The Bard Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 West Ham player just gone off covered in blood after a clash of heads but they can't use a concussion sub. Neither will they carry out a Head injury assessment. He went off and they hurriedly patched him up to come back on asap. Almost certainly didn't carry out a proper assessment of possible concussion as they wanted their player back on the pitch. Just read up about it and they will only do HIAs on the pitch. What a load of nonsense. Why not have a 10 minute maximum period where the concussion sub can be used before the original has to return or the substitution becomes permanent??

Football is so far behind the curve on this. I know rugby is currently getting some stick about its rules for contact with the head, but their protocols for dealing with potential head injuries are light years ahead of football. Repeated concussions can be very serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linesman raises the flag at the start and the injury doesn’t happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
