What are the chances?

Scunthorpe lost both keepers to broken arms in the first half, what are the chances of that??

Having just read a Scunthorpe fans forum Bristol City's Matt Smith should have been sent off for the replacement keepers injury, will look out for it tonight, if it is as bad as they are saying then the FA have to do something retrospectively

Not that the Bristol City fans will acknowledge that.

I think two broken arms suggest further foul play! I wish both a speedy recovery.

They are a bit of a thugish team aren't they.  Who remembers that tackle against Liddle that meant his missed a large part of the season?

very very unlucky, well spotted @Northants Pie

Having seen the footage it does strike me that Matt Smith stands on the lads arm hence why he fell over, would like to see more conclusive video evidence before hanging my hat definitely

Seriously?

They had the nerve to complain that Swindon are dirty and cheats, I know they injured Liddle I recall the stupid challenge. If two keepers broke their arms and one is certainly as a direct result to one of the Bristol City players they should be fined and investigated. This is actually very serious in my opinion because this could have cost the two keepers their careers.

How does a keeper come back from having broken their arm? It's hard enough when you dislocate your shoulder!

I know because I did that playing in goal and I wouldn't dive after that point, despite knowing it was a freak accident. I know they're professionals but it's hard, just look at John Thompson he had to retire because of having been seriously injured and not being able to forget about it.

Watch the footage on iplayer and concentrate on Matt Smiths feet when the keeper comes out, that is in no way a continuation of his normal stride pattern, like you say if he has then he needs to be in big trouble

I will need to watch again, I missed it first time it looked ok, I will re-watch
