Sh1thousery and anti-football - surely something needs to be done? 06:34 - Sep 14 with 543 views | LegendofthePhoenix | The levels of sh1thousery seem to be reaching unprecedented levels. The Derby match 2 weeks ago was probably the worst, most unenjoyable match I've been to. If football is going this way, tens of thousands maybe more will just get fed up and stop going. A 5-6 hour round trip and all the sacrifices you make to support your team, to have a horrible experience of no entertainment, just cheating and play acting, it just doesn't add up. (yes I know we did a bit of it last year with Chappers sitting down at various intervals). McK has said on a few occasions about ball in play time, i.e. matches requiring e.g. 60 mins of ball in play. Other alternatives that like rugby, the trainer can come on the pitch to attend to a player whilst the match continues. Or retrospective match analysis and sanctions against players deemed to have been feigning injury. Any other ideas? |  |

I don't think any other system works - trainers on the pitch certainly wouldn't in football and retrospective analysis would be too subjective and open to fkn legal challenges. However, I'd licence Norwich to do it if they can keep stealing points off our promotion rivals this season. |  |

I don't see why physios on the pitch wouldn't work in football. It works well in rugby which is much faster moving game than it used to be. 4th official to control their entry to the playing field. |  |

And perhaps the main thing about allowing physios on during play is the deterrent effect. A player sitting on the ground whilst play continues is only going to happen when it's genuine. |  |

Mainly because rugby is a much more linear game where players and ball are generally moving in one direction together. There would be a lot of collisions with trainers and downed players when, for examples, you're a centre back backtracking under a header, or the ball's getting across the pitch or back and across. |  |

You would very rarely see physios on the pitch as players would not go down so easily, especially defenders in their own half who effectively would play the opposition onside. You only see it in rugby at most once or twice a game if that. Risk of physios causing interruptions to play is minimal as a result. There’s about 7500 square metres on a football pitch on average, and an injured player / physio would take up less than 0.5% of that. Based on recent games I have watched, physio attention is not required for 95% of players they have been coming on to attend for as within moments of getting “treatment” the player is up and moving again with no ill effects. |  | |  |
