I watched the game they showed replays of it happening and it was iorfa that scratched/poked his eye 

 

Cheers. Poke in the eye, no harm done.

 

Still, agree concussions in football should be taken seriously. Everyone knows about Jeff Astle, but there are dozens and dozens of old footballers suffering with this. Hopefully the rule changes (less leading with the elbow for headers for example) and better footballs will help (although they travel faster than ever these days).

Load of rubbish should play next game far to much mollycoddling nowadays.  A quick plunge of the wet sponge and carry on.

 

Mick Lyons and Mick Pickering would have laughed at the thought of been took off.

won’t be laughing at the horrendous brain/nerve illness they may suffer as a consequence of said lack of mollycoddling.. 2 weeks is sensible IMHO

Obviously not every bang to the head is concussion

 

However there is s very compelling reason why concussion is taken so much more seriously these days

 

We recognise it more, we see it more and we know the consequences of multiple concussions and especially 2nd impact syndrome - usually fatal. 

 

Concussion is a brain injury not just a bang to the head.

They concluded it was a scratch on the eye - he’ll be back in contention tomorrow.
