The tactical timeout from Donnarumma

Now that we've done it, I suspect it'll be outlawed, so that's Arsenal fecked

Murphy had a reasonable suggestion on MOTD. If the keeper needs treatment, an outfield player has to do the 30 seconds off the pitch
Sounds simple but that's just assuming the keeper isn't actually injured.
 
Love it.
And I love the fact it is boiling piss with the media and rival fans.
If you can't beat them join them.
The bonus will be that Lickle Citeh may change the rulebook - once again. This is a bonus for all the honest teams.
Interesting to see that Arsenal today, did not bump the opposing team's goalie. They are obviously working out a new "dodgy set-piece" tactics.
Think they are a level above anyone else in staying one-step ahead of anyone else, regarding Shithousery

As Arsenal didn't have a lead to defend, I'm guessing Raya didn't go down injured at any point either.
If he had done nothing would been said as it doesn't seem to be such a big issue when he does it.
 
Amazing isnt it when its been going on for years and its not an issue but in the same match they did it after equalising, we do it once and its like its the 1st time its ever happened and the laws need changing.
Another to add to the clear and obvious agenda
I hate all these stoppages and welcome a crackdown but why can't the refs use common sense. They just need to make it clear they will book anyone for pretending to be injured, especially faking a head injury. An informal pre-match chat with the Managers will sort it. I despise the time wasting and cheating but Arsenal are absolutely the worst for it.
 
Comical that it's highlighted in one of the first times City have ever done it but it's been going on for years. Clear and obvious as someone once said.

Saying that I don't like it, and I don't like the constant stops in play because some ponce is rolling around because one of his eyelashes has fallen out. Unless it's obviously a serious injury, then get on with the fucking game.

No referee is going to openly accuse a player of faking a head injury. And I think it's unfair that they should be asked to. They're not doctors. With a lot more focus on concussion these days, it's not a road they're going to go down anyway.
 
Would the twat Farke had said anything if Arsenal or Liverpool had done the same think ? And what about the so called head injure from Leeds players ?

I am just sick of because its City a small time dick like Farke can call us cheate.
Agreed fully.
In fact I can’t believe we even have a thread on the subject on here ;-)
 
They’ll bring a new rule in but the refs will still apply it arbitrarily. Like telling the injured player and training staff to go off the pitch at the closest point, only for them to continue their path as they were. That happened yesterday as well, with that tit at our game.
 
I laughed.

Been going on since the dawn of football, but highlighted lately because of how blatant Arsenal have been. Yet the press only bring it up when there is a hint that City have got on board.

I laughed again.
 
Is that what it was? I just assumed he had a knock or a strain.
If it was fake, no, absolutely not for me.
