Taking the "alledged" injuries aside, there was nothing in that at all.

I fractured my left eye socket making a tackle in amateur years ago. It was in the last quarter of the game. It just felt like I'd got a shiner it hurt no more or no less so I saw out the rest of the game. It was only when I got in the changing rooms, looked in the mirror and touch the area, that I realised it was a bit more serious.

No its not, plenty of people dont know they have injuries at the time they do them.

I work with a woman who broke her neck falling off a horse, and didnt know she had done it, until weeks later after she passed out, for no apparent reason.

A player can get a bang to a face and it goes a bit numb, but think nothing of it, only later after the match or following a further knock can a player notice the injury.

James Roby for example broke his hand on friday but didnt stop playing.He proably only noticed the injury after the match was over and the adreneline had left his system.

Maybe Long had one before the newton incident then...

So you can lash out but not intend to hit their eye and get away with it? im not having that.
I usually stick up for the disciplinary, I think they take a lot of unfair stick but in this case, they have no defence..poor verdict, should have been 2/3 games.

Players lash out in the tackle all the time, his was a bit more serious so he got a caution. If he does it again that'll count against him.

Justice at work.

The suggestion that Stosic already had the injury and did'nt know is laughable.

Far from it. Adrenalin can hide injury.

I broke my elbow after falling onto concrete whilst chasing a burglar. It was only 30 or so minutes later when I was being interviewed by the Police I realised that I could no longer bend my arm. I went to Whiston and they confirmed a double fracture.

So, basically, Stosic is a big tart?
