Can't read that Blades board anymore.

Stopping me getting 'owt done I'm so busy pissing myself laughing. Their campaign to blame the Barnsley medical staff for Hume's injury seems to be gathering momentum. Actually, they should sue us, if truth be told, for all the mental anguish they've had to endure due to the criminal neglect of the club doctor. Obviously, if they'd done their job properly, Hume would have just had a mild headache and a touch of bruising. Shame on them for fracturing his skull.

 

And then there are those who try toimply that, as they were there and it didn't look that bad at the time, it can't have happened that way despite all the TV evidence to the contrary. 'Aye it does look bad from that angle', as if to say but that's not the angle that matters!

 

I just ignore the comments that suggest it was unintentional.

Because unfortunately for Morgan and his blinkered supporters, the evidence points entirely to the contrary. It's not even up for debate.

 

Immediately after if Hume reported no symptoms alluding to a serious injury then what else should have been done ? - just a smokescreen by the hard of thinking.</p>

However, it might be a decent idea in future that if anyone has to leave the field because of any head injury that they are automatically sent to hospital for further examination by specialists there.

Causing serious injury was most likely unintentional

Using foul play and violent conduct to stop an opponent from getting to the ball was most definetly intentional.

 

Yes, they could hold up play while they get a quick once-over at Barnsley General. Let me see....Oakwell to Pogmoor Rd and back, couple of hours, say, waiting in casualty......xrays.....job done. We should be getting out of Oakwell by about 9pm.

 

I meant if they had to be substituted. Fcking hell.

 

Is money so tight that JCR has to drive him to hospital?

Pretty sure the game can continue while a substituted player goes to hospital

 

If he was showing no symptoms he would have been sent home by A & E in much the same way and his family warned to be vigilant, as they were.

 

Sounds like the correct procedure was followed.

Iain would have been checked over by the Club Doctor and allowed to go home but told if he started to feel worse to go to hospital.

Fractures are not always picked up straight away especially if there is any soft tissue swelling around the area.

Let me guess, in your spare time, you also write 'My Family' for the BBC?

 

No. Why? nt

 

RE: Sounds like the correct procedure was followed.

All I can say is that I suffered a fractured skull playing football (not as bad as him like) and they did'nt keep me in just got the advice to go back straight away if I felt anything had changed for the worse.

 

Head injuries take time to emerge ....

I recall a friend having an accident sledging on snow - he hit a tree, but no one was sure what had happened. He was seemingly fine for the next 48 hours and then lapsed into a fit. It had taken all that time for the bleeding to swell up inside his skull and, in the end, it was also due to the way he lay in bed. And, yes, it nearly was fatal. Had he not woken, the fluid might not have drained away and he could easily have died. Sitting up, the fluid drained. Lying down, it didn't. He was a bright chap, but he suddenly started saying, "Oh! Oh!" over and over again and everyone thought he was being stupid until we saw that his eyes had gone up into the left part of his eyelid and we knew we had a serious crisis. He was hospitalised for three days and was brought back to full health by the amazing 4-4 draw between Liverpool and Everton. After that they discharged him from hospital for making too much noise!! Scary, though, as I imagine it would have been for Hume's family.

Even mild concussion is often delayed in its effects.
