How does a Scottish footballer deal with a dislocated kneecap?
St Mirren WFC captain Jane O'Toole bashes her kneecap back into place before playing on for the remainder of the game.

This is some crazy shit right here. I can’t stop watching and I can’t stop flinching every time she goes to town on her own kneecap. I mean look at that thing. She legit lost her kneecap in her leg, does a casual somersault and immediately starts smackin’ that thing like an Italian grandma with a wooden spoon.
And when that doesn’t seem to be working, she takes it up a notch and proceeds to punch the hell out of it.
Her first reaction is, “oh damn let me do this myself, I ain’t got time for a doctor.”
My first reaction, on the other hand, would be, “oh my God I’m not going be able to walk for weeks, I hope I make it off the field alive”.
If I see my knee looking cross-eyed like that, and my team is down 6-0, I’m saying “eff this, you guys suck, look what you did to me, I’m out.”
This video makes me feel even worse remembering one time I knocked kneecaps with a kid in preseason in high school. It was the weirdest feeling ever, I thought my kneecap exploded. Of course, I was fine, I’m just a huge wuss bag who sat out for like 20 minutes after that. And if you’re wondering, no, Jane O’Toole did not sit out.
Instead, even though her team was losing 6-0, she got right back up and finished the game.
You’re a better person than me, Jane. And if you’re out there somewhere reading this, a signed number 12 St Mirren jersey would be appreciated.
