Player goes down injured off pitch

[ladbroke8745]

And then comes back on after a team official in the crowd tells him to go back on and get the game stopped.

The player then stands up, hops back on the pitch, and goes back down again.

I was assistant and saw this occur and told player not to do that but he ignored me and continued.

Ball goes out and ref stops play to allow playerto receive treatment.

I inform referee what I hear and the events that occurred and suggested that it should be a caution for re-entering the field of play, even argued it is unsporting behaviour.

Was I right to suggest this type of action? He ignored me and went back on the pitch to get the game stopped. Everyone knew he was off, including the benches far side.

What did the referee say/do?

 

[ladbroke8745]

The referee wasnt too sure and seemed like they agreed but went over to the player and did not caution as he was being subbed off.

 

[santa sangria]

YHTBT but sounds like you did right and an easy YC.

If you clearly explained, it was probably obvious to everyone that you explained, at which point the ref has done your control and his own match control no favours in ignoring your advice.

 

[ladbroke8745]

For the next 5 or so minutes until the next talking point I had ear ache from the opposing team because the ref didn't do what should have happened, or what they felt should have happened. But I agree. I think a caution was right here.

It’s a difficult one. You can explain to the manager/captain/players a million times but booking a player after they’ve got injured never looks good. But it sounds like the correct decision. You could also argue a booking for delay the restart depending on when he got himself back onto the pitch

Playing the devil’s advocate on this one. Now while I agree, him hopping back onto the field was purely tactical as he was instructed by the benches. Can I ask what will you caution him for? Leaving/entering fop?
If I understood it correctly, him leaving the fop and getting injured in the process was a natural part of play. Then technically he didn’t the leave/re-enter the Fop without permission. And he was genuinely injured, so you can’t really caution him for time wasting. I know how it feels, but if those were the vents as I understood them, then you are really trying hard to find an excuse for YC.

He was fouled on the pitch which lead to a throw in. He went down and rolled a couple of times off the pitch.
Throw in taken with him still down, and everyone knew he wanted treatment, he was instructed to re-enter the field to get the game stopped. The physio could have treated him off the pitch with the game continuing but he chose to slow it down, with his team 2-1 up.
For me, this is unsporting behaviour. I told him he can be treated off the field without needing to go on. But he ignored it.

Sounds like an easy one for entering without permission. He had permission to leave, but not come back on, and clearly cam back on just to fall over and get the game stopped.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here. It isn't only a caution for leaving and re-entering, it's a caution for deliberately entering, re-entering or leaving without permission.

Yeah I misunderstood, a tough sell obviously but should have been cautioned. Take your pick in terms of how you want to classify it. I originally understood that he was fouled as part of play while he was running and ended up outside the FoP which to me meant that he never left the FoP to start with.

Yeah a misunderstanding on my part; I originally understood that he was fouled as part of play while he was running and ended up outside the FoP which to me meant that he never left the FoP to start with.

OP has conflicting information with post #8. OP says he goes down injured off the pitch. Post #8 says he goes down injured on the pitch but then he roles off the pitch. Different scenarios which should be handled differently. I agree with with @Nalbi if the player went down off the pitch as part of normal play, then came back on and went down again.
Last paragraph of Law 13.8: "A player who crosses a boundary line as part of a playing movement, does not commit an offence."

Once in explaination corrected in Post #8 then a caution is justified.

I don't think you misunderstood. It was not explained correctly in the OP and it was only corrected after your original post.

@one great minds think alike!
