There is well documented evidence on what you should do should someone suffer cardiac arrest their is no such data to show what the course of action is should someone suffer a head injury but in any other sport a head injury results in immediate removal from the game. he should have been removed from the game and your attempts to justify the actions of the spurs medical team is reprehensible if it was a member of your family who had recieved a blow to the head would you be happy for them to play on in an inconsequential football match on medical advice or would you want them to be removed from all risk asap.
Why was there none of this fuss when Everton's Romelu Lukaku carried on playing after suffering concussion after scoring against West Ham United earlier this season?
Or the countless other examples where a similar thing has happened?
Then there should have been the same amount of fuss. Any player who loses conciousness due to a blow to the head simply shouldn't be allowed to continue. It's impossible to see what damage has been done internally to the head without a thorough examination, far more thorough than the ones able to be carried out by a physio on the pitch. Lloris should have been removed, as should Huth against us, Lukaku against (I think) Villa, Kompany playign for Belgium, and, I believe, Townsend also for you at some point. Simply stating that there's no guidelines so therefore no-one has done anything wrong is hiding behind red tape, the medical professionals should know the dangers. The player has been smashed in the head so hard they've lost concsiousness, there's no way in any other profession a doctor would say, on the employee coming round, right, up you get, time to get back to work.

The finest team Moldova can provide, Sheriff Tiraspol.
A good opportunity for some of our youngsters to get a run-out, as we're pretty well assured of progress to the knock-out stage already.
