I presume Richardson is injured but the hopes of Max Thompson making the first team must be waning? Always seems to be sub now?

[boatshed bill]

Strong line-up.

Long term injury to Richardson I’ve heard

[ClaretTony]

18 mins: Burnley 1 Middlesbrough 0, Mellon crashing one in from right hand side on off bottom of far post.

We’ve been by far the better side.

[ClaretTony]

21 mins: Burnley 2 Middlesbrough 0, own goal I think from a ball in by Tucker

[Colburn_Claret]

Live score said Ne Jai Tucker

Now 2 0

[Mattster]

Mellon obviously grabbing a lot of the attention this season but seems like Tucker has really come on too, I was always a bit underwhelmed last season but he's impressed me a lot this time around.

[ClaretTony]

Live score said Ne Jai Tucker

Now 2 0

Tucker crossed it but it deflected massively off a defender but we think Mellon might just have got the last touch. But it’s not Tucker’s goal.

[ClaretTony]

Goal now correctly credited as a George Gitau own goal

[ClaretTony]

Gitau got a yellow card just after his own goal. How on earth he’s just avoided another I’ve no idea. Shocking challenge on Dodgson.

Still 2-0.

Long term injury to Richardson I’ve heard

Had an operation last week

Had an operation last week

We just never get any info on the injured young players

[ClaretTony]

Second half Just underway

[Peter Loo]

Has anyone got a link please.

[ClaretTony]

67 mins: Bobby Thomas sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity

[ClaretTony]

Poor second half. No improvement from Boro but we’ve gone off the boil

[mill hill claret]

We just never get any info on the injured young players

Which should be improved..a lot of people like to keep a close eye on our younger players

Is it really appropriate for the club to publicise the medical/health status of our young players?

[boatshed bill]

Is it really appropriate for the club to publicise the medical/health status of our young players?

I don't think so. We can usually guess when they are injured. They don't play

[ClaretTony]

79 mins: Costelloe on for Tucker

[ClaretTony]

Is it really appropriate for the club to publicise the medical/health status of our young players?

Yes, it’s giving Supporters information and we’ve done it previously.

[ClaretTony]

81 mins: Thompson on for McGlynn

[Rileybobs]

Yes, it’s giving Supporters information and we’ve done it previously.

Could it not be that the club now feel it’s more appropriate to keep private matters private though?

[ClaretTony]

Pen for Boro

[ClaretTony]

I think it’s fair to say the Boro player missed the target by some distance from the spot

[ClaretTony]

Could it not be that the club now feel it’s more appropriate to keep private matters private though?

Why on earth though?

I don’t think it’s the academy, more a lack of info coming from the media dept.

[ClaretTony]

87 mins: Rooney on for Mellon

[Mattster]

Had Glennon gone into central defence and Dodgson dropped to left back?

[ClaretTony]

We thought it was time to go home but 5 mins added on

[ClaretTony]

Had Glennon gone into central defence and Dodgson dropped to left back?

Did until Rooney came on

[Rileybobs]

Why on earth though?

I don’t think it’s the academy, more a lack of info coming from the media dept.

I can understand the injury status of senior professional players going into the public domain - although even that is debatable, but I’m not sure this is appropriate for academy players, some of whom are children.

If I was off work ill for whatever reason, I wouldn’t be too keen on my company putting it on their website.

[ClaretTony]

Game been stopped for nearly 3 mins - Costelloe injured after a foul.

Richardson is an adult.

Your analogy with your own workplace is rather odd.

[ClaretTony]

Won 2-0

[warksclaret]

Sounds like Mellon has a bright future-if he can be as good as his dad at his peak that would be fantastic

I dont think its unreasonable to be told about injuries amongst the U23s, most of whom have been in and around the first team squad.

[Buxtonclaret]

Thanks for the updates.

Strange post

I know Richardson is an adult, I was replying to a post saying that we don’t publicise the injuries of our young players and giving a valid reason why this may be the case.

What is so odd about my workplace analogy though? Should any employer be able to publicise the private health status of their employees? I think it’s a perfectly sensible question.

[Rileybobs]

Strange post

But why? See my point above to taio. No need to shut down the discussion - seems a perfectly valid question to me.

[ClaretTony]

You wouldn’t think he was Micky’s son though. Really impressed with him in the first half tonight when the whole team were good.

[ClaretTony]

But why? See my point above to taio. No need to shut down the discussion - seems a perfectly valid question to me.

We are talking about U23 players here - likes of Mancini, Harker, Richardson. It’s of interest to people about our players.

And I’ve no idea why you chose to mention your own work place.

Not 18 until December. He looks a prospect.
But let's not forget that the careers of these young men can easily stall.

The player in question was Richardson and the under 23s.

No your employer shouldn't be able to put your private health status on their website...without your consent. But it's completely different and I can't imagine why they'd want to in any case.

You do have an idea because I explained why I mentioned my own work place;

'Should any employer be able to publicise the private health status of their employees?'

I think the answer to that question is no, you may disagree which is obviously fine, but there's no need to be so dismissive of my perfectly sensible question.

This may or may not be the reason why we don't get as much injury news as we used to. It's notable that we also don't get specific updates from the manager, just vagueness. I expect the club, like any other employer, knows that they have to tread carefully with such issues.

But other players in the U23's are under 18, therefore children.

So you've agreed that my employer shouldn't make my private health matters public. Do football clubs operate under different data protection rules?

[mill hill claret]

Talk about over reaction ...most of them are young adults and are in the public domain anyway

Richardson is an adult.

I haven't agreed - I only agreed if it was done without consent.

You are over-thinking it.

I've already told you I know Richardson is an adult and that I was responding to a post stating that we don't publicise the injury status of our young players.

Maybe I am over-thinking it. To be honest I was looking for an open-minded discussion about whether the health status of footballers should be made public knowledge, although it looks like I've chosen the wrong place.
