Feigning injury
Re: Feigning injury
Earlier today on SSports 1 on that show with Kamara...Coleman and Jewell were on, both quite entertaining and amusing and what they did talk about was if someone goes down on the ground then the managers in the Prem had decided that play must go on and nobody kicks the ball out of play unless 1. the ref has blown the whistle, or 2. the injury looks to be serious or is a head injury. Even after the bad injury to the Fulham player yesterday Coleman spoke to the other manager, sorry can't think who it was now, and said to still go ahead with the ruling that the managers had agreed on that play continues unless the injury looks serious. I may be getting a bit muddled but it seemed to me that the managers had taken this into their own hands and Alex Ferguson sorted it out. Anyway from what I can gather they want the game to flow more and if anyone goes down and the ref has not given it as a foul then the game continues and the ball should not be kicked out of play even if the player remains on the floor. I'm sure that should help a little and not as many players will be going down feigning injury if the game is to continue on around/without them.

I totally agree. diving basteedo's. I've said this in another thread but they roll around in 'agony' to then get up n run off like nothing's wrong. Time they were peanalised for it.

seriously why not just let the physio come on the pitch, it stops the players from timewasting, and also gives the player treatment if they are actually hurt.

Re: Feigning injury
Was rather funny (or not at all really!) yesterday that in the first half the Cardiff players kept on going down and staying down, then after wasting a bit of time that they were okay.
Then in the second half when they were losing they were straight back on their feet and “ran it off” as play went on.
QPR did the same, all except Ainsworth who when being booed, looked at the Town End and shrugged his shoulders as if to say sorry as he really was injured, maybe any way.

According to Sky commentary from their game against Leicester last month Coventry have announced that they will not put the ball out when a player is lying on the floor 'injured'. I am not convinced that this is the best course of action, because there may be reprocussions where one team is willing to put it out but the other is not and goals result.
Law makers have a problem here because it is necessary to cut out the time wasting, and worse deliberate halting of teams counter attacks, by lying on the floor feigning injury, while still ensuring that treatment is given to players who are genuinely hurt.
Ideally it would be for the players to stop doing it, managers to adopt a consistent policy, and for the identification of non serious inury to be better simultaneously. What we saw from Cardiff was sadly typical of so many teams and will be repeated until something is collectively done about it.
With regards to allowing the physio on the pitch to treat injury while the game is in progress, in principal this seems fine, if necessary they can be treated as an 'obstacle' just as if the ball hits a dog that has run on the pitch in a park game.

I noticed that too, and also that he looked seriously pissed off when he left the pitch, presumably because he'd been booed by a bunch of chavs who never saw him play for PNE anyway.
Top lad, Gareth.
As for solving the feigning injury problem - any player who requires treatment from a physio should be required to serve a five-minute 'recovery' period or be substituted.

Re: Feigning injury
Alex Ferguson wrote to all the other PL managers to tell them that Man U wouldnt kick the ball out this season. Ronaldo kicked it out the other day and fergie went apeshit at him!!

Re: Feigning injury
That's what I was trying to get out in my post above, but in an iggledy piggledy way. Other Prem managers have agreed to this though, infact I think the majority if not all of them had, according to what was said by Jewell and Coleman on Goals On Sunday today. I think it's a good thing. Many a time teams kick the ball out of play only for the player to stand up two seconds later.
