why did you type claret instead of blood?

It squirted out very fast when they showed the slo-mo, too! Bet he had a few stitches. What annoyed me was the man with the towel just kept dabbing at it instead of applying pressure whilst it spurted everywhere...

Looks like quite young claret. more of a new world Zinfandel, Malbec or Carmenere really

We didnt really see on the telly but it strikes me as thd sort of injury a boxing corner would attend to with an ear bud and a bit of vas

I don't recall ever seeing 'claret' used for blood in 25 years of watching and reading about football; is it a rugby thing?

I didn’t know it was a sport thing, but it is a very well known euphemism for blood.

Claret is more of a The Sweeney thing no? 

“Get your strides on son, you’re nicked, and no funny business or you’ll be leaking claret like wet Wednesday in Margate” or something
