This needs sorting out by the FA and fast. Absolutely flipping ridiculous.

The Mansfield player today being a prime example.

I think that is what you are referring to.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

If you go down holding your head and physio comes on you should have to go off for ten minutes and be seen by a doctor before you return on pitch. That will stop the fake  ones.


If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

It will also encourage potentially concussed players to carry on playing and possibly endanger themselves. Something needs to be done but not sure this is it.

I get what you’re saying but you’d imagine if you did something to get concussion the physio would come on and assess you, all the refs would need is to understand whet a basic assessment looks like, but I get it.

What makes me laugh is when they kick their legs about and bang the floor with their hands. I’ve been completely smashed in the chops on several occasions and concussed a few times whilst egg chasing and I can tell you that’s the last thing you do.

You can't punish teams for genuine head injuries because of others milking the system. I'd say all head injury stoppages will be video reviewed and subject the a potential three game bam if deemed to be playacting.

How do you video evidence concussion? You would need an mri scanner....what looks inoccious could actually be
serious....its a difficult one as its clear already that teams/players are faking head injuries where it is advantageous to their team...the answer...
I suggest....concussion subs......you leave the field to be assessed by an independent medical assessor...minimum 10- 15 mins...in the meantime your team can put a sub on free of charge.....if the player returns to play as there is nothing wrong with them...you lose a sub..if the player stays off then so be it...sub stands.
