Let me fall out the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better
On a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
I would like to see my favourite team win more often.

How does the independent doctor rule that there was a concussion, particularly when the research article says that the majority of concussions in football wouldn't be detectable? What happens if a doctor suspects a player has a concussion then later tests show he didn't, does he still have to miss the next game? Does this apply to cup games? What about all the poor lower league footballers who don't get the benefits of this regime, will they be forced to continue going home and murdering their families?

It still seems like a good rule, regardless of whether it's going to be effective 100%. If the independent doctor suspects a concussion, take the player off. If it's confirmed, the player can't play for X amount of time.

There's no way of applying at every league level, but the (financial) stakes are at their highest at the top levels thus increasing the chance someone will try and play on with a suspected head injury.
