. Well they were just better than us. Nobody to blame for any of the goals and on another day we could have nicked it.

All in all, happy with my comeback but god I ache like a bitch right now!

If England show half the spirit my boys did tonight we will do alright in the world cup!

'it's coming home!'

I know what its like to do your Achilles. Mind you i know what it's like having most injuries. You will always think it's about to go again, any time you get a minor twinge. When i did mine i was sure someone had booted me really hard, yet it went all by itself with nobody near me.

Yep i heard mine pop too. It felt and sounded like a severe boot there, but like i said nobody was near me. It took me nearly 8 months before it was fully healed. Even now though i get twinges in it, and i think it's about to pop again.

Same with my knee (sorry, way way way minor next to your, but...) - strained knee ligaments, 2 out of 3 times from football, fine - i understand. Last time it happened while i was going down the stairs. And now i get paranoid when i get even a minor twitch in there... It's probably 20 times worse for you.

I havent played in a long time. I did play a few games after the injury, but then i had other peroblems so i had to stop playing.

 

[ijjysmith]

[ijjysmith]
