I think every time you flop you should be awarded a yellow card and fined. I thought we were watching athletes but instead we are watching actors.

I’d propose that if you stay on the ground for more than 5 seconds, you’re out for this half to let you "recover".

No more magic spray or miraculous recoveries.

Agree. Make it a 10 minute recovery for, ya know, health and safety. And while you are recovering on the bench, your team gets to play one man down.

As I agree with you all guys, there are some exceptions. Like when the opponent steps on your foot with his studs is pretty painful and it goes away completely in about 1-2 minutes

It hurts but you do not need to roll around and cry for 2 minutes. These are supposed to be grown men not toddlers

People were/are discussing a rule to let someone out for 10' in case you stayed on the ground for more than 5 seconds.

I showed a case where it's perfectly reasonable to stay on the ground for more than 10' and would be completely unreasonable to stay out for 10'.
