That’ll be the plastic pitches. I always feel one half degree of movement away from snapping a cruciate playing on them.

He seemed to have started well under Gerrard as well so I’m sorry to hear that.

That's really sad to hear.

Wish him well

 

[Badger Boy]

Absolutely gutted for him, he started really well for them this season and Gerrard looks like he's got them well organised and really functional. It's a huge shame for him, and for Murphy, that this has happened. A real shame for all involved, get well soon Jamie.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Gutted. Seemed to have started really well and be developing into an important role. Hope he gets back into the team in the future or could find it difficult to get more chances.

Bad news for him. IMHO artificial pitches should be banned in pro soccer.

So should the word soccer.

Terrible news, hope he makes a good recovery as soon as possible.

 

[Triggaaar]

Get well Jamie

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Wishing him a speedy recovery. This could have been a great season for him but it's probably that pitch that's done him. It can be a long lonely road getting back from this kind of injury, but I'm sure Jamie has the character to get through it.

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

Speedy recovery Jamie.

So should the word soccer.

I got pulled up on this in a thread recently so here I am, paying it forward:

The word soccer comes from an abbreviation for Association (from Association Football, the ‘official’ name for the game) plus the addition of the suffix –er. This suffix (originally Rugby School slang, and then adopted by Oxford University), was appended to ‘shortened’ nouns, in order to form jocular words. Rugger is probably the most common example, but other examples included in the Oxford English Dictionary are brekker (for breakfast), bonner (for bonfire), and cupper (a series of intercollegiate matches played in competition for a cup).

See they've signed Kyle Rafferty

Good luck Jamie....

So should grass, one assumes, given cruciate ligament injuries incurred on the surface by, amongst hundreds of others, Solly March, Glenn Murray, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jake Forster-Caskey and so on.

 

[brightn'ove]

Is there any actual data on the incidence of ACL injuries on plastic vs grass/hybrid pitches?

 

[Blue3]

Head up Jamie its not the career ending injury it once was and like all Brighton fans will be looking out for your return

I agree. Did my cruciate on a plastic pitch. Sad loss to the game of football
