The "Head Injury " Rule

[tregyblue61]

I agree, though not just for head injuries.
If they refs stops the game for a player on the floor, then they should make them go off for at least a minute.
The amount of times the refs stops the game and goes over to the player only to instantly wave to bench that they don’t need treatment.
Get up or get off.

It should be: if you go down and the game is stopped, if it's 1/2/3/4/5 or more minutes, that's how long you stay off the field for.

When the play is stopped, VAR should look at it straight away amd if the player received the slightest of touch to his face yet reacts like Lee Harvey Oswald is in the stadium, then VAR should instruct the ref to dish out a yellow card.
It's the only way to stop it

No the way to stop this cheating is to have the player taken off the pitch ,into the dressing room and fully assessed by a doctor.

Do you know what the correct position for a lineman to be in is?

I think it's pretty safe to say 'on the line'?

See Ben White? Fucking disgrace. Should have been sent off for cheating. And being an orange gimp. In fact he should get a life ban.

I said last week players should have to leave the field for an HIA - like they do in rugby union.
They'd soon stop throwing themselves to the ground.

Arse have two tactics.
One is the head injury to break up a teams momentum.
The other's, the keeper getting an injury.
Last week Ramsdale was warming up just as we began to assert a modicum of control.
Raya started to signal to the bench and I reckon they were about to use the 'injury' to get a 'timeout'. However it didn't happen for one reason or another.
They also all immediately run to Arteta. to have team talk. It's a fkin joke.

It's not the only thing that works well in the game of rugby yet is stubbornly ignored by the FA/PL/PIGMOL.

I know the current rule is if you go down and get treated you go off for 30 secs
But what we are seeing is players going down whether is head or other injury, game is being stopped and then the player declining treatment.
Rule should change if you go down and the ref stops the game you go off for 30 secs no matter what

 

[give it to gordon]

Footballers must be the softest sport mans in the world of sport.

They aren't embarrassed about being soft.

Players are cheats - what can you do, except respectively punish them, but that won't happen. Arsenal players are the embodiment of Mikel when he was a player.

Saw a stat yesterday that had German refs paid half of the 150k per year that the PL refs get which was a lot more than the Spanish, too. Seems that the old adage that if you pay peanuts, is wrong.

Arsenal as a club seem to exploit this one more than most, Gabriel seems to have a head injury a game… or maybe he’s concerned his fake hair has fallen out. The bald wanker.

Arsenal are becoming the English Atletico Madrid.
