Boro did it twice today
at 0-0 when 11 v 11 , their keeper went down to allow them to rearrange
and then late in the game when we were breaking, one of their players went down to stop a quick throw in

Surely this is deception, and needs to be punished with a yellow - happening far too often against us and is pure cheating
 

They are blaming the ref 🤣

A clear second yellow for what was a nasty tackle.

Let them get away with all the theatrics. It was genuinely funny how desperate Ayling was for us to get a sending off. At one stage I thought it was working and the ref was going to comply.

I haven't seen the Bassette challenge yet but from the stands it looked fucking awful.

very frustrating, and blatantly obvious what they were doing. It’s becoming more and more frequent too. Needs to be stamped out by the authorities, perhaps by not allowing the rest of the team to congregate around the manager when the keeper goes down.

Their theatrics were embarrassing, the diving tosser up front in the 1st half and then Aisling in the 2nd was a disgrace, the ponytailed fuck.

But how do you stop it. I remember years ago in a league cup game the Everton game the Everton keeper thought Auqero was faking his injury and it turned he had a long term injury. Watched the Arsenal game today and after Newcastle scored they spent the rest of the game stopping the game flowing by constantly going down for innocuous tackles and cramp. You can add time on but difficult to actually to stop it. Let's face it it's the managers who encourage and the players go along with it .
 
When a keeper goes down for apparently no reason when their teams under the cosh, the ref should get all the players from the team to stand in the centre circle before the medics are allowed on. Would stop the whole bullshit of a tactical injury in its tracks. To me it seems the only way to stop the blatant cheating, with guarantying the safety of the players.

absolutely, stems from the manager. To be honest, it had little impact today as we continued in the same manner and had our second disallowed goal soon after. It wasn’t until they went down to 10 that they had their best spell of the game.

I doubt anything will be done, the authorities are a farce. It’s bad enough the blatant time wasting which continues to go unnoticed and isn’t reflected in the time added on. A mere 12 months ago we were watching 10-12 minutes+ at the end of each half after the EFL’s new initiative, that soon disappeared!

Look at the protocol about head injured and the no of players who go down pretending they have a head injury, so the ref is obliged to stop play. Or pretending they are injured while thumping the pitch with their fist.A lot of laws are bought in to try and deal with this but managers and players always find a way to exploit these rules.

Anybody that goes down with cramp should leave the field for five minutes to recover it would never be seen again.
 
Another option would be, if a player goes down for a none serious injury (a tactical injury) the 4th official makes the manager sit back down in the dug out and makes sure no players are allowed to converse with him. Would solve the whole problem, and I'm sure it would stop within a matter of games.
 
This was all Man U esq ….. a second yellow & then how long did it take the player to finally walk off , with half the team arguing with the ref & the others having a go at the linesman ?
The ref was awful & card mad after this , with Boro just diving off their feet , & always gesticulating for a card to be produced for our players …..

I hate it all and it really spoils the game.

I hate it if we do it too. This is not what football is supposed to be about and like you say, it's cheating.

As Nick said on the match thread, stop players going to the touchline for a briefing with the manager.
You could go as far as to say the manager has to return to the dugout when the physio is on the pitch

The best solution when the keeper goes down like that is for the ref to say get off the pitch to receive treatment as they are near enough the touchline and the game continues. It would stop over night

Yeah on radio they kept saying there is nothing you can do to stop it

telling manager /coaches they will be sent off touchline if they speak to Amy players is one option. Making players stand apart so can’t speak to each other is another, or on far side of pitch from benches
 
Whilst watching it, I thought one option could have been for the players to all go and congregate on the touchline right in front of the Boro technical area. Basically so it would have been almost impossible for Carrick and the coaches to speak to their players - a barrier of sorts. Surely no rule against that if they're still on the pitch.

Maybe stand in front of him and do constant star jumps.
 
Just scrap the technical area and tell the managers they must stay seated in the dugout.
 
I like the idea of having the players wait in the centre circle when a keeper goes down injured.

Not so keen though on the comment made by the CWR commentary team that this was a kind of unofficial time out, and that there was some kind of inevitablity that time outs would be introduced into football sometime in the future.
 
When the keeper went down I thought the same thing, but to be fair he was flexing and limping on that leg later in the game so that may have been genuine.

They were constantly at it with shithousing all game though, Ayling in particular.
 
Was Ayling the twat with a pony tail? He should have had two yellows for his constant moaning alone. And that guy that tried to get was it MvE or Lats sent off earlier on?
 
Yea took me back to the wolves game. Got talking to an old wolves fan on train back to Brum.
He was saying it was a tactic their manager uses when needed. He gets word to keeper who sits down, team then know that is the signal to run to manager for new instructions.
He said even the wolves fans thought it was a shit thing to do.

wasn’t he the one who elbowed bassette too

He played three seasons in the Premier League.

Frankly, the stones on the referee not to listen to him.
 
It’s crept in along with generally feigning injury again to break up play and waste time. Refs seem to be stopping play for outfield non head “injuries” all of a sudden too. All this briefly dropped right off when they stuck the actual proper added time on for a portion of last season. But that stopped and the theatrics made a swift return. So there is a deterrent if they can be arsed to use it. Can only assume a few top end premier managers/clubs moaned about the extra minutes and the FA bent over.
 
There’s no law stopping coaching during the game
There is a law against unsporting behaviour which pretending to be injured certainly is. The solution to me is to call their bluff and treat the keeper as any other 'injured' player by making him go off the pitch for a while before coming back on.

Would soon stop it.

Agree. At the end of the day it is poor refereeing

I think it's harsh to blame it on the referee, there are no rules to prevent players from congregating on the touchline during stoppages, and is pretty much forced by convention to stop play to allow the physio to assess and treat the player for injury.

I think introducing a rule to prevent the congregating of players on the touchline during stoppages involving physios treating keepers is possible.

Anyone have a problem with that needs reminding that these stoppages are to assess players for injury. Football doesn't have designated and intentional stoppages for tactical discussions.
