New "concussion rules" for the PL season:

• A player suffering a head injury must now leave the pitch.
• Team managers or coaching staff will no longer decide if a player continues to play and the final decision will be with the club doctor.
• Home teams in the Premier League must now have a third "tunnel" doctor on match-days to support the work of the doctors for both sides.
• The "tunnel" doctor will serve as an extra pair of eyes to spot potential concussions and watch TV replays to see the severity of incidents.

The third doctor should should be the one making the decisions, there were several times in the world cup when the team doctors didn't have the balls to pull the players off.

They should really introduce a rule for an "emergency" substitution where if a player is concussed after all the subs are made that the club can make a 4th substitution or bring back a player already taken off.

I think they went with the top 8 from last season, no?

edit: nop

West Ham replaced Liverpool.

Liverpool running scared of SAFC u21s with Mika Mandron, the Scottish Drogba.

I know, hence the wording of my post

I knew you were being sarcastic lol. Just making sure people know it's fake anyway.

Look at Messi's new shit haircut.

This. The club pays the team doctor's wages so it would be hard for him/her to be impartial.

Someone should have sent him a link to the SS undercut thread.

It looks like Pique has told him it's shit and Messi is livid. LIVID.

Would that really be fair? How is it any different to any other injury that forces a player off?

That's not a very good angle for him.

Kim Jong Il pulls it off better.

Lookit all that lube...

That's not a very good angle for him.

Because a concussed player is still able to play, and the players themselves often want to stay on. If a club is defending a 1-0 lead with 10 minutes to go and all substitutions used then that doctor will be getting pressured by the player and the coach to ensure he can play on.

Pereira knocked out I am still amazed he was allowed to play. He was out cold and the doctor signalled for a sub but Pereira overruled him.

Already preparing for that jail look.

I think that is a really sound idea. It is going to be too easy still for the game to take priority over the player's immediate health needs. If a head injury is ruled a concussion or concussion risk, it should be a free sub.

- Blackpool gonna get Joe Lewis on loan. Great keeper in my book, top signing.
- Leeds chasing Nicky Ajose (lol- couldn't get a game for posh) and Mustapha Yatabare who I signed on my city FM game. I'm sure he can't wait to play under David Hockaday
- Leicester still chasing Troy Deeney it seems. Dunno about that, think he might be a Beckford/Graham and only good at Champ level. We'll see
- We signed Mo Shariff/Ben Williams. Already working on the who shot the Shariff chant
- Wigan want Tonev from Villa. Finally found his level

[Salazar]

How was this not always the rule.

Aye.

Gets me properly fucking angry when people involved with sport don't take head injuries seriously.

 

[Barzul]

Seeing Khedira's injury problems have me worried. i read he has missed 56 games over the last four years. I don't mind paying the 20-25 million for him, but the 150k wages are the real worry.



I always feel that the defending champs are the favourites until beaten, but Chelsea seem ridiculous to me. The one glaring weakness in their squad has been addressed with Costa, and they have added Fabregas who is one of the top 5 creators of the last 10 years.

I think this Chelsea side could be unstoppable, and with Mourinho's tactics they could even go undefeated.

Spoiler

So with my track record this means they will be finished 6th.

Greatest gaming experience of my life. Absolutely perfect gameplay for me, and the attention to detail was way beyond anything else around at that time IMO.

His injury record is worrying.

 

[dc89]

Messi looks stupid.

 

[Infernostew]

United will win every match. Bribed club doctors everywhere.

We don't have the money... oil/Russian mob money might be accepted though.

But you gave away your position! Then you died. Dean pls.

Saw Dean killing two guys.

What a legend.

Vergini next. Then someone for that bastard left wing and we should be ok for kick off.

And 40 of these missed games were due to his last injury. Sure, that counts as well, but it doesn't look like he'll do a Badstuber and get another ACL rupture.

~20 missed matches in 3 years is rather good I'd say.

Well that puts things in perspective. Kinda like when Ramsey missed a whole season due to his leg break.

 

[Freewheelin']

Dat 4-3 comeback.

Edit: Lol, that was stupid :/

 

[tri_willy]

liverpoolGAF, i know we need an LB, RB and a striker... however, would you consider getting xabi back???

Ok, you have slightly reassured my nerves. I will give Wenger the go ahead.

he wont be leaving till atleast next season, the rumor of him being available is nonsense originating from El Confidencial

OT seems to be turning into the Comic Book thread. every second thread seems to be comic book related.

With that being said, seeing all the good praise GOTG is getting from FootyGaf i will go see it in about an hour, despite my hatred for Chris Pratt

Spoiler

What an appropriate name.

 

[johnthequad]

Madrid have signed three of the Top 10 players in this past World Cup. Has any other club in history done that?

 

[Hixx]

£7m for J-Rod. Alreeeeet that, like.

Fabio Borini favourited @SunderlandAFC's confirmation of Jack Rodwell's signing.

Fabio Borini is the new Robbie Keane. Fuck sake.
