I'm not a medical expert, but I saw the pictures with Lloris' eyes rolling in the back of his head. Seeing him playing 5 mins later sets the alarm bells ringing. I don't like AVB. He comes across as a tw-t. He behaves like someone who never played the game, knows people know he never played the game, and constantly needs to justify himself as a result with prattish comments.
Got it right? What was there to get right - the fact Lloris didn't collapse 10 minutes, an hour or two days later? The point is it was an unnecessary risk which could have gone horribly wrong. I certainly don't think anyone will agree that they "got it right".
Keep your hair on - if you have any, that is. He didn't die, did he? He hasn't gone on to suffer brain damage, has he? In that respect, the medics got it right. Anyway, what is your view on playing conkers in the playground? Safety goggles, or not...
It looked as if it was Lloris himself who was allowed to make the decision. Whoever made the decision it was wrong; if it was the club doctors they were wrong, I have known numerous occasions when doctors have made mistakes, this may well be one more.If they got away with it ,that does not make it right. How can it not be better safe than sorry? There is a very good reason why boxers have to go for check-ups if they are knocked out, it's due to the advances in medical knowledge. What on earth is the problem with bringing on the sub, and sending Lloris for a precautionary check-up?
AVB originally said he made the call, but the club later back tracked and said the medical team gave the go ahead.
AVB has quite rightly gone quiet on the subject, since Lloris was left out of Saturday's team on medical advice. So those who critcised his decision were "incompetent" and "trying to make a name for themselves"?
Not according to the BBC website. They quote the Spurs chief medic as saying they have monitored Hugo all week, and have decided he needs a couple of days more rest.
