Been thinking about this, but I seem to recall Ian Atkins refusing to be subbed by either Bobby Ferguson or John Duncan around 1986-87-88 time at Portman Road.
Can anyone remember this? I seem to recall Atkins angrily suggesting he wasn't coming off from the centre circle. |  |

I've seen on the BBC sport website that in the final of whatever the League Cup was called in 1991, Man Utd goalkeeper Les Sealey refused to be subbed despite a massive gash in his leg. However, in those days there were no goalkeeper substitutes, so you can see his reasoning.
Man Utd lost.
And to put the injury in perspective, Sealey collapsed on the way to Heathrow the following day as the wound had become infected. He was told that had he got on the plane, he'd certainly lost his leg, and probably died. [Post edited 25 Feb 2019 1:04]

Of course, Les Sealey.
RIP. | |

This whole thing seems to have been blown totally out of proportion.
I thought that Kepa simply thought he was being subbed because of injury - but was insisting that he was fine and not injured. A simple misunderstanding which went too far imho. |  |

Yeah, it definitely wasn't that, despite what the official account says. |  |

It appeared that way at the time, to me. | |

I don't think we'll see Kepa time wasting again anytime soon. |  |

Kind of in agreement.
Although when a c-unit like John Terry says "that was a bit c-unitish" you've gotta think it's pretty bad... |  |

Regardless of whether it was petulance, or feeling able to carry on, Kepa's actions are indefensible.
The manager tells you to come off, you come off.
If he's started to cramp up, what's to say he won't suddenly cramp up as the deciding penalty is struck? | |

Am I insane or did they not in fact show Kepa's number? They were about to sub him and it was obvious but he then told them he was fine. Obvs doesnt excuse his behaviour etc. Sarri reaction was very funny though. |  |

It would appear so. I've seen another image where the number 1 is shown clearer. | |

I think once Caballero was standing on the touchline ready to come on it was pretty obvious who was going to go off but this picture clears up any doubt.
Chris Kirkland was on Five Live this morning and seemed very convinced that Sarri wanted to make the substitution for purely tactical reasons, ie he thought Caballero was a better penalty saver. If that was the case - rather than whether Kepa was injured or not - then it's difficult to see how they can both stay. |  | | |

I wouldn't be surprised if it was tactical. Even without an argument that Caballero may be better at penalties, he would have a better knowledge of Man City's penalty takers based on his time there; he will have faced plenty of penalties from most of yesterday's takers. | |

Why on earth didn’t he just walk over and tell the manager that, instead of both of them getting hysterical. |  |

I imagine that's what precisely what would have happened if it had actually been about him not being injured. | |

I think your half right but i still think that once the board had been held up he should have gone. The Chelsea skipper should have gone to him and make sure he went IMO. Now he has admitted he was acting and in doing so cheating, the powers that be should charge him with bringing the game into disrepute. |  | | |

They absolutely should charge him, yes.
It just seems to me that the media obsession with controversy has made something out of very little. In hindsight, he should have gone to the touchline, whispered to them that he wasn't injured at all, just play-acting and it would have been something and nothing.
Not that I really care. If Chelski want to make themselves look stupid, I'm all for that...

I think the fact he has been fined a weeks wages should tell you enough that this is not what had happened...…….. | | | |

Why didn't the Chelsea physios who tended Kepa say something in their walkie-talkie to the bench before the situation reached the public interest it did? | |
