My son's a goalie, so he rarely has scratches..just bruises up and down his legs. Poke checking, turf burns, and getting scratched with the head of a defensemen's stick are surely could lead to all kinds of marks--especially for a midfielder like Seligmann. I agree the scratches shouldn't be deep, but after 10 days how visible would Press on nail (or any fingernail) scratch be?
But it doesn't matter, according to Nifong, they put on their raping jackets first (sarc).
