The Football.....

Having seen the truncated version which stopped immediately before, the full version the BBC showed was less of an impact than I was expecting. Wonder if there was an underlying undetected issue.

I suspect it is just extremely unlucky.
If you recall Phillip Hughes the Ozzy cricketer.
He was hit by a cricket ball which crushed the main artery to his head.
The guy that bowled the ball still plays and was supported by the cricketing family.
I hope the same happens to the keeper.

That was my take on it.

Indeed, albeit the bowler hadn't committed any "foul" it was just a regular bouncer bowled at Hughes. The chalenge from the keeper, albeit not malicious was in the *reckless camp and he got a red card.

*albeit nowhere near as reckless as Schumacher on Battison, which wasnt punished at all.

53 red cards. Apparently it kicked off a bit. They couldn't play the 2nd leg of the tie because at least one of the teams didn't have enough unsuspended players left.

Bournemouth remain unbeaten in Europe, another game in which they score three.

They've punched well above their weight since getting promoted. When they got promotion I was working on the new Hilton hotel in the town. There was a lot of pressure to get it built and open before the season started as the feeling was there wasn't much suitable hotel accommodation in the town for visiting Premier League teams (no idea how true that was or if the hotel gets used by visiting teams) but the consensus at the time was those teams wouldn't be visiting for long.
