The fact they are playing on its hopefully a good thing

The hand pose signalled a knockout to me

Yeah that hand in the air thing is classic KO.

What part of the keeper connected with Varga? Looked at the replay and couldn't see. 

Looked like his elbow to me.

[egg_fried_rice]

He had the fencing response when he went down, so it was likely there was some sort of traumatic head injury

[RowlattsFox]

Don't want to blame Gunn, and probably not the right time to make the point but does more need to be done to stop goalkeepers flying out of their goal? Inevitable someone's going to get seriously hurt.

 

Appears good news that they've got him away but I'm worried they've just got rid of him as soon as possible so they can get on with the game. 

[foxfanazer]

Only saw it once but it looked so innocuous. Really hope that's not as bad as it seemed 

[Vacamion]

 

The only time I've seen someone twitch like that when spark out was on a rugby pitch after a guy tackled someone's knees with his chin.

 

Didn't look good.

 

 

[Unabomber]

What happened to him couldn’t see from replay. Prob not too bad though as they’re playing on 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Obviously hope the Hungarian chap is ok, but the Scottish lad involved - Ralston - he’s had two knocks to the head in quick succession too.

 

He probably should have had a concussion check after the first ball to the mush.

If it’s a head injury and his neck is fine, they might as well just get him to hospital asap. 

[RowlattsFox]

Never a penalty on first glance. 

[FoxyPV]

They don't take concussion seriously enough.

 

There are far too many times players take knocks, you can tell the player has been affected and play continues

[DJ Barry Hammond]

That’s a penalty surely!

[RoboFox]

Looked like a penalty to me.

Not a penalty for me 

[StanSP]

Think that should be a pen. 

[kingkisnorbo]

Not a chance. 

[Muzzy_no7]

It’s not a penalty. Armstrong knows exactly what he’s doing. 

[goody2028]

That’s a pen 

[Tommy Fresh]

Armstrong is getting his body in the way looking for it, perhaps just try and score you tit

[RowlattsFox]

Looked to me like he tried to win the penalty rather than taking responsibility and trying to score. More of a foul the other way. 

[bovril]

not a pen

[Vacamion]

 

I thought pen live and pen after the replay.

That Fabian Schar chap for Switzerland has taken so many head knocks. Had one the other day and carried on as if nothing had happened. They need to introduce concussion subs where you can bring a player back on once a check has been done. 

[RoboFox]

Should be a good last 10 mins. Both teams have to go for it now.
