Ben mee

I have know idea if he was concussed or not but all procedures carried out on him were normal protocols for a head and neck injury. The way his head twisted there could have been neck or spinal damage. Just thankful he has come through it apparently without serious damage.

I can’t see Mee playing this week if we were forced to do without Pope earlier in the season.

I know what you mean, but Rivaldo’s teammates did the same when the ball hit his arm and he dropped like a sniper’s headshot.

Disgraceful, that deserves to be ignored based on that chest and volley vs Utd in Champs League ... One of the bits of skill and finish we will see

Mee will be back before Pieters imo. Pieters, a player I didn't rate before this season started, but I've been very glad he's on the squad.

Pieters has been an extremely shrewd addition to the squad

Very useful player who can adapt to more than one position.

Every team needs one.

Dyche clearly playing the system here. If had been a concussion sub it might have meant Mee missing matches this week.

Re Ben Mee; sensational. What a leader.

If he was concussed or worse I doubt Dyche would play him the week after anyway.

That said it’s Ben mee and I’m sure he would play with a broken neck!

Absolutely, I’ve no doubt Mee will be desperate to play. As will Dyche and all of us.
However if it is a concussion it shouldn’t be a choice he has a say in.

The manager has confirmed that it wasn't a concussion substitution, so fingers crossed he's OK for Wednesday.

There is a lot of speculation on here about todays injury to Ben ...

Sean does not decide if its a concussion injury ...

Also the commentators do not decide if its a concussion injury ...

Its only a doctor that can decide if its a concussion injury ...

Lets leave it to the professionals

Ben Mee is just to brave for his own good,puts his health at risk everytime he turns out for us....a true Burnley stalwart...he must love our club.

huw.Y.WattfromWare · Post by **huw.Y.WattfromWare** » Sun Feb 14, 2021 12:14 pm

Just watched the match again. I hadn’t realised he had treatment whilst we were celebrating Matt’s goal. He indicated to the ref that it was an elbow caused it then walked off looking like Michael Palin with chips up his nose.
If they had spent more time playing football and less trying to rough us up it might have been a game.

Ben Mee and Irn Bru. Made from girders.

That's why I suspect concussion. The modern protocol is that if the player is unable to tell you whether his neck is broken (ie. he's concussed) then he has to be strapped down as if it is broken. They always do spinal injury protocols for concussion.

This also explains why, when you see a man being treated for possible spinal injury, it almost always isn't. It isn't even suspected. It's a precaution, an unnecessary one 9+ times out of 10, but insisted on because the damage caused by getting it wrong is so severe.

What did you expect

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sun Feb 14, 2021 1:55 pm

I wanted us to start making subs to protect key players at the 60 minute mark - but of course would have potentially given them the upper hand.

I spent the rest of the match just waiting for one of their elbows, arms, shoulders or hands to injure one of our players. They were at it the minute the 2nd goal went in. Low and behold, got JUST what I was expecting.

Disgraceful team.

Wow... you sound just like one of those precious fans of other teams that we all rightly laugh at on here. Hypocrisy at its finest!

The Mee injury was an accidental collision, in any case.

Presumably he won't be avaialble for West Brom either. Must be at least a seven day lay-off?

..and maybe for his colleague Tarkowski too. There have been times when these two together have been quite sound, but Takowski's leadership and talking to Long will be important. All being well Mee back for WBA. A draw v Fulham will be a good result

Six days lay off. OK for the Baggies, apparently.

At the end of last season, in the last six matches, Long partnered Tarkowski and we earned nine points.

Those matches were against Sheff U, West Ham, Liverpool (won every home game up to that point), Wolves, Norwich and Brighton.

Some very tricky opponents and he did very well.

Well could be worse. Better being stuck with me than Kevin Long!!!

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Mon Feb 15, 2021 6:58 pm

Hmmm. We could do with Mee in the crucial games here. We are much weaker without him. It forces Tarks to play o the left so we effectively have 2 weaker CBs and Longs distribution is way poorer so we give the ball away more

ClaretAL · Post by **ClaretAL** » Mon Feb 15, 2021 7:05 pm

Was the long sub for Ben a concussion sub? If so then are there not rules depicting minimum down time for concussion? I know when i played rugby i had to have a 10 day no match.

It's been stated on here (rightly or wrongly, I'm too depressed about this news to even check) that in the PL it's 6 days which means he SHOULD be ok for WBA unless he suffers in the meantime.

Long will be fine with Tarks by his side, 3 points against Fulham.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Feb 15, 2021 10:28 pm

Crikey! hark at all the panic merchants on here, yes obviously it's a big blow to lose our captain for such a crucial game, but FGS let's all get behind the players who will be playing, and that includes Kevin Long, he's shown alongside either Mee or Tarks he's solid enough against the likes of Fulham, and when we had our rocky spell at the start of the season we were fielding a cb partnership of Long/Dunne, that's vastly different to Long lining up alongside when of our mainstays.

Hope Ben Mee recovers quickly, and returns only when he's ready, his health is more important than anything.

Who'll take the armband? Tarks or Westwood at a guess.

We’ll be fine whatever happens and much better to give Ben time to recover properly. We’ve taken 25 points from the last 17 games and in that run with the exception of a very unlucky loss at Leeds we’ve only lost to the teams in 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th positions in the league
