Start 'em Sit 'em » Serious injury suspected for Delaney
On a supremely hot Monday afternoon Start ‘em Sit em can reveal some distressing news: £8m man – and pivotal Alcuin central midfielder – Jake Delaney may not play again in this year’s College Cup.
Delaney was taken away in an ambulance from his six-a-side match earlier this afternoon to the visible distress of Alcuin captain Dan Cox, and campus desperately awaits news of the injury.
One source rumoured that Delaney may well have aggravated the cruciate knee ligament problems that inhibited the part-time Harrogate player’s start to university football last year. If this is the case, then it almost certainly cuts short his Cup as well dealing a heavy blow to the ambitions of the many managers that have made him the most picked midfielder in Fantasy Football.
Furthermore a serious injury would have significant effects on Alcuin Firsts’ challenge. The team relies heavily on Delaney’s goals, dominance in the air, and Michael Ballack-style distribution from the middle of the park – and there is no ready-made replacement hiding amongst the cocktails up on Campus North.
For the sake of football and, more importantly, Delaney’s health, Start ‘em Sit ‘em wishes him all the best and a speedy, painless recovery.

Yeh hope it isn’t too bad, never nice to see anyone getting seriously injured.
It’s tactical decisions like this that have got Alcuin seconds where they are in their group
Nothing written in this conversation has anything to do with me.
Good luck Jake!
not me either.
