Injury Law

[spy]

Can any of you officianado's tell me, there was a rumour going around at the weekend that the treatment of injuries on the field of play has changed and that the player is no longer required to leave the field of play, any truth? or wishful thinking ?

[Mewcenary]

Almost true. A change was brought in for this season in that if two players from the SAME TEAM are injured ("Where was the call?!") and need treatment, they do no need to leave the field of play.

[Ian_W]

Yes and no

 

As far as I am aware the only change is that if two players from the same team collide and both require treatment, they will not be asked to leave the field of play as this would give too large an advantage to the other side.

Does it not also apply if a goalkeeper and opposition player collide and both require treatment?

[johnnojudo]

Yes and no

do the players from the same team have to have collided (as Ian says) or is it just 2 players from the same team get injured (as Mewcenary says)??

 

Which one??

Yes and no

Clear as the proverbial MUD. Get it right fellows.

Exceptions to this ruling are to be made only when:

• a goalkeeper is injured

• a goalkeeper and an outfield player have collided and need immediate attention

• players from the same team have collided and need immediate attention

• a severe injury has occurred, e.g. swallowed tongue, concussion, broken leg
