Fourth sub too.
I wish they would extend it for cases when players have head injuries. Any player who subs off for one shouldn't count against a team's normal three.
By Scum Go To PostVAR at the World Cup, lads.Not sure how to feel about this.

VAR should only be used by a ref to double check penalties, reds, or interference in play when offside.
We are at a point with technology that we can get a 100% decision on offside that does not require human error.

By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostOh DestroFucking hell.
Those are always so hard to watch.
By Pennywise Go To PostFucking hell.

Even harder when you consider it was for the draw deep into ET in a local derby.
I remember last World Cup where several players (Kroos, Mascherano, etc) had bad concussions, recommending that there be a neutral doctor part of the refereeing team who could make the decision of forcing players off and giving an extra free sub if that was the case. I understand it's not an ideal solution and would likely piss off teams, players, managers and supporters alike, but it was pretty apparent that none of them were interested in actually protecting the players first. Doctors asking players if they want to remain on the pitch (of course they do) is not OK. Neither is leaving it up to the manager.
Could a wrong choice be made that affects the result? Yes. Could the system be abused by the powers that be? Unlikely, but sure. Both better than not protecting a player and have a serious consequences as a result. Maybe it's the dumb way to go about it, but during that last WC it became pretty apparent that they were not putting the players health first. I don't think these situations would come up so often that it would be too disruptive for teams or super ripe for abuse.

100% agree.
A neutral doctor is the way to go because you are right, players with a concussion are in no fit state to know if they are ok to play. Also, as Jose showed, managers can try and put pressure on their medical staff.
By n8 dogg Go To PostFucking unbelievably poor comeback; so bad you should probably not be allowed to talk to people online ever again. It didn’t even make sense. It was like saying “I know you are, but what am I?”n8/n8
The banter in the Pig must be unreal.
By jts Go To PostWe would see players faking head injuries for a free sub.
As Inky said, a neutral doctor is a good way to go. Plus, head injuries are quite rare in games. It is not like a player can just go down and say they have hurt their head.
How was that not a penalty???
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostOh DestroI remember when he was hyped as a Chelsea transfer target to serve as Costa’s backup lol.
