12 substitutes today on 10:05 - Dec 27 by SaintNick | It was a lot of substitutes, I am sure it must have happened before, but I can't remember it happening, |
It may well be the first time it's happened. One team is allowed to use 6 substitutes if they have a concussion-related injury, but I didn't know the other team was then also allowed to use 6 to balance things up. Perhaps we weren't. The announcer said, "West Ham's 6th substitute is....", but for our 6th, he only said the name. In future, if any of our players get injured after the 5th substitution has been made, the manager needs to tell them to go down clutching their head, even if they've broken their leg. Incidentally, Fabianski was fine as soon as he left the pitch. He didn't even need to go to hospital for a check-up. I've looked at the replay of the incident several times and he was definitely barged into Wood by his own player. So, there is no way Wood should have received a yellow card for so-called "serious foul play". I wonder if Wood had gone down instead of Fabianski, it might have been reviewed for a penalty by VAR?
