Goalkeeper new tactic

[Poppajoe]

Noticed last weekend when we were on top their goalie suddenly goes down, trainer on, team run over to manager for new tactics
Game restarts with changes to their formation
It seems now that if an outfield player needs trainer on they will go off for 30 seconnds but not a keeper so any time the team need to slow game down keeper will need treatment

They did it every time (outfield players too)we looked like we were getting a head of steam up and it's just so obvious

TOugh to allow a game to continue with 10 outfields players.

Far easier to allow it to continue with 9 outfield players and a goalkeeper.

Not sure the solution.

Substitute G/K to come on for 5 minutes and it would stop in an instant.

Law states that injury treatment has to be completed OFF the FoP. The referees need to test players’ resolve and either leave them lying down or (if legitimate) send them to the touchline for treatment. The solution is already there - but referees are not strong enough.

I've often thought that when a player is 'injured', or not as the case is sometimes, the player should be taken off the field.
The manager would soon have him back on his feet.

Goalkeepers are excepted from the requirement to leave the field.

A few seasons ago there was a clampdown by referees against Gareth Ainsworth's Wycombe when data showed that a Wycombe player went down injured very game between 20 and 25 minutes into each half. Need to be vigilant on similar shenanigans by goalkeepers.

Chris Maxwell was the master at doing exactly that for us to relieve the pressure.

I'm surprised teams don't take advantage of another little known rule more, if two players from the same team require treatment, neither of them have to leave the field of play.

Started noticing it in the premier league season - several clubs

Orient definitely did this last week, it was like a boxer using the full count to clear his head before getting to his feet and continuing.
Thing is we only landed the slightest of punches on them!!
Refs will fall for it every time and we will see more and more goalkeeper 'injuries' this season, I'm sure of it.

outfield player to go in goal until play stops again for keeper to come back on

 

[RambleFan]

Notice they've stopped making players go off at the nearest touchline when subbed as well

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Fly keepers. Always worked on our park.

 

[Hillymister]

Simply stop players wandering over to the touchline for "drinks/coaching" when a player is "injured" and needing treatment.
If they do they should be booked and that would stop it.
It's happening far to often these days. 90% of the time it's a tactic to break up play when the other team are having a good spell.

 

[wilson_bfc]

Yeah, but the opposition team benefit from it as well, so there's no real advantage is there??

 

[Lost Seasider]

Temporary keeper substitutions?

Make them a minimum of say 5 minutes, so that the keeper can't just come back on again.

Presumably the team changing tactics is under the cosh, hence why they're changing, the other team likely doesn't want to change tactics when the existing ones are working well, so there's no benefit to them.

There is an exception if the injured party is the goalkeeper, they have to remain on the field of play

A few seasons ago they bought a stretcher on to get the "injured" player off to be "treated" so that the game could continue without delay. But like all other "laws" after a while it was ignored. Bringing that back would stop the time wasting.
