Kanj Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The ref can’t determine if someone is concussed he’s no bloody doctor. He can suggest “hey have a look” im sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So apparently it depends if a concussion was confirmed. If it was he'll miss Saturday, if we took him off as a precaution and no concussion was confirmed he'll be fine to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Just now, danny said: What happened to him? Must have missed i....... wasnt pissed asleep on the sofa Think the first injury happened when So'ton had a free kick and he was in the wall, and think it hit in in the face, or he got clattered in the head. Then he went down few minutes later again, still with effects of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Surely he shouldn't play regardless? I know it's completely different given the hits they take, but read up on Tua Tagovailoa in the NFL. Scary shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Is there no concussion protocol in the PL? I know in the NBA concussion lasts until you can pass the tests required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 There is a concussion protocol, but it only applies if a concussion is diagnosed. It'll depend on the post-match assessment you'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 At the time I just assumed he was doing it to wind the clock down, we evaporated about 20 minutes of play when we went down to 10 One of those games people see live on Sky and claim we do it every week from the the first whistle.

gbandit Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 He did get absolutely laced in the head around the temple, wouldn’t be that surprised if he was ruled out because of the protocol. Hope not but at least it’s putting the players’ well-being first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Imagine the club will know either way by now. We probably won't get an idea till Howe's press conference. Unlike normal injuries it's not one he can play close to the chest. Either he has a concussion, and therefore the protocol keeps him out of Saturday, or he doesn't in which case he's available. My own take is, it's a positive sign we was allowed to walk around the pitch at the end. Concussions are treated as serious business (rightfully) these days, I feel if the medical staff thought there was a chance he was concussed they'd have had in the training room.

If there was no loss/clouding of consciousness I imagine it is these assessments which will determine whether or not he was concussed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petenufc1985 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 NUFC.com seem to think he won't be available, can't we just pretend he came off for another reason? Hopefully we get round it somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 He was spotted in the rvi getting a ct scan so can rule that out I think 4 minutes ago, petenufc1985 said: NUFC.com seem to think he won't be available, can't we just pretend he came off for another reason?

Pata Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I’m a concussion ultra but can’t see him playing on Saturday. It just simply comes too quickly and I’m glad there’s at least some attempt to be serious about them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like someone earlier said, can't be the ref as he's not a doctor. Our doctor? Just don't declare anything and see how he is. Dunno who actually makes the final decision.

Miercoles Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Have to give him some credit for an absolutely heroic block there. How many times do we see players in the wall ducking out of the way of shots? Constant pet peeve, but I guess this is why. Looked like a nasty free kick too if he doesn't block it. Good lad, Zach.

BonesJones Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 To me it looked like someone taking a clean hook from Mike Tyson. He was turning his head as it hit him, which then twisted it even further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Yeah that's what makes it such a good block he actually moves his head to get onto it, unfortunately that also put him side-on to the impact which makes it so much more damaging.
