Long fails a head test, not even named in the squad for Friday, shame on you.

Shame on long for going with the elbow, probably nothing wrong with his head, he knows he will get a ban so wont be playing anyway and is trying to get some sympathy.

they won't have named him because they expect a ban, why waste a spot

Long's was a mis-timed challenge cos he was suffering from concussion, well that's what he says in our paper anyway.

He would still be named in the squad, innocent until proven guilty and all that.

It doesnt matter how you time it if your leading with the elbow

It does if you're TRYING to take someone's head off!

He was concussed remember, wouldn't have known what he was doing.

If he was concused he wouldn't have been able to whallop someone that hard.

Or be allowed to stay on the pitch, unless the Hull medical staff are negligent which would then mean the club would be in bigger trouble for providing sub-standard medical staff.

What if he lied to them, you know what a soldier he is, he would have wanted to see the game out.

i'm now convinced that long actually regressed to his childhood violin lessons after recieving a concussion and that why his elbow was up

Don't recall your man staying on the ground, was there even contact at all?

If you have a suspision a player has a concussion - which for a trained medical profession would be easy to spot you have to perform a test to diagnose it first, if it then turns out they have a concussion they cannot go back on, and if they don't they can.

If the medical team failed to perform this test then they fall foul of negligence and putting a player in further danger.

cas players are just that hard

I think they would have had to done a mental capacity test if they suspect he was lying, if he fails that they can act in his best interests.

I don't recall yours staying on the ground long, either!

Someone with concussion has jelly legs, looks spaced out and as double vision.

Dont think this descibes long tbh.
Some fc fans are clutching at straws.

Oi! I'm like that most of the time

Or their medical staff are trying to get him off a ban. I wonder if this concussion verdict is an independent one...

Just watched boots n all, backs up what I've been saying and even shows another incident where Isa should have had 10 mins. As Cullen said, he isn't a fan of Hull or Cas but the facts are there for all to see.

Like the fact Isa got a ban and Radford didn't?

What I don't get is this:

Hull fans are quick to criticise Child.
He got the decision to send off Long correct.
The sin-binnings were correct.
They had more than enough ball to win the game and failed to take their chances.

The result is as much their own fault as it is 'supposedly' Child's.

When I first saw the tackle on Long on the line, I thought that Long had been scragged by the shoulder - nothing untoward.

I don't get what the Hull fans want from us? Sympathy? Come off it. We're hardly going to be crying about the injustices of the world when we've been as much 'victims' of the penalty count as they have.

I suggest they get over the fact they lost and move on to the next game against Bradford. The more they bang on the more they sound bitter.

I'm glad someone has finally admitted there has been an injustice here and yes we are bitter towards Child as fans and as a club, it's not about the correct decisions he made, it's about the stuff he missed and the double standards he showed as highlighted on boots n all, I don't see what is wrong with being bitter about this but as you say, time to move on.

Cas scouser is anyway! Wouldn't he been an ex team mate of Longs at Saints? Fair play to Jake though, he didn't go hunting for Long after it.

It wasn't the best game was it?

So you're moaning that he missed stuff but also moaning that he gave penalties and the number of penalties he gave? Can Child win? Seems not.
