Forget Gilmour what about the shower of a ref that didn't stop the game till ages after it occured.

To be fair, I understand our concerns that it did seem to take a long time to get help to Joe, but the referee didn't know what had happened IMO. If he knew that Joe was down and seriously injured I have no doubt play would have stopped immediately.

This was an unfortunate accident, and I'm sure in hindsight there are many people who feel they could have done something different to stop the incident or get help sooner or whatever. We shouldn't be looking to blame anyone.

Seeing a player fitting or having spasms is very scary and there can be no doubt as to the severity of the situation. Sounds like he got through OK and more of a scare than anything else and thankfully he is ok. It really is a hard hard game.

It doesn't help when players are knackered after player two games a week.

It's good to see the young lad's on the mend.
Gilmour will face no charge for his involvement in the tackle.

Am glad he is Ok. Hope he is given some time off though and not rushed back. Any bang to the head like that needs to be monitored for a time.

Speedy recovery Joe, from a Wakey fan in peace. Having seen the incident it looked bad enough, but even more horrendous reading the actual details. Once again, speedy recovery.
