Question about the bombardier

By kinor, in Blood Bowl: Team Manager

The text reads : "after this player successfully tackles an opposing player, roll one dice for each standing player (from both teams) at this matchup".

Is the bombardier included as one of theses standing players ?

I don't think so but i would like to get a clear answer.

Is the Bombardier standing? Yes. Why would he be excluded? It's a bomb, it doesn't discriminate.

Because when Bomber dribblesnot successfully tackles an opposing player, he chooses a standing player to become downed, and no risks for himself, so i was asking myself this question.

Bomber is a Star Player, of course he should have better abilities. For a run of the mill Bombardier, risk-reward like that comes with playing Goblins, sometimes you might knock down all opponents, sometimes you only knock down your own players with the bomb.

Dam is correct I believe.

Bombardiers blowing themselves up is a relatively common occurence on the tabletop game and so in theme with the goblin team mindset that i am pretty certain of that interpretation. The bomb ability is great in team manager, so it has a downside to balance it out by being unreliable :)
