Quoted from rancido



I suggested on here some time ago that if a player needs medical attention ie the physio comes on the pitch to attend to him then that player , once on his feet , should go off the pitch for 5 minutes to allow complete recovery from the injury. I don't think that sending a player off for the same period of time for causing an injury should be introduced as it wouldn't discourage feigning injury. What happens if it is an accidental clash? The act of feigning injury must be discouraged and the only way is to punish the player using his absence of the pitch. This in turn will introduce pressure from team mates and managers to discourage this cheating practice.


Double edged sword though, my point was, if the official deems the oppo player has intentionally caused the injury and either been spoken to or cautioned, then they should leave the pitch for the same time so not to dis-advantage the other team, if not, what is to stop a player from intentionally/professionally giving a player a little knock so they end up off the field of play for 5 mins.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

But surely a player wouldn't go down for a little knock knowing he could miss 5 mins game time. As for intentionally/professionally knocking a player then surely that is what yellow and red cards are for?

Nice in theory but it could encourage honest players to make a genuine injury worse by playing on.

My issue is that players will kick the ball into touch when they see an opposition player hurt. Sometimes the referee makes the call. Within two minutes that 'injured' player is running around like nothing happened.

I say don't kick the ball out unless it's for a teammate, or the opposition player is obviously hurt.

But you only have to send the player off for 5 mins if the physio is involved, therefore minor knocks could be run off. It's not as if the physio does major surgery on a player when he comes on anyway.

Got to say though Madonna is old school....now if that had been Lady Gaga she might still be rolling around on the floor today
