Richard Dunne went off injured with a 'dead arse' according to one of his #avfc teammates

Timothy Abraham has clarified that it was James Collins who told this to the media and that it was, in fact, a dead leg of sorts. I like Tim and all, but this time I think he's gotten it wrong. We all really know what happened. There had to have been some sort of a wig malfunction. Too much powder, perhaps?
