Kicking the ball out because a player is pretending to injured is one of the biggest irritations of modern football. Along with diving and the new trend of taking short goal kicks that have to be retaken because the ball doesny leave the box.

agree, if one your own players is injured and you choose to kick the ball out then that's on you, your disadvantaged with a man down so you choose to even it up by kicking the ball out, the second that happens and the player is treated you have used your advantage so shouldn't expect the ball back

its amazing still how players get into a fit when play goes on when a ref doesn't stop the game for a injury and then when the game stops the players all run like diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicks to the last player who had the ball

everyone will have a 'fair and balanced' opinion on it until its their team that it happens too.

Motherwell shouldn't of done it but they did n nothing came of it in the end

so get it up them

everyone will have a 'fair and balanced' opinion on it until its their team that it happens too.

not really, yday there seemed to be an outcry that micheal owen said if he was klopp he would have told Liverpool at half time to go and kick rashford to test his ankle, personally didn't see what the issue was with that as I would have expected the same if it was a Liverpool player limping around

absolutely not in the same ball park as the not giving the ball back debate

Agree 100% the only person who should control the game is the ref .

well that's you moving the goalposts, you said if its something that affects your team, not all fans wear blinkers

would I be happy to go and test a players ankle out 100%

would I accept it happening against my team 100%

would I be happy if we scored a goal like Motherwell 100% NOT

did I think it was ok for them to do it 100% NOT

My dad used to ref Sunday league and he had something similar happen to him before. Player went down so the opposition kicked it out of play, then when the game restarted they went to give it back to the team that kicked it out, except the player proper leathered it and he ending up lobbing the keeper.

All the players and parents were demanding the goal be disallowed but there's no law that says you have to give it back so the goal had to count

We are very sporting at Dundee. Whenever the opposition kicks it out of play, we give it straight back to them. Most of the time when the opposition give us the ball in open play, we give it back to them. It's very sporting and nice.

But this wasn't the opposition kicking it out but his own side. They gained their advantage by being back to 11 fit men

Motherwell did nothing wrong IMO, Celtic kicked it out so their own player could get treatment, that’s their prerogative but Motherwell are under no obligation to give it back to them.

I think it was more a misunderstanding of how this type of “sportsmanship” works rather any sort of entitlement on Celtics side.

They should adopt the rugby approach and let the physios on to treat them while play continues.

That'd sort out the fakers.

the new trend of taking short goal kicks that have to be retaken because the ball doesny leave the box.

I used to do that. Got the keeper to play it short, but run into the area and touched the ball before it left. Ref blew for it to be retaken. Already taken 30 seconds, wasted another 15 or 20 retaking it.

Game management.

Should be an indirect FK.

I know. Absolutely did it on numerous occasions though.

The player went down holding his hamstring - turns out he’d done his hamstring and limped off - who’d a thot it !

Celtic had the ball when he went down and played it out for a throw - nothing untoward in that. It was poor from Motherwell to play towards goal when the Celtic players just stood wondering WTF

Poor stuff from Motherwell

Except the only team to benefit would have been Celtic. Your player, your decision to kick the ball into touch so your player could either receive treatment or substitute to have 11 men on the pitch.
Now had you done it for a Motherwell player that's a different set of circumstances.
That's what I mean by entitlement, we want a level playing field and the ball as well.

It's not game management, it's cheating. More accurate, only one word, and quicker to type. You should use it in future.
