Cant shepperd anymore?
Yeah when it's necessary, 10 metres off the ball when it's out of bounds is hardly necessary. Just my opinion, didn't bother me if he got done or not we still won the game.
This says it all really, dont try to make more out of it that it is.
But the match review panel today ruled the clash of heads was accidental and Thomas is free to play next weekend.
The panel ruled that despite making contact several metres off the ball, Thomas did not leave the ground and made contact to Reid's body with his shoulder and body.
The clash of heads which injured Reid was deemed to be "caused by circumstances outside the control of the player, which couldn't be reasonably foreseen."
As I said last time it doesn't bother me, couldn't care either way.
