The tactical timeout from Donnarumma

Just watching the dippers game and since they took the lead, the game has essentially been punctuated by a succession of dippers pretending to be fouled/hurt. Some might call it cheating, some call it game management. Either way it’s gone on for years and I’m not sure how you stop it.
When we do it, it becomes an issue. That’s why we’re the only team in history to do ‘tactical fouls’

I did need a shower afterwards.

Raya must be the world's most unfit professional footballer. Their game against us as the Etihad last season was embarrassing. It's right that a keeper doesn't have to go off following an injury, but it's also amazing how many of them need treatment since the rule was changed. Making another player serve the 30 seconds off the pitch nullifies the advantage of the keeper getting cramp.
 
What Danny Murphy, and others on here have suggested, about an outfield player having to leave the field for a minimum of 30 seconds after a goalkeeper 'injury' was already discussed at the IFAB meeting a few weeks ago. The other possible change they discussed was to strictly enforce a 'no coaching' rule during stoppages for injuries.

Their AGM is in February I think, where any changes for next season will be ratified.
 
I was at the City Women game at Palace last season, as I was down there for something else and knew one of the Palace players. I was sat next to one of her mates, who was a goalkeeper and she said to me at one point, "The (Palace) keeper's going to go down injured in a moment as the coach has just given her the signal". And sure enough she did. Even the women do it.

But then the FA outlawed fouls when Fernandinho started doing them so we shouldn't be surprised.
 
It was 2-1 when it happened. The subs were what made more of a difference for us.

Why not introduce 2-minute timeouts (one for each team) ? They have them in other sports.

I was reading a long Twitter thread on it earlier and people were saying that they see it all the time even in junior football on the park.

Funny that other teams have been doing it for years and the first time we do it there's uproar

This. Ramsdale did it every match at Arsenal and that was years ago. Continued since.

Don't like it as it disrupts the game but nothing in the rules stopping it until they bring in a rule that an outfield player has to be taken off for 30 seconds if goalkeeper needs treatment.
