[Football] Enough. You need treatment, you go OFF.

Easy 10 · Mar 2, 2019

Sick of it.

Unless its a blatant head injury, if you're down and need the physio, then the stretcher comes on IMMEDIATELY, and off you go to the touchline until you have "recovered". I'm fed up to the back teeth with mugs like Huddersfield deliberately breaking up ALL the momentum from the game, time and time and time again, with pathetic made-up "injuries" designed purely to disrupt all flow to the game. It got to truly ridiculous levels this afternoon.

Anyone notice the miraculous LAZARUS recovery of the bloke who happened to roll off the pitch "injured" ? Being down to 10 for a bit seems to be a great healer doesn't it.

Bollocks to it. Physio's do not set FOOT on the pitch unless its a head injury. You need treatment, off you go on a buggy or a stretcher, or a horse, whatever. And the game GOES ON.

Teammates can give them a piggy back off...I'm with you ..something needs to change

And then we give the ball back. Why did we? Don’t give back the once and guess what? They stop doing it.

Early Doors · Mar 2, 2019

Totally agree; I'm sick of it too.
If it's a head injury, it's potentially dangerous so the player should come off immediately (without stopping the game), go down the tunnel and be inspected by a doctor. And then only return if he gets the all clear.
Think that might stop a few 'injuries'? Not that it would ever happen.

Raleigh Chopper · Mar 2, 2019

Agree totally.
May I add that you are not allowed to be told that you are going to be subbed off in 5 minutes so make sure you are as far away as possible so that you can take 10 minutes to get off, strange how they sprint off if they are losing.
It's cheating and it makes my piss boil.

that’s what really makes me ruddy mad. it’s bad enough players cheating, but to then politely give the ball back ... STOP IT

zefarelly · Mar 2, 2019

Andone should have had a shot.

Bozza · Mar 2, 2019

Agreed.

However, for balance, Montoya also went down half-dead and was then sprinting like Usain Bolt a few seconds later.

Acker79 · Mar 2, 2019

They tried that. Until either the start of this season or last season the law was that you had to leave the pitch for treatment (except the keeper). The problem is along the way they stopped implementing it and started to allow "brief" (brevity varying from minimal to lots) treatment and then forced players off (even when the brief treatment was enough), which often left people wondering why they bothered making players leave the pitch.

Yeah but for balance got up pretty quickly after Mooys boot caught him

This is easy to get out round.

The captain goes into the opposition dressing room at 1:30 before every game and says something along the lines of ....

"Don't believe i've had the pleasure lads, my name's Lewis. Anyway if there are any injuries in the game, we don't intend to kick the ball out for your guys to get treatment. We certainly don't intend to give it back to you if you kick it out. Feel free to do likewise. I'm sure if the ref feels there's a risk to life or health he'll stop the game. May the best team win today, and all the best for the rest of the season".

And you missed Montoya s blatant cheat then?

StonehamPark · Mar 2, 2019

Simplest way is usually the best way.

Play to the whistle.
Whistle blows, team with the ball when the whistle goes will take a free-kick that must go backwards, after the injury is dealt with.
If one team decides to kick the ball out of play, the opposing team gets a throw and continues play as usual.

Done.

Nope, not at all. It cuts both ways.

But there was ONE team today who made it their mission to fragment the game as much as possible. Its tedious, and it needs to be addressed.

I very much like this sir.

Also substitutions should take place during play to stop a player taking 5 minutes to walk off.

This should be one of the laws, maybe not the Lewis bit, but if every team was aware of and applied this, it would be a better game.

Treat them on the pitch whilst the game goes on, like the do in Rugby.

Player goes down in the middle of the penalty area, then 4 doctors come on to treat him blocking the goal. Could be a new defensive tactic.

From next season, a player will have to leave the pitch at the nearest point, rather than by the benches. Rule change.

Of course, all it means is that the player going off when his team is narrowly leading, will make for the centre circle instead of the furthest corner as they do at present.
