100% should be a booking, it's so fucking annoying and refs fall for it every single time

Richarlison did it at least twice in today's game. The second one he was rolling around the floor until he saw Lewis running at him with the ball then he jumped up and sprinted to get the he ball. If he got booked for the that no way would he acted the goat with Nico later in the game

At least 2 other spurs players did it as well

They don't fall for it every time. They know what's going on. But they are referees not doctors. And even if the were, the very best doctors would struggle to diagnose from 30 yards away. They're in an impossible position. Being injured isn't a binary situation, where a player is either genuinely injured or is cheating, with nothing in between. If you asked referees to make a snap judgment on whether they believe a player is injured or not and produce a yellow card for the latter, it would in no time become the biggest farce we've ever seen. And eventually you'd end up with a player with a serious injury being booked and then the whole thing would blow up.

Just bring in what they do in rugby. The physio comes on and the game continues. Problem solved.

Sounds an obvious solution, that works well with both codes of Rugby.
But, neither Rugby code has managers/coaches who would instruct their players to kick or dribble the ball into the injured player/physio - this stopping the game.
Football, unfortunately, has managers and players who will stop at nothing to cheat and make new rules unplayable...
 
Thinking about this, out of all the injury stoppages how many require the player to be substituted ?

I would guess very few. So going by the law of averages most are fake. So bring in 15 minutes in a recover bin, so your team are down to 10 men.
Then the only injury you will get will seriously enough the player needs substituting or the play makes his own way to the side lines for treatment.

Was watching Tour of Spain a ride came of and they tried to put his dislocated shoulder back in on the side of the road. Ther couldn't do it so he got into an ambulance then a minute later was out on his bike and racing aga
 
Not the only thing that needs addressing.

2 weeks into the new 8 second goalkeeper rule, they might be playing quicker but every other set piece has gotten slower.

Ball was in play under 41mins in a 100min game last night.

Thomas Frank clearly has instructed Spurs to do it as well.

Ball goes out stop the clock until it’s in play again it takes all the pressure off the referee

It’s pretty simple - football must be one of the few remaining fixed time period sports that doesn’t. Would make you think it’s all part of the plan….?

The low pain threshold that players these days process is pathetic tbh.
Back when I started playing open age football in the mid nineties you would get kicked to fuck,dust yourself off,call him a dirty **** and get on with it.
Players are embarrassing these days.

I lost my leg three times playing for pub teams in those days, and was killed twice.
 
THE perfect rule for Arteta's coaching practice.................a gift for cheating charter.
