Our country’s nurses are striking for only the 2nd time in 100yrs. Quick google shows they are paid less than LUAS drivers, how could these two jobs be in the same pay bracket - train for a weekend Vs a life’s calling #nursestrike

Goode, it’s been a while since either of us have been up that high (if ever). While he might have landed on his shoulder, the whole point of this focus on head injuries is that it isn’t solely about head contact. That isn’t a soft landing by any stretch..

For all the helmets out there it’s obviously foul play and a yellow card as he lands on his side, my point was holding your head looking for a red card isn’t on. If you hold your head you should automatically go for a HIA and it might help stamp it out

Pretty generous imo, walked in & rode the waves of an already high performing org. Any 'success' is modest & tangential to what pays the bills, men's senior team. Pro players still only through schools system, a huge bias to 1 province, so i'd ask what is different to 10yrs ago?

FS was a red card yesterday, it is 100% unlucky but it was a card regardless. The whistle wasn’t blow, Keenan was clearly regathering the ball and FS needed to be in a position to make a tackle - he wasn’t so he ended up clattering him in the head.
