NeilPar72 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Out for 6 weeks after surgery. Quote
class of 76-77 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Good player but has the same chocolate knees and ankles that Dargo had. Quote
Mid Calder Saint Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 This guy really needs to change his profession.Totally injury prone.We simply cannot afford to carry this type of player. Quote
Bud the Baker Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Panic buy when TC realized he'd forgot to sign any cover for a suspended JG. Only available because he was injury prone, he's lived up to that part of his reputation. Not blaming the Prince of Darknessssssssssssssssss himself but the cartoon character who signed him - wonder if we'll see him in a Saints shirt again. I guess this means JG moves back to the holding midfield role and leaves us with no cover at the back again.......... Edited February 26, 2015 by Bud the Baker Quote

insaintee Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Ossie has been brilliant in some games and others meh. Quote
pod Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 This guy really needs to change his profession.Totally injury prone.We simply cannot afford to carry this type of player. How do you know the surgery won't cure his prone injury. Quote
Rabinho Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 I reckon with this spell out we may have seen the last of Osbourne. Never really looked fit to me. Quote
steve_the_saint Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Was this as a result of the challenge he received in the Friday night firhill game? He was absolutely raging when it happened and if so, u can understand why. Quote
cardeebuds Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 I'm finding the lack of respect being shown to Ozzie shocking here. He took a really bad tackle in the first game against Thistle at Firhill and has been playing through the pain from that for us. He then got an even worse tackle in the same place by the same player. I also think this is a big loss to the team on the pitch. Quote
flyingscot Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 The tackle at Firhill did him. Was a shocker too. He's a good player, injury prone yes, but a very decent midfielder. Quote

Dan Is The Man Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Quite gutted to hear that the big man is out for a while. Clearly injury prone but for me hes been an unsung hero this year in the middle, he does an absolute power of work. He will be sorely missed. An injury we could really do without right now. Quote
another alias Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 As others have pointed out, yet another dreadful TC signing. There is no doubting Osbourne's ablitity but when you sign a guy who is so injury prone then you can hardly be surprised when he gets injured! And let's not forget that Teale was assistant when this signing was made. Quote
kevo_smfc Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Absolutely great player, though sadly not fit enough to hold on to with an injury plagued career. Quote
Big Yards Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Great that means cheesys got off the hook again. We now need to play him since Goodwin will be needed in midfield. The luck this guys carried throughout his career is quite astounding! Quote
ulysses Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Great that means cheesys got off the hook again. We now need to play him since Goodwin will be needed in midfield. The luck this guys carried throughout his career is quite astounding! Cheesy is injured for 2 weeks. Quote
Bud the Baker Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 We have Jack ( Baird) and Viktor. I presumed Genev was signed as McAusland will be unavailable for a couple of weeks (see above post) so if Goodwin has to go to central midfield to replace Osbourne then by my reckoning that leaves us with 4 available defenders. Baird is normally listed as a midfielder and has just turned 19 this month so although he may well be thrown in at the deep end (again) at some point over the next couple of games I'm reluctant to concede the point. Quote
Kemp Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Baird does not look like an option at all, Tess will need to go back there, or someone else can play the holding midfielder role. Quote
ScotstounSaint Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Yes its a loss. But he is a well known injury prone player. Stupid signing. Quote
LoveStreetLover Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Osbourne is a great player, we have much better performances when he's in the team. If it was a result of him tackling someone, or he twisted something while sprinting, or if it was in training - sure you can class it as injury prone - but when its the result of a bad challenge from another team, its hardly his fault or f**king tommy craigs for that matter. Quote
JJ McG Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Osbourne will be a big miss, he's better in the holding role than Goodwin, Goodwin is getting slower now and gets caught out a lot more in that position and is a lot more likely to pick up silly bookings because of it. Quote
JM1 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Both Goodwin & Osbourne are slow (Osbourne proved this against ICT - he looks like he's running through treacle at times) so it wouldn't matter too much which of the two of them played in midfield. The problem is with Cheesy out, we might want to play Goodwin at centre half. Personally, I'd go with Goodwin in defensive midfield & Tesselaar alongside Genev. Quote
santaponsasaint Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 If we move Goody back to the midfield can we rely on to stay on the park for 90 mins Quote

Even in it's currant (sic) watered down vanilla state it's still a physical contact sport and that means a player is gonna have to face heavy and yes even the occasional bad/mistimed challenge, I don't see anyone blaming Osbourne but Tommy Craig with his vast experience of the game, spanning two millennia, should have known this.
