No, I think he's on to a good idea here. Lets go round the hospital and discharge everybody who 'feels right in themselves'. That'll be just about every psychiatric bed freed up. And as for all the money we waste spending years to train doctors up to give advice to the largely ignorant general public on health issues, well we can save that and spend the money on extra graveyards and crematoriums to dispose of the people who were actually seriously ill, but 'felt right in themselves'.

And wouldn't hospital ward rounds, GP services and hospital clinics benefit from the new health directives.

"Ah, hello Mrs Miggins, and how are you feeling today after your neuro surgery yesterday?"
"Well I feel alright in myself doctor"
"Ok, off you pop then"

 

Wouldn't you want your nearest and dearest to get checked at the hospital if they had suffered concussion or would you tell them to chance it ?

Didn't think it would take long.

So what Morgan did is just part of the game ?

 

I think the referee should get condemed a little too, he should have insisted on Lloris been removed from the game and if he refused send him off.

As for the how many footballers have died through head injuries, none straight away, but many have died after there carrers have finished, with severe brain problems.
I think one of our own Stevie Cooper died of that.Through years and years of bangs and hits to the head maybe.

 

Not wrong there. World Wrestling Entertainment especially have got really strict with head injuries. Since back when Chris Benoit killed his wife and kid, then himself and they said his brain was that of someone in their 90s (probably due to his diving headbutt off the top rope signature move he'd have performed easily a couple of thousand times in his career), Vince Mcmahon puts people on the injured list straight away. The last one being other sunday when Curtis Axel was due to be on the pay per view and had to be removed. Christopher Nowinski does alot for brain work too.....

I think you're on your own with this one, mate. Not a single person backing you up.

 

John Thompson

Re: John Thompson

never knew anyone who was named after a date!

come out now that he wasn't/isn't concussed, so surely it's irrelevant? i don't care either way, but we all moan at players for feigning injury and stopping the game, yet we get on at them when they're genuinely injured and battle on?

 

Re: John Thompson

Not irrelevant at all. He was knocked unconscious so they shouldn't have taken the risk. You won't find one neurosurgeon in the country who would have sanctioned him going back on. The neurosurgeon who I thank for saving my life was the guy who saved Michael Watson's life and he went on to be the figurehead in making a lot of changes to the way boxers are looked after and many boxers have those changes to thank for keeping them alive, not least Paul Ingle and Spencer Oliver. Footballers and managers have always been suspicious of the opinion of anyone who wasn't a professional footballer themselves, but I think a few words from a neurosurgeon may be needed to sharpen them up a little bit. Maybe if they explain to the clubs what their financial liability would be if they allowed a player to play on who subsequently dropped dead they may listen, as they only seem to understand discussions in terms of money!

 

Of course I am, but then again im not a member of the 'clique'

 

You're not but you're talking more garbage than any clique ever could in this thread.

 

Don't be silly, if I was a member of the 'gang' who arse lick and meet up in the number 7 then 'my online mate' would back me up...

 

Is the reason you post on here in the evening due to the fact you are not allowed out after dark ?

 

Its still relevant as at the time they didn't know if he had suffered concussion which if he had done and battled on as you say, it could have had serious repercussions. Head injuries can cause brain damage and also death so its a little different to having an open wound and battling on.

 

Didn't Curtis Axel (worst name EVER) injure his hip? If it had been concussion he'd have been pulled straight away not on the day of the match.

 

That was my first thought as well. I find it astonishing that CricketJim asked that question considering a player died as a result of a concussion at OAKWELL of all places.

 

Bloody hell was you around then? You ask all the people who attend Oakwell and I guarantee 95% haven't heard of the name
