A (hopefully) interesting development in the Championship.
Fed up with the increasing frequency players stay down to get the game halted, Bristol City have emailed the other 23 clubs in the league stating that they will NOT ever kick the ball out if a player goes down.
Manager said 'Sometimes its genuine, sometimes its not. We want the referee to manage it'
So the poor old referee has to make an instant judgement whilst trying to referee the match.
Thoughts and any ideas on how to cut out this gamesmanship/cheating?
