Great idea for this thread Fran.

Often see articles from various football blogs which are not thread worthy, but of interest.

This is a blog about Shane Long and why he deserves regular first team football

http://tbrfootball.com/must-southamptons-shane-long-still-search-regular-first-team-action/
Makes a good point about Long not starting for club or country, but realistically he has a better chance of starting for Ireland than Saints. I love Long and having a striker like him to come on as a sub in a game drifting nowhere is fantastic, but he won't usurp Pelle or Mane unless they are injured...and JRod is in the wings as well. Only Shane can answer the question if he wants to stay here and wait his chance or go to side more in need of a starting striker. It's the lot of the footballer really.
 
Wow... that's quite impressive to be there already following that injury. Go Fraser!

If that was us we would be considered recovered, I've no doubt. Just shows that professionals footballers have to be absolutely right and fit to play football properly. Even if they are just goalies**. <whistle>


**to counter the observation - but he's just a goalie. :)
 
On that evidence, I would have thought he would be back this season. Potentially by January, if he is jumping on boxes for fun
