 Barney Stewart Concussion?
Topic Originator: Ahoy!Ahoy!  
Date:   Mon 20 Oct 17:38

Is it right he is to sit out for 21 days due to concussion sustained on Friday night? Steven Mill was talking about it on the big football podcast.

It didn`t look like his substitution was due to concussion.

And if he was concussed, or at least suspected of concussion then 21 days isn`t necessary how long he`ll be out for. For amateurs that`s the minimum time, however there`s a different protocol for pros, it`s much more lead by medical professionals as pros have much more access to them, could be less, could be longer.

No mention of it in the manager`s preview on COWS.

Steven Mill: "Barney Stewart is concussed so he won`t be playing against Airdrie because o` the concussion protocols and all the rest of it..."

I think Steven Mill might have got that wrong.

Could it be that he got confused by a search result about Andrew Tod which includes Barney`s name in the same search response?

i.e. Google search for `Barney Stewart concussed`:

way i took it is he doesnt say it happened on Friday night. maybe its a bit of inside info from training.

on Lennon`s comments, the Press version of the same interview says they are from after the game on Friday night.

Interesting , said to my mates a few times in second half that I thought he aught to have been subbed earlier he was holding his head for at least 10/15 minutes before he was subbed

You could be right, GJ - possibly concussed during training on Saturday?* I wonder though if they would do on-the-pitch training, or training that could result in concussion so soon after the RR match?

*(I imagine they have Sunday off?)

Wetherby,

the post match write-up about Barney, which includes comments from him, doesn`t suggest he suffered any injury during the match.

Very strange because two or three times he crouched down holding /rubbing his head - maybe he can`t recall the incident ! But seriously , I thought he was struggling,very odd.

It`s a worry Wetherby because apparently concussion symptoms can be delayed for up to 48 hours, so you might be right that he had taken a knock in the match.

Do we not have a dotnetter who is on speaking terms with Steven Mill and can get the lowdown from him?
