concussion protocols 'fail to prioritise safety'

[millertop]

It’s not just the clubs, I watched most of Leeds game and as soon as player went down you could see blood but ref casually walks over smiling only then realising medics need to be called.

He didn’t even have a word with the player who caused it which was clear to see imo

Anyway he was bandaged up but didn’t bother with temp sub and let him him straight back in only to be subbed after around 30 mins

Maybe be cleared by a doctor?

If I heard right that even at the point they took him off they could have still used it as a concussion sub….which is surely self defeating if your giving teams have a choice..

This is an odd one

The Leeds player was treated for a cut following a clash of heads. So if there was any doubt that he could suffer delayed symptoms due to concussion then he should be withdrawn and substituted?

Surely then the same criteria should apply to the Man U player because he was “ the other head”?

He didn’t get the cut but could have got a delayed reaction.
