Saints1980 Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 His loan agreement ended on the 13th December? Why was this on the OS just before the Reading game? "On-loan striker Jordan Robertson is unlikely to be available following his involvement in a minor car accident over Christmas". Hardly a minor accident either.

Saints' coach set to make changes 6:00am Saturday 27th December 2008 Comments (51) Have your say » By Adam Leitch » JORDAN Robertson is likely to be sidelined for tomorrow’s match with Reading after being involved in a car crash on Christmas day. The on loan striker was in a car on the M1 when the incident occurred. CLICK HERE TO READ ABOUT SAINTS AGM Though he is understood to have just suffered some bruising the incident has understandably left him shaken up and Poortvliet had to reshuffle his team in the wake of the news and an ankle injury sustained by Adam Lallana in Christmas day training.

"On-loan striker Jordan Robertson is unlikely to be available following his involvement in a minor car accident over Christmas". Hardly a minor accident either. Yet more economies of truth on the OS? Either his contract ended on 13th or it didn't....and thus he was either available for selection or back at Sheff Utd. What's wrong with telling us the truth once in a while? (p.s. the Daily Mail article also suggests that Dyer is back when it says that Robertson is back at Sheff Utd and that the 'player swap deal' with Saints terminated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordswoodsaints Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 would they have extended his loan if he hadnt had the accident? but the most important thing is a man has lost his life and has left 5 kids,if jordan is guilty he should be punished.

sadoldgit Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 We all do things we shouldn't when driving and fortunately 99.5% of the time there are no repercussions. Fiddling with an ipod is not different to fiddling with a moble phone though and the outcome was tragic, not just a "minor" occurance. It was a bit like the crash that Channon was involved in and was reported as "minor". How can any RTA be classed as minor when someone losses their life?

Not just you - the man didn't die until the following day, and he had been conscious, so there may have been no reason to assume his injuries were more serious than whiplash. It's a tragedy for everyone. We all do things that divert our attention from the road, drive when we're tired, angry etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 Also, in fariness to the OS, I suspect that story was published fairly early on boxing day. Mr Mohammed died on boxing day so, whilst "minor" is an unfortunate phrase to have used, I imagine the facts at the club's disposal were pretty shady at that time. They probably only had a call from Robertson saying he had a crash but wasn't hurt badly - it's not as though the poilice would have gone, "blimey, that's Jordan Robertson, he plays for Saints, we'd better give them a precis". EDIT - I see Soccermom has said virtually the same thing above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
