Gibson played a horrible pass back to the defence which was intercepted by Reutlingen's forwards who had no problems to make it 1-0. That's surely the reason why he was substituted. The pk for Reutlingen (0-2) was a bad joke though.
Seems that Gibson played right backer, was rated 5 http://www.kicker.de/content/spielp...02/03&spieltag=5&spielpaarung=572505&turnier=
Short note in kicker: Grover Gibson has torn his mucous bag (??? Bag would be word by word translation) in his left knee and had to be treated in hospital.
meniscus perhaps? that would not be a good thing, out a month at least if true...possibly like the injury mathis had that kept him about a month. just pure speculation on my part...
here you see mike duhaney helping out grover thats why he was substituded he has to pause 3-4 weeks :-(
Mainz downturn? Seems like the last two games, with Grover in the lineup, unforturnately Mainz has not gotten any results. Is this a coincedence or are there other problems? It's bad luck for a manager to introduce a new player and then results to start going south. Wonder if this will effect him for the rest of the fall?
Re: Mainz downturn? grover is not the only new player in mainz so he is defenitly NOT the problem. ther are also: Benjamin Auer ( 450.000 EURO) Mathias Abel (10.000 EURO) Andreas Buck (free) Spasoje Bulajic (50.000 EURO) Mike Duhaney (Columbus Crew, free) Grover Gibson (SV Elversberg, free) Ermin Melunovic (free) Igoris Morinas (free) Marco Rose (50.000 EURO rent) and some young amateurs sometimes playing for the 1.team: Mohammed Muftawu Mimoun Azaouagh last game lineup: Wache - C. Babatz, S. Bulajic, P. Neustädter, M. Rose J. Kramny, D. Weiland, G. Gibson (47. M. Azaouagh) B. Auer (65. E. Melunovic), A. Voronin you can see that there was 6 new players on the field. mainz was more than 70% with the ball and get two counter atacks and one penalty. the future still looks nice for mainz05 and also for grover and mike. next game is on wendsday at home against the trier.
maybe the mensiscus. but if he is expected back in 3-4 weeks it may be a burst bursa sac. This used to be called "water-on-the-knee". Basically, the knee joint is lined by bags of fluid that help the biomechanics of its movement (e.g. ease the friction, cushion the joint). One of these burst open and his knee swelled up. Only a little painful - surgery not necessary. If his meniscus is torn surgery is usually warranted. I burst my bursa sac (the one at the top of my knee) at IU soccer camp in 1988. A guy ran into me ... hard - in the collision I also chipped my tooth and that hurt worse than the knee. But, you can run with a chipped tooth and not with a swollen knee. as always, thanks for the info olaf. you are my favorite BS'er.
Definitely not meniscus as this is almost the same word in German (just capital m and k instead of c). Bursa sac might be a good guess. German term for the injury is 'Schleimbeutelriss'. Try it at babelfish and I'm pretty sure you get something like 'torn scum bag'
