Faurlin 17:38 - Nov 2 with 21918 views | Nov77 | Being sent for a scan on Monday. Redknapp: "It doesn't look good. It's his left knee. Everyone's keeping everything crossed that it's not as bad as we fear." Ian Taylor: "Big win for the R's. Soured by the injury to @alefaurlin. Everyone at the club praying it's not as bad as we fear." [Post edited 2 Nov 2013 17:42]

Faurlin on 14:01 - Nov 4 with 2418 views | Nov77 | It's going to be hard to mentally recover from this, never mind physically. Hope the club stick by him. | |

Faurlin on 14:14 - Nov 4 with 2315 views | themodfather | damn! he is 27 so time on his side and hopefully he can recover but a long lay off good luck ale with the recovery ! | | | |
Faurlin on 14:16 - Nov 4 with 2301 views | Nov77 | Will Yossi be saying to Harry "gis a job, I can do that, go on, gis a job"? Fully expect Benayoun to be announced later this week following news on Ale. Apparently he's told friends he'll be signing for an English club this week. | |

Faurlin on 14:19 - Nov 4 with 2270 views | bosh67 | Ale can and will recover from this. It is his left knee this time, rather than the right one he did last time. Although this is terrible news it is his playing leg and that strangely may be an easier one for him to get strong again. I know that from personal experience as a left footer. Gallen did the same knee twice and came back. Ale now has to get the left leg better and get it strong. The club should give him the boost of a one year contract extension if he can make the recovery. That would give him belief and strength to get back and the guy deserves it. Big leaps forward in treatment of this so I for one expect to see the club do the right thing by Ale and give him every chance. I also expect to see Ale back in hoops either by the end of this season or ready for next. Get well soon Ale.Keep the faith. You are an R. We are all behind you! | |

Faurlin on 14:23 - Nov 4 with 2243 views | DWQPR | By all accounts TF when in the Crown after the match on Saturday said that the club will see him alright, hopefully SofN can confirm this. Would be a great gesture by the club to offer him a one year extension to his contract to give him time to recover and prove his fitness, if not for QPR ultimately but for another club. If anybody has had the good fortune to meet Ale, then they would back me up by saying that he is a really pleasant guy, polite, humble and really does love the club. A true rarity in todays greedy, obsessive footballing world. Good luck Ale and I look forward to seeing you back in the hoops. I know that what has happened to Ale is not in the same league as Stilyan Petrov at Villa but wouldn't it be nice that on every 32nd minute of a match the crowd started to sing Faurlin's name to show our support and appreciation for him. | |

Faurlin on 14:23 - Nov 4 with 2238 views | Charlie1 | Dreadful news. Fingers crossed for a full recovery. Having finally and deservedly got his place back in the team, well what rotten and shocking luck. The one positive is that he's recovered from this type of injury before, so can do so again. People should just ignore Jamie's gutter post. He's frequently wrong, proven wrong and the post sums him up. | |

Hope you're right but could be wishful thinking. Gallen was never the same player after his injury, and Faurlin had struggled to get back to his pre injury best. Poor bloke must be wondering what he's done to deserve this. | |

Yeah it'll be a tough one to take, devastating, physically & mentally for him. | |

Faurlin on 14:58 - Nov 4 with 2044 views | simmo | Just watched the extended highlights. At 13:16 on the video you can see exactly when he does it. Steps in on his left foot and his studs go into the ground and his knee pushes out. It is really quick but it's no surprise it was an ACL when you see it. | |

Faurlin on 15:12 - Nov 4 with 1987 views | A40Bosh | I do hope that TF is good to his word and that the club see Ale as the cherished "right sort" who deserves to be looked after. Whether he recovers fully to become the footballer many of us believe him to be is debatable, but first and foremost he deserves to be given the chance as the same way Kieron Dyer and many others before him were given the chance to recover. This is the downside of short term football contracts from an employees point of view, you get injured doing your job and you could be out of a job within months. I trust there must be insurance policies for players for this type of career threatening injury, even if it is extortionately expensive. | |

Faurlin on 15:26 - Nov 4 with 1933 views | westberksr | bollox..... gutted for him; he's never once let us down by being a typical footballer. for this to happen again is terrible for the guy. finally looked to have established himself back in the side (no idea how he'd been left out previously) and looked like a great partnership with Barton. in fact.. double bollox (epsecially to Jamie, the miserable scrote) fingers crossed for a speedy recovery Ali | | | |
Faurlin on 15:39 - Nov 4 with 1886 views | SonofNorfolt | I'm choked about this as much as anyone bar Ale. He was back playing well, and Jenas or Henry are simply not at the same level. If we don't go up this season his injury could be the main reason. | | | |
Faurlin on 15:49 - Nov 4 with 1860 views | QPunkR | Completely devastated, gutted and knocked for six by the confirmation of this news. I really do hope Uncle Tony and the Club stand by Ale and help him through this, and pray for his sake everything turns out ok | |

Faurlin on 16:06 - Nov 4 with 1782 views | simmo | Has anybody heard from Hunter? Someone might want to knock in after work and confiscate his shoelaces... | |

Faurlin on 16:36 - Nov 4 with 1713 views | Gloucs_R | Why would we give a crocked player another contract??? He has made £15k plus a week for the last few years, even if his career ended he would still be comfortable for life. I feel sorry for the bloke but I don't get the logic of giving him another contract. The Honorable thing would be to let his contract expire but continue to offer medical support and offer him a trial when he starts to regain fitness. | |

Faurlin on 16:42 - Nov 4 with 1682 views | Bens_dad | In our promotion season I thought he was as good as ANY Rangers midfielder I had ever seen since my first visit in 1969. Just wanted him to get back to that level and the signs were he was on his way. Gutted. Just gutted | | | |

I'm as gutted as anyone, but this a bit ott IMHO. Agree with Clive, only really back to what he was v Wigan and on Saturday. No squad should be reliant on one player to go up and I don't think we are/were. Loved watching him play and he has been a great servant but given our squad and resources we do on purely footballing terms have suitable alternatives. | | | |
