For a similar challenge last year Oliver Holmes got 3 matches. We contested ut and he got an extra match!
I'm sort of glad they have changed tact in their approach to this, but I have absolutely no faith that it will be administered consistently. Also if a player gets concussion don't they have to sit out for 12 days? With zero chance of a ban for a high shot expect a few dubious head contacts where teams play each other twice in quick succession, cup games, playoffs etc, that surely has to be discouraged? I'm all for the new concussion protocols by the way but whoever caused the concussion should miss out for the same spell, if not a game more.
They can hand out bans and I'm sure they would if they suspect a player was deliberately looking to injure a player's head. But the option to assasinate a team's star players in that scenario has always been there. Never been anything stopping you sending your fringe players you don't need on a head hunting spree or two. I guess Terry Newton was the only player thick enough to make it entirely obvious though.
