Minor things that make you happy


The art of stretcher-bearing continues to dumbfound medics after a less-than helpful duo sent an injured player crashing to ground in Israel, mirroring a similar incident in Greek football last October.

With an hour gone in Maccabi Herzliya’s second-tier meeting at home to Maccabi Ahi Nazareth, the visitor’s Moamen Saleh went to ground clutching his leg and a pair of eager medical assistants ran on to the field.

Saleh was loaded on to the foldout stretcher, but the lead carrier initially struggled to lift his cargo and momentarily dropped his handle before quickly catching it again, with the help of the team’s captain.

Seemingly stable, they began walking to the touchline when his colleague at the rear, wearing jeans and trainers, suddenly lost his grip dumping the player three feet to the floor. The medic was left holding only the black handles that had come away from the stretcher’s frame.

Saleh angrily threw the stretcher away before eventually being carried off in his captain’s arms, leaving the sheepish duo to fold up their equipment and walk away from the pitch – and presumably any future stretcher-based responsibilities.
