    Reason I ask is a ref was stretchered off after being hit in the face by the corner flag during a collision during the Brum-Wigan match today.

    I happened to catch the end of the match and saw it happen, and for the life of me I have no idea how that would make a man go down like he was shot, much less need to be stretchered off. And no, neither Ridgewell nor McCarthy made contact with him.

    No video, but here's an article and pic:

    Classy fans laughing in the background. "Pole-axed" is quite clever though
