Just read about why Curle didn't disclose why Ibehre was out and, from what I can remember of the interview, he could have a point. Obviously it was a big talking point that he wasn't in the squad but the focus should still be on the game and how we played. Can imagine he was probably a bit annoyed in the post-match that we've drawn again so can see why he would be snappy as well.
Surely you just say he's got a knock so will missed the game - stops people talking about it?
Coming out of a frustrating game where we could've taken all 3 points (although also could've lost the match) I can see why Curle would want some positive attention on his players to try and keep up any sort of momentum. I don't think he was right to not say what was happening but if he was annoyed by the questions asked taking attention off any good performances I can see why he might make the rash mistake of trying to cover up what was up with Ibehre.
