Over the last couple of games I have noticed a shift with referees in that if a player goes down injured then they call the physios straight om. It happened on Tuesday night when a Charlton player, and it happened yesterday when O'Shea went down. In O'Shea's case he got up without any treatment, had a bit of an argument with the ref and had to go off the pitch for the mandatory minute just as he would if he had been treated on the pitch.
On Tuesday, the ref also penalised the CHarlton jkeeper for holding on to the ball too long and awarded us a corner.
These two developments seem to be designed to combat timewasting, at long last. I just hope they are not the sort of initiatives that are enforced for a couple of weeks then forgotten. |  |

Could have done with that approach when every Derby player got 'injured' at least twice each in the second half a few weeks back..... |  |

Yes, that would have been helpful. Maybe they would have found the will to play football. | |

The referees are required by law to show a visual countdown for the last 5 seconds of the keeper holding onto the ball so hopefully that means this one will last. To be fair, it has speeded things up with goalkeepers no longer holding onto the ball for 20+ seconds. [Post edited 26 Oct 12:20]

Ampadu got an accidental forearm to the face FROM THE REFEREE on Friday night.
Still had to go off for 30 seconds in case he was faking it.  |  |

Was the O'Shea one because the ref believed it to be a head injury? I assumed there must be a law in place to say that if it's a head injury an outfield player has to go off regardless. Bit daft that he wasn't forced to get treatment if that's the case though. |  | | |

The goalkeeper 8 second rule seems to be slipping already in the prem, on MOTD last night a keeper held on to the ball for 13 seconds before the corner was given. The ref yesterday did not start counting the Baggies keeper time wasting until the crowd started it for him! |  | | |

A commentator last season said that the average premier league keeper held the ball for 30 seconds, the longest was 40 seconds. | | | |

Haha that game came straight to mind for me too. Still can't believe Eustace's bare faced cheek to moan about the time added on, it was worse than watching Italy with a 1-0 lead, needs eradicating from the game. |  | | |

In that match it would have been handy if the ref knew that players who deliberately stamp on another player should be sent off. |  | | |
