Law 5 Clarification

So just making sure I'm doubly/tripley/quadrupley sure on this, because the "explanation" (if you can call it that) for Law 5 contradicts the change. The explanation says this: " An injured player who is treated or assessed on the field of play or who causes play to be stopped must leave and remain off the field of play for one minute (running clock) after play has restarted".

So scenario:- tackle from player, you don't give the foul for example, but player stays down and you try play on, glance over and see he's still down. Blow the whistle to stop play, run over and check he's alright if he wants assistance, if no (and quite often the case), he stands up and is absolutely fine - I then direct him to the touchline and tell him he needs to have a minute off? But if a team put the ball out or the ball naturally goes out for a throw/GK/Corner, he does not need to leave the FOP? And now it's nothing to do with asking or actually receiving any treatment whatsoever?

The only exceptions being the ones listed in the LoTG where I wouldn't follow this.

I think the confusion I am having with IFAB (and again it contradicts itself) is the LoTG say "An injured player may not be treated on the field of play" and then in the same sentence "An injured player who is treated or assessed on the field of play" :rolleyes:

The law says an injured player cannot be treated on the field of play but also lists a series of exceptions. Due to those exceptions, it's very possible that an injured player might legitimately receive treatment.

(Although we also know that injured players who do not meet the exceptions are often treated on the field, despite what the law says).

Ball goes out naturally or they kick out. You ask him if he needs physio/trainer on. If he says yes or if he is avoiding to answer and still staying down, you call physio on and he leaves for 1 minute.

All other parts of your post are sound.

if he says no and they've kicked it out or gone out naturally he doesnt come off..?
and if i've stopped play he goes off for a minute regardless ?

I don’t think the minute thing makes much sense outside the professional level (or high level other matches that have a 4O).

I mean it's not easy to keep count of everything (without going into all the possibilities) but something needed to be done about the timewasting and "fake" injuries to slow the game down. Just annoying this goalkeeper trial announced by ProRef only covers the professional game for now.
 
My fault. Should've double checked Mo Matadar's misspeak/interpretation.

Presumably mixed it up with a substitute, subject to the 1 minute delay, having to wait until a stoppage in play to come on
