    He’s likely to have passed a fitness before the game anyway


    Medical have said he’s ok and been picked to start

    I'm sure that's true, but I'm also certain that everyone knows that isn't conclusive of anything and it will have been a risk based judgement taking many factors into deciding it, including what the player said and how important the manager thought it was that he was available.

    It's a complex decision and we got it wrong, obvious, easy to see risks were taken by those involved. Do people really think what happened wasn't related to Johnston returning from injury too soon?

    Don’t think it’s a case of coming back too soon


    A freak situation more than anything

    It's really worrying that AJ did his hamstring on his first game back from doing his hamstring, that kind of injury has ruined careers so our medical department needs to really careful in managing AJ's return next time NO MATTER WHAT Brendan or the team needs, worrying, as I said.

    I get what your saying but think about how long his body has had to play with pretty much no break because of all his duties with Canada. I don't think what happened Thursday night suggests something dangerous to his career at all just more a case of when it rains it pours.

    Asked about Johnston, O’Neill said: “Yeah, I’ve met him a couple of times. He’s a lively lad, isn’t he! Really lively. Really nice fella.

    “I kind of got to know him before, because when he was at Nashville, he was being coached by Stevie Guppy. So we’ve had a little chat about Stevie, and that was nice.
