Ask for treatment, receive treatment and waste more time than a substitution would have in the first place?If a player's injured he can sit down and wait for play to stop, ask permission to leave the pitch for treatment or struggle on.
Struggle on, cause more physical damage because you don't think he's genuine and the manager is 'trying to pull a fast one'?
Struggle on, and his team concede a goal because they're effectively playing with a man down?
Sorry but I don't accept that that is your role or responsibility to deny permission in these cases.
I'd be looking to deny permission only if a substitute was clearly not ready to enter the FOP, his kit or equipment wasn't correct, he was wearing jewellery, he tried to enter the FOP before the player had left or not at the halfway line.
