95% of the time the "injured" player has nothing wrong with them. Thus the cheating fools put their team at a deserved disadvantage.
the rule is simple. you foul a player for your oponents and then your a man up for cheating whilst that player goes off for treatment. i think it would be fairer if the player commiting the offence had to go off too.
They go off the field for treatment so the game can continue. So there are less stoppages in the match, and more football being played. It's got nothing to do with giving an advantage to anyone.
So when a player gets "fouled" by the opponents best player then rolls around for a bit , and requires 10 minutes of "attention" , or even stays off the pitch longer , what happens then?
RE: So when a player gets "fouled" by the opponents best player Well yea but the ref cant exactly say that the players not injured. But if the player is down for more than 10 minutes Then more than likely the manager will fetch the player off.
Similar thing about gaining advantage, or rather loseing it. Imagine a high ball comes into the area. The keeper goes up and catches the ball ,on his way down he is knocked over by an opposition player, so the ref gives a foul. So the keeper has gone from haveing the ball in his hands and able to deliver it up field from anywhere in the box to putting the ball down on a certain spot and kicking it up field from the floor.....(dunno) keeper penalised for being fouled...why not let the keeper pick it up if he is fouled in his own area.
If the keeper doesnt roll about the Ref just plays advantage, I have seen it loads of times , and the goalie can do as he pleases.
We have a future FA/FIFA director on our hands. Terrible idea. I mean, absolutely appaulling. Get your application sent in: They'll love you.
