Quote: Jemmo "Carl was asked about injuries, for me he answered a different question to what he was asked. I understand the question was about who are the injured players and how long are they going to be out for. He answered saying he didn't want to go into detail of what players injuries are. I can understand not wanting to tell clubs that Player X has a bad knee or Player Y has a iffy spleen...but i don't think it's giving secrets away to say Player X is expected back in 3 weeks and Player Y has died. I'd have re-iterated the question if I was the presenter guy'"
Thank goodness it's not just me.
I think that they should err on the pessimistic with timescales and then it comes as a nice surprise when players return early.
Because continually saying that a player is a couple of weeks away and then saying it again and again in the case of Miller is infuriating and not fair on people paying at the gate ... when they find on entering the arena that half the basic team is absent.
I don't believe any of them anymore ... too much spin ... the article seldom matches the description of it.
