How Many Trainers Does It Take To Stop A Nosebleed?

[Rudolf Hucker]

I remember when one single, solitary trainer would run onto the pitch to attend to an injured player. Ah the memories. Seems only like last season ... in fact, it was last season.

Yesterday, what seemed like the entire cast of "Casualty" sprinted on to tend to Sproule after he had been decked by the Wednesday left-back. Presumably they were a trainer, Sproule's agent and finally, a no-win-no-fee personal injury lawyer?

Perhaps the one who forgot to bring on his bag and then had to run back off to get it was on work experience?

Does anyone know what the roles of these people are really meant to be and is there any maximum limit set or can we expect to see a veritable pitch invasion occuring in future every time someone gets a kick on the ankle? And when did this annoying Johnny-foreigner trend start?

Or perhaps they couldnt see from the far side of the pitch the extent his injuries, and preferred to play it safe knowing it was a head injury of some description?

I thought this was going to be a joke.

I am very disappointed it is not.

Can anyone think of a punchline? Tovey? Where are you?

I'm doing the dishes and I can't come out to play - sorry.

The Wednesday left-back lowered his shoulder into the on coming Sproule's chest. Sproule looked to be badly winded to me. A nasty challenge more typical of rugby than football. The Wednesday player was very lucky not to get sent off for that challenge.

It took thousands of Reebok's to stop the nosebleeds when Bolton were in the top 6.

I thought sproule had a serious injury with the neck brace etc they brought on, i couldnt see what they were doing was sat in the atyeo, next thing spoule just jumps up and is fine, maybe the physio has magical powers

[CiderJar]

I think he was just badly winded. It takes a long time to recover but once you get your breath back you are usually fine. The thug should have been sent off. The whole of Edinburgh was concerned judging from the texts received from the Edinburgh Bristol City Supporters Club Hibby Branch.

Thanks for the punchline chesh, it'll do since greenun doesn't want to play now he is a BCST member and budding journalist.
