The news has been making a big fuss over Paul Roos rushing out onto the ground at an under 16s football match to check on one of his players that was injured badly and could barely breathe. He has maintained he would do it again and that he did the right thing, which has been backed by most people, until this morning. Now that he has been whacked with a big reprimand he says it was the wrong thing to do. Read the article hereWhat is your opinion? I'm a little biased obviously as I love Roos, but I think he did the right thing and the fuss was ridiculous. |

I think it is great to see a coach react like that especially with kids. However he knew the rules and I believe he should have consequences one rule for all no exceptions otherwise the rules get abused. I think they are punishing him to severly though, it should be reviewed on a personal basis he didn't rush the field to attack anyone or to talk to players he was looking after his player, he was being sincere.
Now if the player wasn't receiving medical attention promptly or efficiently then perhaps I would think differently.

Sometimes you don't know where to draw a line with rules like this. I get why he was punished for going on the field but for a situation like this, should that rule come into play?
Sir Alex (of ManU) got warned by the FA for saying GOOD things about a referee but the rules says you can't talk about the referee out of their Respect program. But isn't saying good thing about a ref being respectful?
So yeah. It's a bit hard to say with these rules. If Roos wasn't warned for it, someone else can do the same thing but talk tactics to another player in the process and then argue that he was looking out for an injured player and get away with it.

It should always be left up to the medical staff on hand to deal with injuries but in a game with kids or teenagers there needs to be some leniency. When I was coaching my cousin's football team I'd have had a hard time not going out to check on one of my team if they had been seriously injured on the field. And I don't think it would be the wrong reaction. But in professional sport then the coach should have to stay off the field.
