I'd like to think we will never stoop to this 'goalkeeper scam', {which seems to work}. Besides bringing game into disrepute, could or should be deemed as inciting fans. But imagine if we did the fines and sanctions that would come our way.

If we was winning 1-0, and our keeper went down to take the sting out of the game, and we went on to win, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

As always, don't hate the player, hate the game. Until the rules change, then if teams take advantage of this, then so be it.

I like a good conspiracy, but.

.Surely even Leeds wouldn't get fines and sanctions from Leeds hating authorities for what would be so blatantly discriminatory.

No. this goalkeeping scam needs to be crushed pronto.

Perhaps a rule this summer stating all players must go to centre circle (away from touchline) whilst gk is being treated.



And, 5 points deduction for any club infringing this by still blatantly seeking coaching instructions whilst gk injured.

My solution to the "goalkeeper" problem.

Any injured player who receives "life support" is required to leave the field for a minimum of 10 minutes, including the keeper. The only exception is that the keeper can be replaced by another player / keeper without exhausting the substitution allowance, however, once the keeper leaves the pitch for critical life support, he is not allowed to return to the game. That free substitution would be permanent.

I think that would stop keepers feigning injury.

Alternatively, concrete over all pitches and see how many players choose to throw themselves to the ground [very ruffley!]

In all seriousness, if a keeper is injured, he should leave the pitch for assessment like all outfield players.

As "daft" as that sounds, they really wouldn't feign injuries.

All outfield players to stand in the centre circle.

The modern game is so f*** tiresome and I would hate it just as much even if Leeds tried to exploit it.

Modern / current players, refs, owners, and managers are the current "custodians" of the game, and frankly they are ruining it.

Agreed, Baz. Odd that it's happened twice against us and none against anyone else, unless I blinked and missed it.

If the goalkeeper goes down, the game is stopped no matter what, so the rule needs to be changed to: the game will continue until the ball is out of play or another infringement has happened. Let us see how many keepers now fake injuries, I bet none.

It was ridiculous and sad for the game of football watching this latest episode of blatant gamesmanship (I can't call it cheating, as there is no rule against it) by Chelsea's goalkeeper yesterday.

Their outfield players weren't much better, rolling about as if they had been fatally wounded, then getting up as if a miracle had taken place. I hope my Club never resort to these desperate actions.

It was good to see Farke refusing to comment on it in his post-match interviews, stating that it might sound like sour grapes. So many other PL gaffers would've!

Class from Farke.
