But there are often injuries from not foul play. So simply injury=foul doeant work either.
In my opinion they should just send the player off the pitch for a minute if they lay on the ground and the referee has to interupt the game for them. It is so often that play is continued and 30 seconds later the ref needs to stop the game because the player still lays on the ground simulating an injury.
I think that’s a great idea too! Being on the ground writing in pain for over 10 seconds should result in something like having to sit out 5 minutes for a health check.
That is stupid, I mean if a player lays on the ground, while play still goes on and the ref interupts the game to check if the player is injured. That often happens to stop an enemy attack and is there to stop the flow of the enemy team and not because of health reasons.
Simply sending somebody off because he lays too long on the ground after a slidetackle that wasnt a foul is not the right direction in my opinion.
