Sounds sensible to me. Villas-Boas really let himself down on this issue last year but it's only right that the decision is taken out of managers' hands, they're not paid for their medical expertise.

If I could improve the rule, I'd rather a neutral doctor, rather than a club employee with a vested interest, made the decision.

which has been a conflict of interest issue in the NFL for a long time.

I agree, that's exactly the rule that should've been implemented, but ensuring true neutrality might not be all that easy.

I'd like to think no doctor would put his or her professional reputation and a players health on the line. I do think there should be an overall "match" doctor though.

I don't think it's mentioned in the article, so don't know if it's part of the rule or not, but I think that if a team has made all 3 substitutions, then a concussion occurs, they should be allowed to make a 4th rather than have to play at a disadvantage.

I don't. You always take a chance if you make all three subs quickly, so be it. I'm all for seeing more outfield players playing in goal.

Spot on. Benches should only have 4 player max IMO. Shouldn't be able to rearrange whole team of you cock up from the off, this is part of my dislike of football currently. Agree withe head injury rule.

Its a decent idea but I think will be hard to really inforce.  Also, its a judgement call on the doctor's part which has to be made almost instantly which puts a lot of pressure on them.

Absolutely the right way forward, don't mess with brain injury.  It'd properly ruin boxing tho.

Are there not enough threads to bitch about the team on, this thread is about a serious problem that hasn't been taken seriously in the sport for years, can at least this be kept free of the whining.
