I got a solid LOL out of this post. Well done, thanks. What an utterly ridiculous, over reactive and petulant post.surmo13 wrote:
didn't read past there, because that was all i needed to hear to know that, once again, i'm done trying to discuss with you.
Safety is fucking paramount in all parts of life, a head clash is an unfornate accident that's part of the game, further endangering an unconscious player for the sake of a game of footy is the definition of negligence and you are FUCKING DISGUSTING for trying to justify it.
congrats though, in a forum with a history of posters trying to out-insult each other, you managed to write one of the most offensive things i've ever seen on sportal/nrlff by doing something completely different.
"oh sorry medical staff, this man could possibly be dying, but we refs need to be commited to seeing if a football team scores some points in a game before we can ensure you the best possible chance to treat him, if other players get in your way chasing after a football, or 150+kg lands on top of him because it was a try-saving tackle at any point while your trying to do your job *shrugs* them's the breaks"
un-fucking-beleivable, delete your account.
Ill put my points in dot form for you Surmbro, so you can understanding them. Wipe your tears away before reading tho mate.
* Stop it at the next play, he was not in further immediate danger. (We seem to disagree here, and that is ok. Its called having an opinion. THe diff is mine is logical and correct and yours isnt ). That is the argument here, stop it at an appropriate time when the play ends. There was no need to stop it mid play.
* Refs shouldnt have the discretion to stop a game because they think one hit is worse than another. Just because someone is unconscious it doesnt mean its a worse situation. (We seem to disagree here too, and that is ok).
* Make a consistent rule that the game stop immediately whenever someone cops a head knock regardless of if they have the ball or not.
* Stopping the play immediately like that didnt allow the trainer to get there any faster.
* Ive never seen anyone land on an unconscious player ever, and play rarely stops instantly. Ive seen lots of guys cop head knocks and then go on and get back in the line and try and make another tackle though - or attempt to anyway while play is going. Most of the time the trainer makes it to the player and gets them off the field without stopping the game immediately if at all.
Now, a player getting KO or copping a heavy head knock its a pretty regular occurrence in the NRL. As I said, unfortunate but part of the game. It happens just about every weekend, if not every game every weekend.
How come I have never heard you crying out for immediate stoppages to games before? How come now, you are such an advocate for stopping the game immediately when someone is KO? This seems to be such a sensitive topic for you so after this massive cry and dummy spit from you I expect you to absofuckinglutley blow your lid next time someone gets KO and the game doesnt immediately stop. Oh wait, Bronco's player. My bad.
Did you scream and cry for an immediate stop to the game when Thiaday got KO and he was on his back in a worse physical position than oates?
The fact you ignored that situation illustrates how flawed your argument is perfectly.
