Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2879539, member: 2221"] What the ****, and I really mean what the flying **** is this? Especially that bold part? Unlike what that idiot Gasnier said about putting the onus on refs to make medical decisions, the onus is on them to ensure actual medical professionals make those decisions, but they MUST safeguard the players welfare first and foremost! Most times, the game continues because it is away from the player injured and there isn't actual danger of increasing the damage done. In this case, it was a head first violent collision, where the player fell without control and was laying face down on the field. The refs responsibility is absolutely first to the player's welfare, as we could be talking about a life threatening injury, where seconds count! Imagine Oates stops breathing while almost everyone else is continuing the play, because the ref shouldn't interfere with the advantage and possible try for the opposition's team... yeah, that would go down really well for the game's popularity, even if the player survived the ordeal without nefarious consequences.
