So both teams get the same amount of subs. You would get mysterious head injuries every week to get an extra sub on if you didnt do this.Not understanding why the opposition should get an extra sub because someone's had to be subbed off with a head injury.
Just thinking though, say we've not used our 3 subs, but our opponents have. We need to use another sub for the concussion, then they get 4 subs rather than the 3 we have. Or have I picked it up wrong?So both teams get the same amount of subs. You would get mysterious head injuries every week to get an extra sub on if you didnt do this.

We would have 4 as well as we would still 1 of our normal subs left.Just thinking though, say we've not used our 3 subs, but our opponents have. We need to use another sub for the concussion, then they get 4 subs rather than the 3 we have. Or have I picked it up wrong?
If you have used all five substitutes then you can still replace the player who has suspected concussion.Just thinking though, say we've not used our 3 subs, but our opponents have.

I think giving the other team an extra sub makes sense since it gives teams less incentive to abuse the systemIf you have used all five substitutes then you can still replace the player who has suspected concussion.
Not sure I agree with the other team getting an extra sub as a result but it's a step in the right direction at leasr.
I can think of more than one, who use time wasting tactics from the first minute.i know of a certain club who would exploit this
I am more meaning in a regular sense of 3 subs per team. So for instance say we are allowed 5 subs in a match. Our opponents have used 5, we've used 3. We then have a player go down with a head knock and have to sub him off, they then get an extra sub (6) while we still only have an allowance for 5 subs total. Potentially giving your opponent an advantage because you've had the misfortune of having a player go down while not having used all your subsWe would have 4 as well as we would still 1 of our normal subs left.
A certain club with a bigger squad than the rest of the league.i know of a certain club who would exploit this
We would just use out 4th sub to take them off. Burnley done that the other week with Mee.I am more meaning in a regular sense of 3 subs per team.

You'd have to manufacture some sort of head knock to manipulate the system.I think giving the other team an extra sub makes sense since it gives teams less incentive to abuse the system
@Gardenhall BearA player forced off with head injury will not come out of your normal allocation of subs therefore giving you another sub the same as the opposition.
I think haha
In that case we wouldn't have used a concussion sub. We would have used one of our existing subs instead.@Gardenhall Bear
Each team would be permitted a maximum of two concussion substitutions in a match. A concussion substitution may be made regardless of the number of substitutions already used. When a head injury is sustained or suspected the team may either use one of their existing substitutions, if the maximum number have not been used, or make an additional concussion substitute. When a concussion substitute is used the opposing team has the option to use an additional substitute for any reason.
So my reading of that is, (using the old 3 sub rule for simplicity) We have used 1 of our 3 subs. Celtic have used 3. Our player has to come off with a head knock. We can do this using sub 2 of our allowed 3, BUT, Celtic then get the option of bringing in a 4th sub. Leaving us with only 1 more sub available and they've then had 4 subs to our 3 through no fault of our own.
Yeah, I get that now lol . So in that case then the opposition wouldn't get an additional sub? its only if its over and above our allocated subs that they get 1 more?In that case we wouldn't have used a concussion sub. We would have used one of our existing subs instead.
Ben Mee got a bad head knock with Burnley the other week and they just used one of their normal subs.
From your example in post #20, I think it's our choice - we can use a normal sub in which case both teams have a total of 3 subs available. Or we can use a concussion sub and both teams have 4 subs available (they get an extra normal sub, we get the 3 normal subs plus one concussion sub).Yeah, I get that now lol . So in that case then the opposition wouldn't get an additional sub? its only if its over and above our allocated subs that they get 1 more?
Not sure it has to be this way.So both teams get the same amount of subs. You would get mysterious head injuries every week to get an extra sub on if you didnt do this.
