#6 Les Dodd – Fractured Arm (MNG) #9 Steve Davis – Smashed Knee (NI)
“Oh, I have a confession to make: when I'm 2-0 down deep in the second half, my secret weapons have only really damaged my own team, ten of my players have been stretchered off the field and my trolls seem locked in a torpor of permanent imbecility, my mind wanders off a bit and I don't give the game the full 17% of my attention that is usually the case. Otherwise I think I could have hung in there and managed to scrape a hard-fought 2-0 thumping. So I apologise to purists for my lack of commitment.
(Still rather mystified by the foul on a Goblin which had no tactical value whatsoever, but I suppose some coaches just enjoy fouling on principle.)”
