When did refs stop demanding that players leave the field for treatment... the FA guidance on injuries is:
"The Laws of the Game and FIFA instructions indicate that any player requiring treatment must be given such treatment off the field of play, with the least delay possible being made in the progress of the match."
but it seems now that a player goes down and the game stops until his treatment has finished. Going back to getting players off the pitch for treatment would be a great start in cutting down this dead time during games.... |  |

Maybe the best idea would be for the ref not to summon the physio but call the stretcher bearers to remove the player to a treatment area! |  | | |

Especially last night when the player rolled back onto the pitch when ‘injured’!! | |

Maybe the team who committed the foul should also have to go down to ten men while the injured player is getting treated. It seems unfair you should get an advantage for kicking someone. |  | | |

The point of the regulation to is to try and stop players going down with ‘cramp’. I think, if an opposition player is booked or sent off for the challenge, then the receiving player doesn’t have to leave pitch. | |

They did that in the 2012 Euros. Opening game a Greek player went down late on and the stretcher was immediately on the scene. Of course as soon as he saw it he tried to get up but the physios basically threw him on there and rushed him off.
He was straight up once off the pitch and ready to come back on. Not sure it happened many more times during that tournament after this incident, meant it worked well. [Post edited 19 Apr 2023 14:42]

I think he realised he couldnt get away with that as he did decide to get up without being treated. |  |

Always been that way, little bit of treatment on the pitch then go off for a bit more if needed.
Don’t have to go off the pitch if 2 go down at once also. |  |

That is what happens, but as per the OP it's not what the Laws Of The Game says should happen.

The two down exception should only be if two players from the same team collide. | |

Some easy changes to ensure football is played over 90 minutes with minimal delay
Players down injured.. physios on and play carries on around it. If stretcher needed. Play stops but player has to be subbed.
Throw ins. 10 seconds to take the throw otherwise other side gets a freekick
Corners. 15 seconds. Same rules.
Goal scored. 15 seconds then alarm sounds. Random ball kicked somewhere on the pitch for game to continue no specific kickoff. Just for fun.
Goal kicks... 10 seconds. If not taken. Indirect freekick given.
Keeper with ball in hand. 6 seconds. Otherwise indirect freekick given.
Job done. |  |

People still seem tyo think if a player goes down, while play is continuing, you should kick it out. NO!
The rule now is, it is up to the ref to do it, and he'll only do it if its a head injury (or presumably a bad injury like a broke leg or something).
I would like the players going off at the nearest edge when subbed being used more too. | | | |

Come on. You don't seriously think these are "simple" changes. the last one is a bl00dy rule anyway, just not enforced.
However, timings are fine but no way would they be that little time. Also as with the last rule, would it really be enforced. I think not. | | | |

Is the 6 second rule still a rule?
I think the others are doable. maybe 10 seconds is a bit quick, but 20 seconds even can easily be timed by the officials.
Something has to give. Like throws when drying the ball first... what the hell! | |

i actually counted how long their keeper in the 2nd half had it and it was 10 seconds.
I know what a sad case! |  | | |

I think its due to the fact if its a genuine injury, the ref hurry the player off the pitch and it potentially worsens that injury.
The best way forward in my opinion is for the clock to be stopped for injuries. | | | |

I take what you're saying, and of course at some level I agree with it. Often people do seem to be just breaking up play . (I would like to ask a professional player (retired maybe) how much some of these tackles really hurt and how much good the 'sponge-person' can actually do.)
Sometimes a player gets kicked and the offender doesn't get a card. Early in a game players take it in turns to kick the opposition's star man.
Goalkeepers are never going to be told to go off for treatment. But if a central defender has to go off while a team is defending a corner, it could be costly.
If a ref thinks a free-kick should be awarded, (s)he has obviously seen an offence, - maybe not a worth a booking,(it's even possible to foul someone accidentally) but an offence anyway. Why shouldn't the 'sinner' go off the pitch for a while as long as the 'sinned against'? This would make it more reasonable for the ref to tell the injured player to go off, because (s)he wouldn't be putting that player's team at such a disadvantage.
if there was no offence (e.g. if a shot hits a player smack in the face), then of course only the injured player goes off. | | | |

It's an agreement between the players to kick the ball out if someone pulls up injured, the ref will only stop play if it's a head injury or if it's a foul where he'll stop play anyway, this agreement needs to stop, if a player pulls up injured or has cramp then he either leaves the field of play or the game continues around them. |  | | |
