I shouldn't be surprised, it's the bbs. I've returned to the thread and wish I'd never bothered. You can lead a horse to water..
But the horse was hit in the legs by Schopp wielding a baseball bat, and Benson's pissed in the water...
Can we just say that this has been cleared up? Hope Josh is OK can be back in training as soon as is safe to do so. I think our bad luck this season in terms of injuries / illness / visa issues, etc is in sharp contrast to last season, when we were fairly fortunate with all these. Our squad is so weakened at the moment it will take a colossal effort to pick up points in the next few games. That said there is a lot of the season left & we have more points on the board than we had last season at the moment. The plus side is that fringe players can get a chance to shine I guess, but it's hardly ideal. Morris & Mads are the biggest misses, two key players, but all the others out are a big loss too.
It's already been said by @TitusMagee but how mental is it that 1) These rumours start by people basically telling lies, and the fan base* lap it up 2) When the rumour is put to bed, with a pretty fair explanation, the fan base* still complain *For fan base read extremely vocal minority
In the absence of information people make it up. I don't mean the club should have said anything, in fact as its private medical info it's not the place of the club to do so. But people will make stuff up to fill the absence of news.
Worth reposting this as hopefully the people still banging on about it might read it a second time. To summarise: They couldn’t put ‘“illness” as at the point it hadn’t been confirmed with the second PCR, so they didn’t t know if he was definitely ill. Secondly Josh hadn’t given permission. It’s not difficult to grasp FFS.
