I didn't see it but if it was his ACL it will be hard to see him come back near last seasons levels now that he's in his 30s. It's a horrible injury, one of the worst in sport, and it can have long lasting effects and re occur. Fingers crossed it's just something small, you want to see the greatest players play as much as possible even if they're not for your county.

Was only half-watching at the time but he was on his feet so I presumed it wasn't too bad. Though what do I know about cruciate injuries (very little).

Mmm... Possibly ACL but it seemed more like a bad impact injury than the twist or giving way you'd see with the cruciate. Having said all that TG4 cameras didn't really catch it very well. Not all knee injuries are cruciate though- lot of other stuff in there to damage!

Crokes threw away chances, Castlebar were a bit better no doubt but the tackle on Cooper seemed intentional on the telly???? If so that is disgraceful, hard to debate when the top player gets TAKEN OUT so blatantly!!!!!!!

Bad knee knock I would say, no serious damage I am told but the hit was illegal and planned!!!!

Hate to see anyone injured, but copper could have been black-carded moments earlier

BS! The hit was a desperate last ditch block. How is that "planned"?

No way was the intentional so you may give that over , complete accident.

Would ye cop on lads. The Castlebar lad went in to block the ball. These things happen. I hope he's not badly hurt.

Well okay since ye say it was a blocking attempt that was accidental, as I had hoped, until another neutral friend at the match told me that it looked venomous to him. Then I will drop my sword and say may the hits continue. We can simply turn a blind eye to these coincidental occurrences, no problem.

In a contact sport... 'magine.

I blame the Iluminati personally. Has all the hallmarks of one of their dirty conspiracies.

Looked ok in the stand... Ice pack on his knee

Think he'll be ok... albeit a very dissapointing day for Crokes once again

Crazy to think how long it's been since a Kerry side lifted the ultimate prize

The long wait continues

Dead leg I'd say jimbo.

roundball (Tipperary) - Posts: 2514 - 15/02/2014 17:18:43    1546474

No way was that a dead leg he was holding his knee front and back which is never a good sign.

The illuminati would have been less obvious , no? Ah well, maybe I am wrong here, I hope. I hate to see players go around and deliberately commit such fouls.
