Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"So a load of newspaper articles that clearly didn't pick up on the official club statement are more reliable than the official club statement which categorically states that a specialist had confirmed he HADN'T fractured his eye socket?'"
You mean the ones that received the official press release rather than an unofficial website statement? BIG difference.
Quote FearTheVeeDo you know many other players who play the week after fracturing their eye socket? Got a link to Wakefield admitting they got it wrong in the original statement?'"
Try ringing them up. I did. They happily confirmed it was wrong.
Quote FearTheVeeNone of the links you provide have Wakefield saying he fractured his eye socket, my link categorically has them stating he didn't
'"
How about the article BY JAMES STOSIC HIMSELF? Forget that one?
Quote FearTheVeeBottom line is Wakey cried wolf to get KC banned, then backtracked because there was nothing wrong with Stosic and made out like he's some sort of hero for soldiering on to save face.'"
Bottom line is, a press release is much more reliable than a hurried statement on a website, and that is what the press would have written their reports from.
But then does it really matter whether Stosic was injured or not? Cunningham still punched him in the face like a thug. You can't argue that particular fact.
