His ligaments died for their sins.
any word on His Knee?
scans in the dark room developing right now.
We forgot - it IS New Zillund.....probably waiting for them to get back from the chemists!
Have been most worried that he was carted down the race and put down.
What third world country still has to develop scans?
Ahhhhhh, NZ.
The Great Man has tweeted.
Knee has pulled up well and he is playing V Heart this week end
The bloke truly walks on water.
FORZA GRIFFO
I shall now quote from the Book Of Griff
Chapter 9 Verse 9
And on the third day His knee rose again to smite the wrongdoers. The Lord saw that it was good brought before His knee the sac of the Fat Controller crying " Go forth Griff and use thy Holy Knee to sac wack this man that vexes me so". And the sac was duly wacked and the Lord saw that it was good and the people in the Garden of Newy saw that it was good and the the Light of the Lord shone upon his knee.
Here endeth the lesson

Wellington Phoenix attacker Joel Griffiths's season is over after scans revealed he has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left leg.
The injury leaves question marks over Griffiths's playing future, but the 35-year-old hopes the news doesn't signal the end.
"It has been one of the worst years of my life, football-wise," Griffiths said.
"I hope I don't have to go out like this and if I have anything to do with it I won't.
"A lot of people have written me off in the past and I have proved them wrong.
"In the back of my mind this time they may be right but I will be doing everything possible to get back.
"I am a very determined person and when I want something I usually get it – just ask my wife!"
The striker will undergo an operation in the next four to six weeks once the swelling is reduced.
"I have absolutely loved it at the Phoenix where the culture is fantastic," Griffiths, who joined the club from Newcastle Jets, said.
"I was so down after the problems at Newcastle and what I found in Wellington was a breath of fresh air.
"I take my hat off to Ernie (Merrick) and Dura (Andrew Durante) for making the opportunity available.
"Those two put so much faith in me I am more upset at not being able to contribute for the rest of the season."
Griffiths also revealed that he had been offered a contract by the Phoenix for next season.
"The club put an offer in front of me and after discussing it with my wife I was going to sign another contract," he said.
"It (the club) is very special and I believe it has a great future."
Phoenix coach Merrick said he believed Griffiths had handled himself well after the devastating injury news.
"He was a great acquisition for our squad and it is a major blow for him," Merrick said.
"I have to say he is coping very well with what has happened and that is because he is an extremely positive person who fitted easily into our culture.
"Joel has always been fit and professional in the way he has looked after himself and I strongly believe he will come back from this and play in the A-League again."
Griffiths picked up the injury in last Sunday's 3-0 loss to Melbourne Victory in Wellington.
Really sad news for griff. Hope he gets a chance to finish on his terms rather than the injury.
He has to be realistic though, he turns 36 next season and it is obvious he is not as explosive as Griff of old..
not explosive?
I was going to call you a cünt but no vagina on earth would describe the Griff that way
Truth hurts to those with rose coloured glasses. Griff is still better than many, but not the player he was.
Blakmak gonna turn up soon and tell ya "no negatif commence" in dis fred.
A great sermon. Wheres the collection plate
Aussie at the junction
