Injury idiocy

F365 report a suggestion by referee's chief, Keith Hacket, to remove the fouler from play until the foulee finishes receiving treatment.

In an ideal world, it's a decent suggestion, but there are so many dodgy play-acters out there, that this would just encourage them.

Take this extreme example - Man Utd vs Chelsea, where Man U need to win to win the league, and Chelsea just to draw. 3 minutes to go, it's 1-1 and Man Utd are chasing the game: Rooney tackles Drogba who feigns injury, both go off; Ronaldo tackles Malouda, who feigns injury. All of a sudden, Man Utd have lost their two most potent attackers.

What I'm trying to do with the post is show that, while it's a decent idea, think it through before you mouth off. There are other counter-examples - 20 minutes to go, still getting "treatment".
