Was it enough to abandon the game is the only 'I guess you had to be there' question
I don't understand that statement. If the physio says they don't want to move him and the ambulance takes some time to arrive and playing the game isn't feasible, then abandonment is the only possible outcome.
You only need to report it to the league on this occasion. From what you said, you made the right decision.U16 game this morning and had to abandon after 31 minutes due to a suspected dislocated ankle of one of the players.
Do I report the abandonment to both the league and county FA, one, or the other? Thanks.
Unless you are medically qualified or have an established protocol you have to rely on the payer's and manager's judgement about whether the player should continueToday I had a keeper go down twice with possible head injuries. Both times the manager came over and asked him if he wanted to play on and he insisted he did. Should I have allowed him to continue? I did as the manager had checked with him but i'm thinking now that maybe I should have insisted he go off. The first was a stud to back of the head (accidental) and I think he just go hit for the second. Age group, U13's.
