Guest mrbluesky Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Seems its got worse at Hillsborough this season could we go the way of Rugby letting the physio come on while balls in play to treat the player also in turn these players that feign injury would think twice about staying down, It wont happen i know but you never know.

scram Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 The difference with rugby is that their teams have several medics/physios dotted around the pitch so the nearest one can run on Be quite something for most football clubs to supply 4-6 physios for each match - that's 2 -3-4 timesthe amount of physios most clubs have. Also football being what it is it wouldn't be long before it was being used tactically with a bunch of physios on the pitch to "attend" to an "injured" player - and that's before we get onto the safety aspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would work perfectly well in rugby and no reason why it wouldn't in football - 'injuries' would soon die out once players got used to the fact that the game wouldn't stop. The Owls players are just as bad if we take the blue & white tinted glasses off. Nearly every player playing at all levels goes down with his hands to his face and/or holding his head in agony, only for the trainer / physio to come on and treat a leg injury. Cheating, whinging lobbers - rugby players just generally get on with it, no matter how hard the impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 It's not just international rugby at all - it's in top class rugby which is their version of our professional game - seriously they have much more medical support than all but the richest football clubs A good mate of mine is just one of several physios at Leicester Tigers and i know quite a few people at Wasps - they pay way more attention to sports medicine than football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ukpetes31 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I think when the phisio has treated the player he should come back into play from the halfway line, to stop any unfair advantage, same as substitutes. Player might think twice if they have to spint 30 metres to get back into position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 The ball quite often moves from one area of a football pitch to another very quickly in football in a way that it doesn't often in rugby. An injured player being treated by a physio is likely to get in the way of the action before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 So you think Wasps and Leicester spend more money on sports medicine than a club like Man Utd, don`t think so, No - i don't think that as Kivo pointed out But i'd bet any money that the big rugby clubs spend more on sports medicine pro rata than any football clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
