Why is it the way it is?

Tbh, the refs should either be given license to refuse a player treatment or else bring in some sort of rule where if a player is badly enough hurt to need treatment they have to stay off for ten minutes.

That would cut it right down.

Not a chance. Refs have enough pressure deciding if a player dived or handled a ball without having to make on-the-spot medical diagnoses! Can you imagine the carnage if a ref missed out on a non-obvious concussion?

Head injuries are inviolate obv.

The fact that players can be "treated" on the pitch for head injuries and allowed to play on as it stands is completely fcuking insane anyway.

I like it. It cuts down on time-wasting and lets the other players get on with the game.

But players usually get treated on the field, then have to walk off and then back on. It doesn't really stop time wasting atall.

Play is resumed while theyre treated off the pitch, and theyre allowed come back on during a break of play, throws free kicks etc. Also a good referee will usually be seen pressuring the player and medics to move off the pitch as soon as possible, meaning that little if any time is actually wasted.. faaar less than the amount of time a player would take if they were to be treated on the field and they were milking it.

Funny how they didn't ban gambling sites from being shirt sponsers then...

Some countries have banned it as well as alcohol. Not saying I agreed with the shirt off rule, just saying that was what they gave as the reason at the time.

I heard that the yellow card thing was brought in because shirt sponsors were complaining that players were taking off their shirts after scoring and so not displaying the sponsor's logo any more. Makes sense I suppose seeing as celebrations are often shown loads of time and so sponsors would seet this as a prime time for their logo to be blazed across the tv. Its all about the money these days I guess

Didnt 'Boro get Ravanelli to wear a teeshirt with the sponsers name underneath his jersey because of the way he used to pull the shirt over his head when he scored

Freddy Kanoute did, he refused to have the sponser on his Sevilla jersey, so they just gave him a shirt with no sponser on it

Hasn't there been matches where Liverpool played in Jerseys without Carlsberg or any sponsor across the chest?
Something like when Ferrari used to be sponsored by Marlboro but removed the logos depending on what country the Grand Prix was being held in and the laws of the country regarding advertisement of tobacco products.

Didnt that fcuk up snooker a bit too? With cig' companies not being allowed advertise on the televised matches

The situations I mean is when a player get a knock, gets up himself which often happens but as the medical team have arrived he cant just play on.

How often do you hear a commentator say "and he has to leave the field to come back on due to the ridiculous rule"

TangyZizzle

You dont, oddly enough. I dont think Iv ever seen the medics rush on of their own will. Theyre more often than not, signalled on by the player or the ref.

He refused at first and used to put a piece of black tape over it but now he just wears the same jersey as everyone else.
