You think everything is fine with Sexton.

Tim_Riggins · January 25, 2016, 10:07pm

I don’t know, I’m not a medic, I bow to the medics at hand

myboyblue · January 25, 2016, 10:07pm

So you’re not concerned.

Fran · January 25, 2016, 10:10pm

If someone has told us he’s fine then he must be fine

carryharry · January 25, 2016, 10:10pm

Mentally he is fucked. Physically, who cares?

Fran · January 25, 2016, 10:12pm

He’s fine, what they said before was incorrect but what there saying now is the truth.

feck_it · January 25, 2016, 10:14pm

Upping your game u are not. Why are you such a miserable cunt. Issues maybe. Bollix kicked outa u in school the whole time?

carryharry · January 25, 2016, 10:15pm

I think he likes you so i’d pipe down if i was you.

myboyblue · January 25, 2016, 10:18pm

Ah, the old jedi mind trick.

feck_it · January 25, 2016, 10:25pm

So Dr Tim you are the expert? Get ta fuck this has been talked about for a while now. It serious just like drugai in the game and so is sextons situation. Be as smug as you want mate ill take my armchair status. You are deflecting from the issue though. Unless you are seriously involved in the game or a doctor you are talking out your hole if you think that hook is talking shit

Fagan_ODowd · January 25, 2016, 10:33pm

Would former IRB Chief Medical Officer Dr Barry O’Driscoll be considered to be an “armchair medic”?

myboyblue · January 25, 2016, 10:34pm

Ah fuck ya Fagan, I was holding that one for when he really got snotty.

feck_it · January 25, 2016, 10:35pm

Wha? Hun cunt? Thats not very nice now

Tim_Riggins · January 25, 2016, 10:51pm

Where did I say I was an expert or deny the concussion problem?

I asked where all of these armchair concussion experts have come from and why they are more qualified that the medics who have assessed him here.

Tim_Riggins · January 25, 2016, 10:52pm

He’s worthwhile listening to but long before his interview this evening we had experts on here and elsewhere to tell us all what’s what.

George Hook, Franno? Bore off

Gman · January 25, 2016, 10:57pm

Have you read league of denial Tim? If so, would you consider that it could have hugely similar outcomes to the current rugby set up? And if you haven’t read it, you should. Interesting how a sport pretty much ignored a very clear issue and did what they could to pretend there was no concussion or permanent brain injury issue.

Raylan · January 25, 2016, 11:00pm

John Fogarty retired due to repeated concussions in 2010, it was widely reported on then, and he certainly wasn’t the only one referred to as having had issues at that time.

myboyblue · January 25, 2016, 11:02pm

Migraines, migraines!

Fagan_ODowd · January 25, 2016, 11:04pm

So what?

feck_it · January 25, 2016, 11:08pm

Its being talked about, not so very much but still, for what a year now? I’ll stand corrected on that but its coming out more because its happening, because of they way the game has gone. Also because just maybe people want it covered up a little.Those lads hook et al write about and know the game and most likely know medics, maybe involved in the game I’m not sure where the point has gone tbh but sexton in particular has had some serious hits and his career is in doubt
