Agree Fagan, but ā€œhigh riskā€ is a bit relative.

What if they get a belt in the face from a soccer ball?

Then theyā€™d fit perfectly into the League of Ireland.

Abhorrent mate. Worse still is the imbeciles coming in under the tweet and laughing at his hilarity and high jinks. I didnā€™t think you could get concussed from watching and following rugby, but it seems you can.

I canā€™t understand how he was allowed on a talk show after reading about him a bit.

His research is complete trash but as heā€™s a ā€˜Professorā€™ the media have trumpeted him. Some of what he has come out with about his private life is murky to say the least given his research

Sort of like the ā€œdoctorā€ involved with Gonzaga

This is a strange enough post.

Iā€™m pretty sure in that instance the media lambasted him and said the ref should have been listened to and him alone. Not the medical professional.

Why? As they wanted to trash rugby and concussions are so in vogue with them.

Here they are taking the word of an academic who is essentially a sociology professor with his own biases.

Iā€™d say one of the lads in the dressing room stole his phone for a minute and tweeted that, just for the laugh.
