Yea, and hopefully he doesn't have to retire like Ryan Mason did. He will certainly be out for a long time. Maybe he'll be able to return with a Petr Cech style hat at some point.wow, Jiminez has a fractured skull and had to have surgery last nightlets hope he makes a full recovery
Because the same ref called the ref to have a look at the Robertson one on Wellbeck.Why did you say it like that? Surely that's always been a foul? You stand on someone's foot and trip them up in the box that's a penalty 100 times out of 100 isn't it?
I realise that. My point is that it really is time that football caught up with other sports.
How hard did their heads clash? Enough to do Jimenez some serious damage. How did the damage happen? From Luiz's head. It doesn't take a lot of putting together to judge that Luiz has taken a hefty crack as well. For his own safety he should have been off the pitch, having a scan, game over. Head injuries need to be looked at in a different way to a knock on the ankle.
Only have to listen to Shearer on motd .
The Welbeck one wasn't the same incident. Robertson at least made some contact with the ball during his challenge. With Traore, he went straight past Gabriel, who was beaten all ends up and then stands on his foot trying to make a challenge. I think it was an absolute stonewall penalty, personally. Traore would have kept the ball in and been firing it across the goal. I have absolutely no idea why it wasn't reviewed and a penalty awarded. Probably some nonsense like the yellow card he gave him for 'diving' meant that it couldn't be reviewed because they don't review yellow cards maybe? You know how they like to tie their own hands with their stupid rules around it.
Spot on .
I was definitely surprised he played on, but there's not been anything after the game to suggest it was the wrong decision. Perhaps they just got lucky and it shouldn't be left to luck - I get what you're saying. I think with the incident, Luiz basically smashed the side of Raul's head with his own forehead, which is why Raul came off a lot worse. He headed his head like a football basically.
Clumsy ***!

That is the key thing for me. Football is still in the mindset of 'the player says they are okay so that is enough'. The doctor is a club doctor, under pressure to get the player back out again. It should be taken out of their hands.I was definitely surprised he played on, but there's not been anything after the game to suggest it was the wrong decision.

What I meant was, maybe they got lucky, but maybe they didn't - maybe the checks were perfectly adequate and he really was able to carry on. I don't know enough about it. If they changed the rules to something like @MetalMickie suggested - allowing players to be temporarily subbed off for genuine head injuries, giving them a good 10-15 minutes to be assessed, that might be a good place to start. Obviously it wouldn't count as one of your subs.That is the key thing for me. Football is still in the mindset of 'the player says they are okay so that is enough'.

Your last point, that's just him isn't it
That was the technicality she won her case on but the issue was Jose blowing his top at her actions.
I thought it was and he wanted the player to stay on .
Yes seen it a couple of times.
Where’s he left his clubs.?Paul DJ or Homer will know what they done 20 years ago, when refs used to dress like this:-
