When play stops ( or ball out of play)is easier than 1 minute
When play stops ( or ball out of play)is easier than 1 minuteSimple. Every time a player goes down they take him off on a stretcher. Ref adds 1 min and player stays off til then. True injury then can be subbed after the 1 min.
Apologies to him if it wasn't My eyesight isn't what it used to be. Perhaps I should be a ref!It wasn’t Sargent
The problem is you risk encouraging/giving permission to cause stops mid game. Like - if the clock stops anyway what's to stop players just going down so they can have a mid game american football style quick coaching sessionThis. It really doesn't need anything more complicated.
Why would they need to go to the centre circle? Just no leaving the pitch and no coaching.The problem is you risk encouraging/giving permission to cause stops mid game.

Not saying it's not possible but it isn't that simple. Think you have to combine that with when the clock has stopped for injury everyone in the centre circle for example
I have said before that its about time the governing bodies started retro video to determine if there was any contact on the cheating bastards or not, IF there is no contact and the player was deemed as cheating, whatever you want to call it, they should be banned for 4 games for the 1st offence !! I am sick to death of players feigning injury diving about as though they have just been shot the game of overpaid cheating bastards has gone too far enough is enough, start writing to the FA, Uefa etc etc to try and eradicate this shite from the game ...don't let the bastard cheating cunts win ...rant over!It's a big problem, and I can well understand that it puts a ref in a somewhat difficult position having to try and filter out real injuries from the fake ones. I don't doubt they had some genuine injuries yesterday.
However, yesterday there were many times Norwich players did it with absolutely no subtetly whatsoever. The goalkeeper, twice I think. The one where he went from the sideline with the physio stood right next to him waiting to come on only to hobble to the middle of the pitch to go down again.
The fact that they started doing it as soon as they gone ahead, with only 17 or so minutes gone, makes a total mockery of the game. It's not just unsporting, it's downright cheating.
I'm glad it caught up with them in the end, because if they hadn't spent so much time engaging in childish tactics, they might well have gone home with three points. You reap what you sow.
We could also let the players pick the ball up and run with itI'm no rugby fan, but I really enjoy watching the Six Nations each year. None of the injury shit happens in these games! If a player goes down injured, play continues around them! There's a head injury assessment in place for the injured player, who might be temporarily replaced. I also think the rugby rule whereby a player is given a yellow card, he's sent off for 10 minutes! That would stop all the cheating footballers!
The thing I've never liked about players getting suspensions for subsequent games is that it can actually work against the team the offence was against.I have said before that its about time the governing bodies started retro video to determine if there was any contact on the cheating bastards or not, IF there is no contact and the player was deemed as cheating, whatever you want to call it, they should be banned for 4 games for the 1st offence !!

I don't think it would unless you stop the clock, because if a player had to go off for ten minutes is you'd just have the other team wasting as much time as possible until those ten minutes were up. It could potentially increase timewasting.I'm no rugby fan, but I really enjoy watching the Six Nations each year. None of the injury shit happens in these games!

I think I'd start with making an outfield player have to go off in their stead and seeing what difference that made. If GK's then still continued to get 'injured' then I'd think about making the GK have to go off.I like the idea that if a gk gets 'injured', he has to go off for 5 or 10 mins and the backup gk comes on...no gk replacement ? ...then an outfield player must go in goal.
That would soon make the gk think twice about feigning injury.

All these complicated solutions, when all that's needed is for the correct amount of injury time to be played at the end.
It does nothing about the flow of the game and that's the real issue here IMO even the refs are responsible as well.They tried this for about 5 games, what 2 years ago? And then everybody started moaning about double digit added time all the time.
Agreed. The timekeeping is one thing but it’s the disruption of flow. The chance to regroup and even have team-talks. The refs and the authorities need to be prepared to have more teeth and potentially fall out with a few managers over this.It does nothing about the flow of the game and that's the real issue here IMO even the refs are responsible as well.
The only ban I can recall was Godden against FulhamI have said before that its about time the governing bodies started retro video to determine if there was any contact on the cheating bastards or not, IF there is no contact and the player was deemed as cheating, whatever you want to call it, they should be banned for 4 games for the 1st offence !!

They tried that in the U.S. and it’s not workingWe could also let the players pick the ball up and run with it
If we stop the clock, we can call the game on 90 minutes after the ball goes dead.They tried this for about 5 games, what 2 years ago? And then everybody started moaning about double digit added time all the time.

I think it was the only subsequent ban for diving in the EFL that season. Funny that.The only ban I can recall was Godden against Fulham

Also immediately a substitution puts one foot on the pitch the game starts - that will penalise a slow walk offBeing a curmudgeonly old git, I’d also introduce a rule whereby 30 seconds after a goal is scored the conceding team are able to kick off irrespective of where the goalscoring team‘s players are. If they want to continue their synchronised dance celebration around the corner flag, fine but 30 seconds after the ball hits the net play resumes.
6 weeks by the looks of it.Let’s wait and see how many weeks he’s out
I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on that one given it was a) pretty innocuous, so probably thought he could run it off, and b) a genuine injury. The rest of the game it took the piss though.What pissed me off was, it was obvious he was hurt when he went down in the corner
Hobbling to the centre circle and then going down was the piss take
When we played Barnet away in League 2 there was an under 21 game played on one of the training pitches. Barnet scored and ran into their own half to celebrate for a minute or two so the opposition restarted the game while there were still noshing eachother off. It was really funny to see the players all run across the pitch like 6 year olds chasing the ball when they realised.Being a curmudgeonly old git, I’d also introduce a rule whereby 30 seconds after a goal is scored the conceding team are able to kick off irrespective of where the goalscoring team‘s players are.

Havent seen any consistently implemented whatsoeverIn the latest EFL fan survey they ask you to rate how much these things have improved the game. Are any of them actually being implemented?
