Concussion subs? - It's a no brainer.






all my own work

 

[deadleyledley]

Why not now?

 

[ryuzakiluke100]

Good.

Need to expand the bench too. Allowing more subs, but limited selection would still be an issue.

 

[PointToPatrik]

A step in the right direction.

Now waiting for which manager tries to use this to their advantage first.

 

[yes]

About time.

It's obviously going to be taken advantage of in certain scenarios. All a club has to instruct their player has to say is "I don't know where I am." or "I feel dizzy/sick." and they'll be taken off. Shame that there are scumbags out there who will do it but it'll protect players who genuinely get concussed.

Got my head in the wrong position playing rugby when I was younger. Took a knee of a 20 stone prop to the temple and came round face down in the dirt with everyone the other side of the pitch. Physio ran over, got the magic sponge out and told me to carry on for the last 20. Started vomiting after the game so my dad took me to A&E who said I had a really bad case of concussion.

How times have changed.

I'd like it call the Vertonghen rule just because he was really cool and secondly because it most certainly prevents the return of Eriksen...

 

[Go on son]

Watch this rule been abused. A lot of last minute 'concussions' to get another sub on if youve already used 3

 

[Totti]

Yeah, I can definitely see a few teams using this to their advantage.

 

[Johnboy40]

gonna have to have an independent Dr at every game..preferably a neurologist

Did anyone see the state of Dave Watson and his brain damage, probably due to to heading a football?
I know three local players with dementia and all three were centre backs playing Saturday and Sunday each week.

Concussions, even small ones, are the devil.

One of my brothers had to stop playing hockey when he was 22 because of concussions. He's about to turn 30 now and is only just now able to start working out in any form of serious way without dizziness spells.

They need to radically reduce youth players heading a ball. So restricted to 17 years as well.
