       Agree 100% in principle, but I need to be shown how it can be
       successfully deployed WITHOUT teams using it to their advantage.
       For clarity, I mean faking a head injury to give a player a
       break (or have an "impact" sub for 10 minutes) and then return
       him to the game.

       In rugby union you have an independent match doctor that
       oversees these things and I can’t remember any controversial
       incidents. Regardless head injuries are more important than any
       of it anyway when we consider the amount of early onset dementia
       related deaths there’s been in the sport.

       Fine for the Premier League, maybe even the Championship, but
       clubs at lower levels are not going to have the means to source
       an independent doctor.  Will this mean another diversion of the
       Laws for the bigger clubs from the grass roots?  It is starting
       to fell like different games .....
