Guy got injured in the tackle... Twisted knee... Blew up straight away as he shouted... Couldn't move it... Finally was moved off the field... School had no stretcher and no emergency vehicle access, although in fairness, it was a club's pitch (with regards to emergency access)... Ambulance called, Fast response car (quickly, in fairness) turned up, but no strecher, and could not get it on the field due to a lot of standing water on the grass around the pitch (although the pitch was 100% fine and playable)... A parent with a 4x4 then offered to bring it on to the field to get the boy out of the pissing down rain, he was then helped in to the boot of the 4x4 and taken around to the school building, where he was then dealt with (inside) by the paramedic, although he couldn't do much until the ambulance turned up... Paramedic said most likely only a bad knee wrench but needed to check out everything else in case. I was useless and couldn't do anything to help by this point so wished the boy well and left. On my way home, saw what I presume would have been the ambulance going towards the school, about 10 mins. away from the school... Saw this ambulance 45 minutes after the first call to the ambulance service was made...
Anyway, thoughts are with the boy for a speedy recovery... Not a nice thing to experience, especially in that kind of attrocious weather like today.
