• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Yes, footballers can be pretty thick. You're expected not to let the team down, maybe it's taken a while to get your chance to impress, and sometimes that means missing months because you played on with a problem that might have lasted a few days. Kukharevych last season, for example. Brandon Cooper when on loan at Swindon. How many players do you see pull a hamstring and want to go back on, only to go down again next time they attempt a sprint? Fact is most players are playing through some pain most of the time, and knowing what needs treatment in the moment is difficult.

Timewasting existed but solving it means putting players at more risk, unfortunately.

Benda at QPR last season was another example, played on after going down and missed the rest of the campaign with a serious knee injury...

Part of this is also the job of the sports science teams.
Its why I suspect we substituted Placheta after 65 mins, medical team probably told LW that he was only ready for an hour and so we pulled him even when he was having an excellent game. If he pulled something LW would have been rightly getting pelters for ignoring medical advice.

Players we've hated but perhaps admired as well.
