Privacy for injured players

After the event at the Vitality do you think that its time to introduce screens on the pitch to provide seriously injured players with privacy. It must be an awful thing to see at a stadium and also it would stop the U Tube ghouls from filming it
Think there are too few incidents for it to be necessary and the cynic in me thinks that it is just something else that teams/players will abuse to waste time. What counts as a serious injury? Is it just head/heart issues or would you include broken legs etc? The decision abut when it would be necessary would probably be made too late to prevent any video footage anyway.

I really do! It's personal medical infomation. No one a right to it other that a specified professional and the patient.
The Everton Burnley game the other day really shocked me they kept saying one the players was off with their mental health!!!!!
 
I think we are all guilty of giving footballers a different level of judgement. "Oh he's a millionaire..." etc. That also is the same level of privacy that gets wavered. Everyone knows players wages.
 
Not for me. Just concentrate on treating them if they are badly hurt.
Sorry I will add to that. We have had the likes of Lockyer and Eriksen collapsing in recent times. Who exactly is providing this privacy and are they setting up this before treatment? Do you have screens at every stadium and someone in charge of them?
 
They have it at racecourses so we don't see the injured horse getting shot. Perhaps we could arrange something similar for players feigning injury?
 
Play every game behind closed doors just in case of a serious injury. Ah but then the other players will still have knowledge of the injured players medical status. Let’s cancel football altogether.
 
They should fit screens like they have in banks when they get robbed. Someone then presses the serious injury button and the screens shoot up all around the ground.
