PLAYERS HOLDING HEAD FAKING INJURY

[HIGHERSTATE]

Authorities can re-watch via a 'highlights' dvd.

 

Anyone blatantly cheating or 'bending the rules' to get a one match ban and a simple fine.

 

Still can't believe our players didn't lose their heads on Saturday

That'll stop the cnvts clutching their heads..

 

If it is genuine, this would be necessary anyway. 

 

 

 

Bloody good idea nice and simple

He's just trying to make sure none of his hair implants drop out.

This is a dangerous topic as any action doesn't want to impact on the actual  serious injuries. But it's being exploited more and more unfortunately. 

 

For me they should leave the field for a mandatory concussion check thus losing the services of a man. Normally you'd think they should be replaced but I can see that being tactically exploited too (say take a striker off for a defender for last 5 mins when all subs made etc) unless it was a foul that caused the head injury. 

 

Although there may be instances where a genuine clash of heads could me a a team is hard done by, it should offset the clear cheats.

 

In my mind this and time keeping is the biggest issues (apart from phase 2 offside). Time keeping should be independent and reduced to a 60 min game with the clock stopped everytime the ball is out of play. Would render time wasting pointless. Plus you'd actually get more game play. Nail these 2 aspects and the game should flow better and discourage cheating.   Of course prob not for long as people always find a loop hole unfortunately.

Oh and the refs should be miked up. Again that should stop the players giving dogs abuse to them and the crowd can hear exactly what's going on. Until players respect refs and the game it will continue. (not that some refs help themselves sometimes).

Wouldn't that start causing opponents to give head injuries out (sounds morally wrong, but if it meant the other side being down to 10 for 5 minutes and getting away with it....)

How do you give head injuries out ?

If legitimate 5 minutes would be well spent for treatment and recovery...

 

Yeah, I didn't phrase it well. I meant his team would be punished during those 5 minutes, being a man light.

That’s no different to any other injury is it?

 

 Don’t they treat on the side lines whilst play continues?..

[latemodelchild]

I said on Saturday when 2 of their players went down simultaneously clutching their heads that they should have to go off to be assessed. 

 

The more I think about it the more this rule would make sense. 

 

If there's a genuine clash of heads, 2 opposing players involved, they both go off to be looked at. Minimum 5 minutes to assess the situation. If its one player involved and a foul is given, the perpetrator stays off until both can return. 

 

This will cut out faking. Any genuine player who gets a genuine head injury needs to be tended to so would want the treatment. 

 

Convince me I'm wrong.

In this day and age, you would probably substitute someone with a head injury 8 times out of 10. 

 

Napoli played their goalkeeper after a head injury and he collapsed...it’s not the done thing anymore. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11095/11668931/napolis-david-ospina-in-hospital-after-suffering-head-injury

This antic is becoming common in matches, as we witnessed from the Fulham player last match.

Watched the world cup rugby yesterday, a player went down holding his head, referee immediately had him leave the field for an assessment.

COULD BE THE DETERRENT FOOTBALL NEEDS TO STOP THESE CHEATS. 

 

Players do  it  knowing full well the ref must stop the game. They use the rules to waste as much time as possible.

If a player is off for 5 mins, the team short would just pass it around the back 6 instead of the back 4, for 10 mins instead of 5 mins.

I'd go one step further - they can't play in the next match be it Cup or League

[jonesy87shef]

It couldn’t be more simple.

 

1. Independent time keeper. 

 

2. Head injury 5 minutes off the pitch to be assessed. 

 

3. Ban players and hefty fines for those found to be feigning injury. Easily done watching back the matches.

 

Honestly no idea why this hasn’t been put in place years ago. It’d cut out so much none sense from the game and discourage cheats.

Still consider that all but the worst injuries should be treated pff the field or on the field while the match carries on. It happens in both Rugby codes.

Same with substitutions. The player being substituted should go off before the sub is  allowed on. This could be governed by the 4th Official while play goes on.

Sorry but our own Mr Fletcher is the absolute king of this. He literally makes me cringe.

I don't think players actually realise how bad this looks on them. Rolling around like handbags holding their heads when the big screen in the ground clearly shows they did get contact but on their shoulders.

Very un-manly they probably pee sat down

[1963owl]

just let the players be treated on the pitch while the game carries on. There"d be nothing in it for a player to fake it

Someone was telling me yesterday they are considering a new rule where an additional sub can be used for head injuries. That won’t get abused will it.  Bloody joke that with Fulham. Did anyone else notice how quickly their players “ recovered” at that drop ball. And they were telling the ref it had to go back to the keeper. Morons. 

It's a wonder he didn't listen to them and award them a free ball. Seemed to do everything else wrong.

I don't know what the perfect solution is, but what i do know is Fulham were one of the most boring passing the ball sideways for 70 minutes, cheating holding their faces, diving, trying to get players booked, faking injuries, god awful teams i have seen down at Hillsborough. I would hate to have a season ticket at Craven Cottage to watch that entitled lot of idiots pass the ball 3 yards all game and think they are playing 'good football'. Teams don't normally get what they deserve, but that last minute equaliser is what they deserved, i lost it when it went in shouting at all the Fulham players that they were cheats and got what they deserved, I'm sure they heard every word.

Love all the adjectives describing Fulham. Pretty spot on. I'd love to know how many times their players went down over the course of the match. I have the full match but I haven't got the time, patience or desire to watch those cheating feckers for another 90+ minutes.
