Today, referees will be deciding whether to stop play or not, for perceived injuries to players on the field of play. Regardless of how serious either side think the injury is.
Gone is the ridiculous rule of football players having to police themselves in the middle of a match.
♠ If a player is injured during open play, the referee will decide stop the match with the whistle if he deems it necissary, otherwise play continues.
In 1999 Arsenal & Sheff Utd replayed a league cup match because the ball was not returned to Sheff Utd from the throw-in, after the Sheffield Utd kindly kicked the ball into touch to allow thier own goalkeeper to get treatment.
The ball was thrown in, Arsenal scored through Marc Overmars to record a 2-1 victory, but Arsene Wenger and David Dein insisted the match be replayed. Such nonsense will stop as of today in the leagues.
The twist in the script is this new rule will not count for international football matches - yet.
