| The going off for 30 seconds rule 10:20 - Feb 25 with 361 views | Stenvict | Is it mandatory only if you go down with a head injury, even if the physio hasn't come on to the pitch? I noticed away to Sheff Utd, Furlong went down with a 'head injury', but didn't require treatment, but the ref still told him to go off for 30 secs. We were losing at the time, so he wasn't time wasting. I think it the same happened to Matusiwa away at Derby, and it definitely happened to Azon at Wrexham. But last night, Louza makes us put the ball out when we're attacking, only to get up 10 seconds later and stays on the pitch. Is the rule that if you have a 'head injury', you HAVE to be assessed by the physio? |  |

Should only go off if treatment received. Ref was calling physio on multiple times but they didn’t come on, so he sent Azon to the sidelines anyway. O’Shea annoyed me by saying put the ball out - Morsy would never. [Post edited 25 Feb 10:26]
