Luiz head must have been damaged in the collision. Shortly afterwards, he thought he could take a free kick. He can't.

Haha. This is also one of my monday breakfast occasional treats, not specific to our own glorious triumphs over them (!) but any time they record a particularly miserable result.
I think this reflects badly on me. As does waiting for this morning's arsecast extra podcast to drop...(actually, i even sometimes listen to this when they win, as it's a decent listen, and they get tragically (and briefly, obvs) optimistic when they win).
Also, I'm already rationalising this evening's limp surrender 7 hours early...

Is that the same Alan Shearer as this one?
Yeah, head injuries must be taken seriously, Alan.

There is also that Spurs fan that does some webcast thingy, starts off cocky and ends up distraught! Cracks me up!?
Yeah a win today and we are 5th! But generally when we get an opportunity to reach dizzy heights we slip and fall on our face trying to get there. So am expecting a drubbing! ?

That’s the fella.
He must have got red for that even before VAR.
But???
Have you matured as you got older?
All three of them on motd spoke a lot of sense. Imo of course.

Carneiro and chief physiotherapist Jon Fearn were the subject of criticism from Mourinho after the first game of the 2015–16 season: Chelsea were playing Swansea City at Stamford Bridge.[15]According to Mourinho, she and Fearn rushed onto the pitch to attend to Eden Hazard when he felt the injury was not of a serious nature. He was further annoyed because this meant that Chelsea, having already had a player sent-off during the match, were temporarily left with eight outfield players. Under the Laws of the Game, medical staff are not allowed onto the field without the referee's permission, but have a duty to tend to an injured player when summoned. Carneiro and Fearn were twice summoned onto the field by referee Michael Oliver. Carneiro's view that she was simply doing her job has been fully supported by FIFA and its medical chairman Michel D’Hooghe.
And I agree that there needs to be a very clear protocol.
The issue here is that, almost without exception, club medics will have a vested interest in keeping a key player on the pitch. If Bruno Fernandes took a blow to the head like Luiz yesterday the United medics are going to be reluctant to involve themselves in a decision to take him off. Same goes for so many others.
If there is a clear protocol in place which takes the decision away from anyone attached to a football club, then everyone knows the position. Are independent medics involved in on-field decisions like this? I don’t know.
I too have suffered a concussion, like many here, and I didn’t actually feel the effects until some time after I took a cricket ball to the head. I really don’t understand, given what happens in other sports, why it is that football still doesn’t seem to have got its act together.

Bloody Nora.
In all fairness, times have changed since then. I remember even as a teenager playing rugby in the early 2000's, a concussion was smelling salts and back you go.

It’s clear Imo that Luiz should have gone off - that cut to the head could have been a lot more severe and you only have to look at what has happened to Jiminez. There have been far too many incidents in football - the minute Luiz was down along with Jiminez the substitute should have happened and then checks done on both players - their welfare comes first.

Says a lot of good stuff
Also said about the penalty
Robertson: "I've got no problem if my tackle is being given as a pen. But on Sunday I saw two challenges on Rashford and Traore that were very similar and weren't given. We are just looking for consistency. We thought we'd get that with VAR and we aren't right."

Just had a look at the Penalty, it’s no different to the Masuaku one on Salah, (apart from one threw theirselves to the floor and Welbeck tried to carry on) and you got that dodgy one so I can’t see what he is complaining about.

Not daring to dream yet. We'll find a way to lose 3-2

I don’t even think he was booked for that! Ref missed it, he then wasn’t charged by the fa after because they didn’t think did it deliberately. (I’m sure about then or villa sending off, he threatened intl retirement).
Only two sendings off in his career I believe and one he actually didn’t deserve.

Confirmed fractured skull for Raul. Couldn't care less if he plays again, just hope he can enjoy a normal life with his family. Most important thing.

Welbeck also threw himself to the floor
Watch him here
He isn’t complaining about being a penalty it’s more the consistency- as he stated two other examples that should have been given
The FA and FIFA are not fit for purpose in terms of player safety and players are just seem and a disposable commodity. I think the Arsenal medical staff were wrong to let Ruiz stay on the pitch given the ferocity of the collision. There needs to be a protocol that is stuck to and as soon as a head injury is serious enough to warrant the intervention of the club doctor that player should be withdrawn and a "head" sub can come on without taking from the usual number of subs allowed. Even if the player isn't showing any symptoms there is nothing to say these won't manifest later. It has to be handled far more sympathetically and players welfare taken care of. Hopefully Jimenez will be ok and able to return to football at some point in the future
