Unofficial timeouts

in General Charlton
Should they be made official? Should they be banned? Are they fine? Is one per game per team allowable but any more and the keeper gets a yellow? What if the keeper's really injured? I haven't seen a team do the 'keeper injury timeout' more than once in a game, that would be a good test of the ref if they tried it...

    Saw the ref go over to Whitworth laughing as he knew exactly what he was doing. Can’t have too many complaints given Mannion did the same second half. No idea what the solution is, maybe give managers the chance for one timeout a game?

    Timeouts? Are people serious?

    Why not go the whole hog and split the game into quarters, have cheerleaders and some bloke on an organ Drum playing goal music?

    What's the difference between a timeout and going down for a fake injury oh yeah nothing

    Think if keeper goes down the captain has to go off for 30 secs as an outfield player would if injured.

    I don't think that would be a deterrent, make it a red then probably.

    3 yellows in a season results in a touch line ban. Jones has already been on one of those this season when he had to sit up in the stands away at Barnsley

    Just let the ref use his common sense. If the goalkeeper is obviously faking - as both the Exeter ‘keeper and Mannion were yesterday -  then mandate that they need to be subbed. 

    That would end it and, if the ref makes a mistake once in blue moon and keeper really is injured, the worst that happens is an injured player gets subbed off. 

    I really think the Football League & FA need to prioritise this issue, it’s really ruining the enjoyment of the game.
    To be fair to Mannion the slow motion showed that there was a high foot to the vicinity of his chest before he went down. However, there was a “time lapse” between the high foot and Mannion going down!

    Players never used to leave the pitch whilst a game was going on. Only started happening in the Covid season when the leagues restarted in June & water breaks were allowed due to the hot weather. Then Thomas Franck brought out his whiteboard & from then on anything goes.

    It should be mandatory that players are not allowed to leave the pitch. If they do they are not allowed back on until at least 30 secs have elapsed from the restart. 
    This wouldn't help at grounds like The Valley. The manager could stand on the edge of his technical area, the players could still be on the pitch, and they would all be close enough to still communicate.

    At some bigger grounds, yes, it would have some impact, but not at most grounds.

    Keepers should not be excluded from the 30 second penalty. Simple.

    Immediate fix:
    goalies requiring on pitch ‘treatment’ have to leave the field for 30 seconds post ‘treatment’ same as outfield players 
    unless there’s actual blood or tooth or lens loss
    This pisstake rule bending gamesmanship would stop immediately 
    Yesterday’s timeouts were transparent and it’s ruining the spectacle

    This is the simplest idea and far easier to manage than trying to herd all other players away from the touch line

    This.
    I’d bring this in and also a rule similar to the concussion sub where if you have to sub your keeper, the oppo get an additional sub opportunity.

    Make the teams responsible for the break play for five minutes without their captain,  difficult to police correctly but something is needed. 
  • GribboGribbo
    Said it the other week in one of the match threads; it's one thing the player going along with it and going down, but for physio or even a Doctor in some cases, to kneel down and pretend to treat a made-up injury, is something else.

    Made me laugh yesterday, there was a fella down in front of us losing his shit when their keeper went down. He wasnt so bothered when Mannion did exactly the same thing in the second half though 😂🤣

    That's going to make throw-ins tricky.

    I think that could be counter productive because, in theory, the keeper's team could nominate someone to go in goal for those 30 seconds and because of that a shirt swap would have to then take place. The ball would then kicked out by that team as soon as 30 seconds are up and there would have to be another shirt swap. That is time that would never be added on because, as we know, it isn't for all stoppages.

    However, I do agree that this has to be stopped. So, I would suggest that an outfield player, nominated by the opposing captain, should spend the same period of time that the keeper was down for (a minimum of 30 seconds) unless the keeper ends up being taken off immediately in which case it is a straight swap. Imagine Alisson going down "injured" today and City nominating Salah or, perhaps, VVD which could be even more detrimental to Liverpool.  

    That said, I do feel that something else needs to be addressed - it seems somewhat unfair on the team that has had a player fouled, and injured as a result, that they are the ones that have to play with 10 players. So I would also keep the player that perpetrated the foul, for the same period of time, off the pitch too.

    Timeouts should be kept for games played in extreme heat .. time wasting needs to be penalised by DIRECT free kicks, if a keeper is delaying taking (e.g.) goal kicks, the kick should be awarded just outside the penalty area .. issue of course is that one man's time wasting is another's legitimate tactic, unfortunately some change to the laws will be needed to maintain consistency of 'enforcement'
