Does anyone know the extent of the injury? Will he be out for long?

Re: Richard Mathers : Wed Feb 25, 2015 11:59 am  

I stand by my comment, as the player who he had tackled obvioulsy did not know he was out cold how the heck do you expect the ref to spot it. As said on here, and yes I was only listening to the radio, the ref was going for his card to sin bin for a pro foul. The fact he was injured sounded like it was not obvious! that comes from the commentators, once ref has blown for the penalty then he will always give it, its harsh but like I said same as a dropped ball if whitle is not blown then even though the player might be injured its a knock on, sorry fella laws of the game.
still no news what the injury was and how bad, will he be back for Sunday

The fact that you haven't even seen the incident renders the above as your usual tripe.

But please, feel free to keep passing on your opinions on the basis of a radio commentary, it's very insightful.

You may view it as tripe, all I am doing is telling you the laws of the game.
Am assuming you were at the keep moat, how far were you from the incident?

Directly in line. But what do I know?

Interested to hear from someone who was there, if you read my post I referred to the comments from the commentary team, so you were their how did the tackled player react, was it obvious to him that mathers was injured or was he trying to get free to play the ball

Probably got concussion... should be rested for a week or two then only allowed to play once passed fit by medical professionals.
