And yet Alibert got the original decision spot on first time.

His problem appears to be one of confidence and perhaps self-loathing.

LOD has form for hitting hard and illegally.

Kirke has form for gertting owned.

Pity the first part doesn't apply to Bailey - sadly the second does.

Some peeps are obsessed.

Well that's understandable, he's French.

how hard is odonnells head !!!!

like jamie peacocks cheekbone?

O'Donnell's head is no harder than anyone else's. In a head clash it all depends on where you get hit, how hard and at what angle. As for Kirke, I hope he doesn't play this weekend. Regardless of his apparent recovery there is a lot of evidence that the brain can take several weeks to fully recover from being bruised, and another knock to the head too soon can multiply the damage. Any talk of 'toughness' when it comes to head injuries is macho bullsh*t.

I'm not sure that your first point is necessarily true. In the boxing world there are fighters that are much better at taking shots than others. That said, there's insufficient evidence that the same applies to O'Donnell.

Re Kirke, I'd agree that he shouldn't play for a while, perhaps not for the rest of the season. And the macho bullsh*t sentiment I very much agree with.

Yep I'd agree with that too, I think we're often too quick to send players back out on to the pitch again after head injuries. I cringe sometimes when I see a player who has obviously taken a blow to the head and can barely stand, then carry on playing. It's only a game in the end.
