Arsenal defender goes down injured after being fouled at edge of his own box.
Player doesn't want physio but he's clearly hurt.
Takes a good minute for game to restart with referee waiting for him to get up and limp back into position.

Player didn't have to go off

Precisely my point the other day on another post.
 
Was there any need for the ref to get involved in countdowns yesterday evening? Remember seeing him hurry Arsenal up once with a count.
 
I won't be using the countdowns aggressively. Doing so has the potential to cause unnecessary annoyance. An overly officious referee will quickly become conspicuous. They are there, only for when they're needed

I've had a few nightmares now where the underdogs who happen to be 1-0 up are only taking their restarts when the countdown starts.
They just stand looking at me.

They are saying “please start the count.” Oblige them. The count is going to end faster than if they pretended they were going to throw it in.

Or don't just wait for them to stand and look at you to start the count. Start it as soon as a reasonable team would be expected to start their throw in process. After a few of these they would be reasonable with their TI.

It's like training your furry friend to go out to do their business. You only have to 'encourrage' them a few times, but after that they do it on their own 😉😊, well they may take a little longer but you get the point.
 
@one what are you talking about

I was replying to @Big Cat implying there will be games where you are forced to do the count every time even if you don't want to. As some teams will only restart when you start the count. "they are there only when needed" the 1-0 up underdog who scores on the 5th minute will make sure they are needed every time.

I was talking about what you can do to make sure they are not needed all the time.

If a team who tries to make sure they are needed all the time lose the TI (or lose the ball be ause they had to hurry the TI) a couple times, then they may change their ways 😉
