I Injured my knee while playing May ‘24. Hospital refused to scan me, and diagnosed MCL injury. I had physio and sports massage for 9 months, and then the physio cleared me to play again. I went back and played 3 games before my knee didn’t feel right again. Paid for a private MRI and was diagnosed with complex meniscus tears and a redundant ACL. I’ve been waiting for surgery since, was told I was on the list, had my preop done, and just needed to wait for a date, to then find out today that I’m not on any surgery list and now need another initial consultation. I’m so angry. It’s going to be months now before I receive an operation date, and then months after that for recovery. At my age, it looks like this may be the end of my playing. Has anyone had this surgery at an older age? If so, how did it go, what was recovery time and did you play again? Thanks in advance!!

Hi, How many games do you get called off due to the weather? Do you have alternative facilities like an all weather pitch? Does your team/club finish all their games in the league? 🤔

As Christmas approaches, a lot of new goalkeepers — and especially parents — struggle to choose the right pair of goalkeeper gloves. In fact, most people get it wrong the first few times they buy. That’s usually because they pick gloves based on what their favourite professional keeper wears, how nice the gloves look, or simply because they seem like a good deal. But the most important factor is something completely different:you must choose a glove that matches the shape of your (or your child’s) hand. This is known as the glove cut, and getting it right is absolutely crucial. Below is a short article I’ve written that explains exactly how to select the correct glove shape for your keeper’s hand. It only takes about five minutes to read — and it’s well worth your time. Choosing the right glove will help you save money, improve comfort, and ultimately perform better. 👉 https://j4ksports.com/pages/how-to-pick-correct-goalkeeper-glove
