It is a truth universally acknowledged that a football fan in possession of an away scarf in the home end, must be in want of a bust lip and a black eye.
Cov Tel article (update on the injury from Frank) confirms there was a dislocation and that it 'popped back in' again. No mention of it dislocating a second time, which I believe was what led people to think the injury might be more serious.
I never had any problems with the players we recruited. So it's fine if you feel the need to backtrack, but there's no need to apologise on everyone's behalf. Some of us coped a bit better with a few setbacks earlier in the season.
Ah yes I've seen that one now too. From the highlights, he's offside relative to Bidwell but it's impossible to say whether Kitching (slightly out of shot but deeper than Bidwell) is playing him on. Marginal either way.
