Jose’s ambulance comments provoke more reaction

JOSE MOURINHO’S claims that his seriously injured goalkeeper Petr Cech was kept waiting for an ambulance provoked further reaction yesterday.

The South Central Ambulance Service NHS Trust hit back at Mourinho’s comments, which they claim tarnish their reputation. The ambulance service insist they reacted quickly to provide Cech with the best possible treatment after he suffered a depressed fracture of his skull in a game at Reading’s Madejski Stadium on Saturday.

Mark Ainsworth, the Trust’s operations manager on duty at the match, tackled Mourinho’s chief concerns that it took 30 minutes to get Cech into the ambulance and that his keeper was forced to climb into a wheelchair to use a lift.
