Beckford has labyrinthitus...

[PNE Chris]

Reading peoples personal experiences with it in here it sounds as though it is something you can't put an exact recovery time on. We aren't in any position to be turning strikers away atm but seems pointless to keep hold of him if it could happen at any moment, send him back imo. He has been better than I expected since arriving but I won't miss the constant offsides. Just have to hope SEB gets fitter sharpish and we can hobble along until Garner gets back.

if beckford has labyrinthitus then I doubt we will see him in up and coming games ... I have suffered from it in the past and it is like sea sickess, some people require extensive hospital treatment. Doctors reckon its a virus infection that upset your internal ear canals/brains balance mechanism. When is he due to return to Bolton ?

There was me thinking he'd just got lost in a maze.

To be fair, I'd probably feel dizzy wearing pants that tight ...

 

[aspire]

I've had the same - fortunately mine cleared up within weeks with antibiotics so fingers crossed for a swift return to action for a desparately needed forward who knows where the net is.

I had this about 10 years ago and was signed off work for near 6 months. Can be fine one minute then bang it hits you. Would not wish it on my own worst enemy. I had to go to balance rehab it was that bad.

 

[beejaylee]

Sounds horrendous.

I was being pretty cynical about Beckfords alleged condition but if this is how it is then I can see why he's been out.

I was harsh on the guy as well and I am sincerely sorry. Hope his condition improves.

 

[One of our own]

Hope he gets well but if it freed up a wage and he can't play for a good while they we would be best to send him back.

 

[Bazooka Joe]

So we've signed a player that can't look around with out falling down?

Well done Simon.

Think we should check if Garner has this condition.

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Im not quite sure people are grasping the seiousness of this condition. Seeing a lot of really uncharitable postings. Its a career threatening illness, ive mentioned it a few times on other threads.

Seriously hope the lad isnt as bad as it seems because its not just bad luck for us, as a club, but devasting news for a pro player 🙁

Well said. It's shit news for PNE, but potentially even shittier news for a decent young player.

 

[PNE Chris]

Young player? He is 31.

 

[Thracia]

It's surely something more sinister than bad luck?

Some CSI-style revenge plot involving Chris Beardsley?

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Young player? He is 31.

Sorry, I meant to say old 🙂

 

[GloucesterPete]

Has this been confirmed by the Club?

Well done Simon.

For your sake I hope that you don't get it.

Why bother with a bit of sympathy when you can make a joke out of someone's misfortune?

Shut up.

 

[Tuesday Nights_]

Shut up.

Or perhaps you could understand how stupidly obnoxious you are making yourself look, and ...... shut up.

 

[Baldygit]

Sorry, I meant to say old 🙂

Old? He's only 31 🙂

 

[Tugg Speedman]

Cripes. Talk about bad luck. All the best Jermaine.

Being stupidly obnoxious is part and parcel of being me.

As is being arrogant, good looking and insensitive.
