I have just read the list of non combatants. Unbeliveable, Collins did he come back too early? Cardwell will he ever play? fox seems permanently injured., likewise Cook. How does Macca allow a bite to be infected to such an extent he cannot play ? All this despite a whole team of back room staff including fitness specialists.

I got bit once while at training, I woke up the next day I had a third calf muscle you could fry an egg on and I could hardly walk on it, it easily happens.

I know someone who ended up in hospital for 4 days and could have died from sepsis from an infected insect bite.  It happens.

The comment regards Macca was that playing was a risk not worth taking and I'm sure he's fit enough for league action.

We do seem to have a lot of muscle injuries and the question has to be asked, why?

I would take most of the injury list as a smoke screen as to why MJ fielded the team he did on Tuesday...Think even he's now sussed out it's not worth putting out players who, if injured, would unsettle what's been  pretty much the starting 11 he envisages as his "best".and certainly not in the chuckatwat trophy....

I had a recent horsefly bite that became infected, swolen etc and was very very painful. Needed antibiotics.

We do seem to have a very long list though and it is a concern if taken at face value. Fox, Cook and Cardwell do seem 'injury prone'.

Apparently it was Tom Pope who bit Macca.  ;)

I was worried about bites when Louis Soares was in the team a few years back.

It's amazing how many people connected with this board seem to have had infected insect bites. My lad did about 4 years ago. Entailed a stay in hospital with an antibiotic drip and he's still got the scar where the infected tissue was.

Heard of a lot of people being taken very badly from horse fly bites recently.

The injury cover up theory for Chuckatrade could be legit as heavy fines dished out for fielding weakened sides.

I had insect bites last month and ended up having 4 doses of antibiotics introvenously

I had a horse fly bite on my head and ended up in hospital on AV drip.

Blimey insect bite epidemic. Get well soon Macca

I got bitten twice by horseflies while out walking in Scotland in the summer. You know when you have been bitten by one and they draw blood. I didn't suffer any after effects however.

You lot must have dicky blood or summat.  :P

Glad it's not just me that got bitten by one (I watched it on my calf...) and sodomist all happened. I was gonna keep my head below the parapet but yeah, you're all snowflakes...  ;) ;)

I was stung by a wasp once
It smarted a little and wore off after 20 minutes

I was stung by a bee only last week.


Charged me  £12.00 for a jar of honey. !!

The worst bite injuries I’ve seen on footballers were all done by Luis Suarez.

I got stung by a swarm of wasps last month-they all died.  Easy to tell the men from the wimps in this thread.

Shouldn't go to those farmers' markets.

Perhaps it was Manuka.

Talking of wasps, took a class of 7 and 8 year olds for an autumn walk through the local fields and a sword of wasps attacked.. 1 teacher got 2 stings, 3 children got stunk once and 1 poor girl got stunk 7 times!

indeed. I can’t imagine getting stunk by a sword of wasps.
No, seriously, I can’t 😉

Max Wright is on the injury list too. Didn't play for Boston yesterday as he has an infected blister in his heel, sustained at Cheapside!
