@one They're saying the play would have to stay off for a minute as the player caused play to be stopped. My assumption was always that stoppage was meant to mean a non-injury stoppage, and despite their parsing they didn't mean for voluntarily leaving to be an exemption after play was...

Was expected this answer. My question "Good Afternoon, The referee stops play for a suspected serious head injury ie restart will be a drop ball. When the whistle goes the player jumps straight back up and voluntarily leaves the pitch. Does the one minute off no longer apply as the player...

@MuffledWarbler Saw a Step 3 goalkeeper saying the referee had told him the count starts when the ball is put down.

The procedure is there for all referees. The majority of referees you can barely hear on a football pitch. Doubly so for the ones who say "I like to talk". So the whistle to draw attention to you is a necessary evil overall. If some refs are doing it and others not there's going to be...
