if a player goes down and play is stopped ,that player must stay off the pitch for 5 minutes(controlled by 4th official) so a player genuinly injured would need that time to recover but someone play acting penalises his own team. just an idea.

So our star striker gets hacked down by a vicious tackle, and has to leave the pitch for 5 mins?

I would add that if it was a foul then "the dirty illegitimate" who did it goes off for twice as long

The problem I have are when foreign players go down clutching their faces even though there is no contract with their head. Busketts was a master of it. His face must have been made of glass!
When play is restarted it is always to the disadvantage of the attacking team meaning that there is an advantage for players to go down
It is also a time wasting tactic since the time taken never gets fully added on. To stop this why can't we have an independent time keeper who stops the clock when the ref signals like they do in rugby league?
It is not exactly restricted to foreign players is it? Morecambes keeper this past game being a prime example....

It should be up to the referee to decide if something is serious enough to warrant stopping play. Sportsmanship is fine and all but it's out of control when it's expected to give up an advantage because somebody is rolling around like a fanny only to be running around seconds after their team has the ball back.
If there is a serious injury then referees already have the discretion to stop play so treatment can be given, no need to kick the ball out anytime somebody hits the deck. The ball will eventually be out of play on it's own. If a team wants to put the ball out of play it should be given to the other team, that's their choice and they shouldn't automatically get the ball back.
Time wasting also needs more strict punishments in the game. It's getting ridiculous now when the dying minutes of a game are just players falling all over the place like they have been shot. I also think that an obvious dive in the box to win a penalty should be an automatic sending off like with the last man rule.

God forbid but let's hope no Bristol City player or any of their opponents players suffer a compound fracture or similar.
That said Bristol's opponents may not adopt the same approach of course

Remember many years ago at the end the f a Sky game they would put statistics up, one was total game time, usually about 90 odd minutes, another was active game time, this was usually around 45 minutes, so basically the actual action was only around 45 minutes, if the ball is dead then he clock should be stopped.

I didn’t know we had a ‘star striker’?! Nice one ☝️

if hes hacked down the guilty player probably would be off for longer than 5 minutes with a Red card.

Must admit, it frustrates me when one of Team A’s players goes down injured and they insist that Team B kick it out.
Team B kick it out and hey presto, less than a minute later Team A’s injures player is running round like Usain Bolt.
When I see a player on the floor rolling around in agony, I think about the times I’ve been in as much agony as that - like when I broke my leg, or when I got punched in the head in a brawl, so to me, if they’re down like that, I presume they need subbing.
Honestly, it boils my urine, all this dramatisation. In principle I agree with what Bristol City are doing. There’s no point kicking the ball out of play just so some soft twit can have a minute’s rest.
