Yes, hopefully all just precautionary.

But i was disgusted by a comment from a saints fan stood behind me. When Westerman was announced as the man of match the saints fan came out with 'well thats how good they played'. I am a member of WYP so i managed to keep myself calm, but had i not been i would have cracked the guy. I felt sick as a pig, especially with the latest incidents in RL.

You get idiots in every sport. Good to hear he's o.k and will be fit to fight another day.
M.O.M though?

Very frightening to see Joe in such a state

Get well soon

I thought Shenton had a good match. One of the only few who did though.

To be fair, I think there are a few players who certainly didn't disgrace themselves. Shenny was one of them. I think awarding Westy the MOM was a nice touch and a nice message of support.

Sounds similar to that famous youtube clip of the footballer who went up for a header and got a bang on the neck which denied oxygen to the brain and affected his nerves briefly, causing him to keep going for the header over and over and over again before they held him down. He played the following week and was completely fine.

Hope the hospital foods okay for you Joe, good luck with the (Hopefully short) recovery.

Heard about this on the radio hope the lads okay.
