Lets hope this becomes the norm.
Tired of players using this as a tactical move; which is the case majority of the time.

Which part? Playing with their opposition down a man or players feigning injury to stall play?

This used to be commonplace before excessive simulation made it detrimental.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

For instance, I wouldnt kick the ball out of play in the case of Neymar unless he was literally on fire.

Even then...

I agree with the coach and the posters here.

Keep playing unless the referee deems that play should be stopped. Too many teams & players fake an injury as a strategy to waste time / get the ball played out of bounds to disrupt the other team from building.

Frustrating as a fan to watch a game and have an attack or play get interrupted because some player is rolling on the ground. Only for him to then bounce up and be fine once the ball was played out.

Yes, I was referring to the excessive simulation to stall play.

I don't disagree, and I can't stand players killing the clock with this or lolly gagging for a substitution or whatever. But it's a simple fix of they really want one; stop the clock for injuries and subs. There's no more annoyance band frankly no more "really there's only 3 minutes!" Or "I can't believe there are seven added minutes!".

You're asking the English to 'Count.'

They'll do anything for Love, but they wont do that!

I actually want them to stop trying to count, and just use common sense! I know, tradition and all that will likely kill that idea for years to come, but like I say, it's a simple solution and would be fair for everyone.

That's bizarre. Why in the world would you make that move?

As an Arsenal fan, it would be good to get some defensive help during the transfer window.

Inter Milan have made a fresh bid for Romelu Lukaku worth up to €83 million (£76.7m) in the hope of finally giving the Belgium striker an escape route from his worsening troubles at Manchester United.

Inter are understood to have offered United an initial €70m (£64.7m) with a further €13m (£12m) payable in add ons, a significant increase on the £54m bid they had rejected last month.

that's fantastic business, all things considered. Can't wait to see the back of him after leaking those speed test results and going on strike.

Speed test results? Is that why his twitter feed is on blast?
What’s the history? He went heel quick

somebody called him slow on Twitter or something and he didn't like that. So he tweeted this. Club obviously didn't like it and made him delete it.

Ah, found the deleted tweets. Because he was called slow? Hahah, it’s kind of hilarious.

Shaw, slowest. Yikes.

Oh, I definitely want Pogba right where he is. I mean I would prefer that United beat out others for 4th place, and that's not even a question, but I still want them to be saddled with Pogba.

United haven't brought in a replacement for Pogba. I don't like the guy, but they'd be screwed if they let him go now.

I like McTominay, but he's got a long way to go. Pereira is a backup, Fred has shown nothing so far and Matic is done. It's criminal that they haven't brought in a CM even with Pogba staying ... let him leave and they get dominated in midfield by at least 15 teams.

Lukaku on the other hand will not be missed all that much. I'd rather give the minutes to Greenwood.
