Fair Play (injured player)

[blue4eva77]

Should the ball be kicked out of play so an injured player can receive treatment. Years ago I approved of players doing this as it was good sportsmanship. However, as the years have gone by I find it grating on my nerves more and more.

I don't personally, and don't like it when Everton. If it's a bad injury everyone knows it so the ref will stop the game.

I think I've only ever done it once and that was when I was last man with the ball and got closed down with no options. Lamped it out because I'm a good sport and all that.

I especially hate it when we get in to a dangerous position and put the ball out because some ponce has twisted his ankle a bit 50 yards away. Koff Everton.

 

[blue4eva77]

Agreed.

Play to the whistle. Its the only way these foreign tarts will learn. They love to break up the flow of the game.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Head or major injuries only. Way too many cramps manage to stop or delay the game

Remember this farce

It's become another way for the cheats in the game to stop the opposition. The ref should be the one to stop play.

 

[Groucho]

If it's bad, yes, if it's minor, no.

And DEFFO not for cramp.

 

[blue4eva77]

Its the same with these lads who go down and stay down. Get them off the pitch and lets continue the game. You'll be a man down... you'll soon recover.

 

[moyeslovechild]

The only reason id say no is because of the amount of times players go down and stay down just because theyve fell on their arse

if players werent divin all over the show then id say the game should be stopped. but now, no, u just cant trust the lads. especially when its like a striker thats gone down who wouldnt even of been defending, why the hell should u kick it out?

 

[TX Bill]

Not anymore.

Play until the ball is played out by the opposition.

Done with this feigning injury crap to slow/stop play.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Treat the player while the game continues like in rugby.

What started out as a decent gesture towards an opposing player has now turned into a bit of a farce. Players going down as though skittled disrupting play (the purpose) then after a few minutes running round like a toddler. The match officials should control the flow of play...theres enough technical contact between them you would think for continuity...though some of the barmpot decisions on non injury situations would make you think otherwise on occasion.

Bingo !! and that way they wont want to be doing it whilst defending as they'll be playing folks onside, in fact whilst the physio is on the field of play then maybe make it where they also will be playing someone on so that they wont just wander back off 'at their leisure.'


That Eva btw from Chelski is looking a touch rough atm.

 

[Blu Bianco]

Back in the early 80's, does anyone remember when there was an injured Watford player laying on the ground and Neville Southall grabbed the ball and sportingly put it out of play to allow him get treatment?

Then direct from the throw-in Watford promptly attacked and stuffed the ball past Southall for a Watford goal.

There's a lesson there perhaps!

Play to the whistle, let the referee make the decision.
