Dumbarton player falls ill with heat exhaustion after ref refuses water break

[iaatpies]

Part-time players, who probably work outside most of the day as some form of labourer, were denied it.

With Covid going mental and players not allowed to grab bottles from the sidelines as they go, what do these clowns think was going to happen?

A point some are missing.

Until restrictions are lifted, its not as simple as somebody from the touchline throwing a water bottle onto the park that a couple of players will share around.

Bonnyton Thistle v Pollok at Townholm in Kilmarnock last night: water breaks in each half.

Pollok v Blantyre Vics at Newlandsfield on Saturday: water breaks in each half.

Common sense prevailed on these occasions thankfully.

Vale of Leven v Vale of Clyde was the same. Water break in each half. Couple of minutes tops that really didnt do much to disrupt the game.

Don’t forget the personalized bottles… especially with Covid!

There have definitely been people running on to pitches with players’ personally marked bottles for a few years though - it’s not too complicated to sort out.

Like many people I'm not saying don't stop for a water break, because we live in a WOKE society where people need to be told not to kill themselves on a daily basis so we need to deal with it, we will reach a point like America where you call a time-out when you are getting spanked to try and break the game up. But how stupid must you be when you run yourself into the ground to the point where you collapse.

So you only get heat exhaustion at certain times?

Genuine question, do you have heat exhaustion currently?

It would be far too sensible to have a water break in these conditions.

After all , it is a little backwater run by f.uckin idiots.

My son plays amateur football and on Wednesday night the ref gave water breaks each half it was 27 deg and I think he was needed some onboard as well

Genuine question, do you have a brain?
