Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 3742318, member: 3609"] Players are legitimately hurt on some of these fouls, no question. What I'd like in soccer when a player goes down is for the referee to signal that the trainers can come on the field and then the 4th official takes out a stopwatch in one hand and raises the other over his head. After 2 minutes he signals to the referee and the guy comes out of the game for at least 2 minutes of game time and can't reenter until play allows him to. The biggest thing is that FIFA needs to recognize that this is the 21st century and organized teams have the capability to stop the clock on the scoreboard. The concept of stoppage time is beyond stupid. Stop the darned clock when the trainers come out on the field or when the ref is booking someone. [/QUOTE]
