Ok, last week you might have seen Sky Sports’ Jessica Kastrop getting pinged in the back of the head while reporting with Scholl at a Bundesliga game.
This week during Germany’s Euro 2012 qualifier it became apparent that Scholl has developed some post traumatic stress issues as he sees footballs whizzing towards him as soon as the cameras go live.
Incidentally, last night I read Malcolm Gladwell’s piece The Art of Failure in The Only Game in Town: sportswriting from the New Yorker – which I really recommend sportswriting nerds – in which he explains the nuanced difference between ‘choking’ and ‘panicking’.
It’s safe to say, Scholl is panicking.
