...they haven't gone away. VAR tried to alleviate the problem somewhat. But there still seems to be a hell of a lot of gamesmanship. To follow the Jose ManUre-Ho innovation, its especially prevalent whenever a team is leading by a goal. Time-wasting and downing tools for an hour or more.
Its all making the beautiful game boring to watch.
Ashley Young against us. Its All over Europe too.

And ways to stop the problem :
- Award teams 4 points if they trash the opposition 5-0 or better ? Similar to the current bonus-points in Rugby.
- Run the injury-time clock to double if the winning team is having all the injuries. ie 5 minutes of lying on the ground = 10 minutes of injury time at the end of the game. Only applicable to the team that is winning the game - and only applicable if they are still a goal up at the end of the 90 minutes.
- Use statistical software to give a loading to players based upon all their previous behaviours. The Didier Drogba effect.
- Use statistical software to identify managers whose teams have a high 'gamesmanship index'. Do some points-deductions for ten crappy games in a row. The Diego Simeone effect.
- Allow the players to batter each other. Fv.ck it. It is a contact-sport after all. Take a leaf from the Australian-rules playbook.
- Allow the game to continue while injured players roll around the ground - and are tended by medical personnel. As in a true battlefield.
- Allow substitutes onto the pitch for the duration of a fella being treated for injuries.....and said Subs to be removed if the downed player can resume his playing.
- 10 minute sin-bins instead of a Red card. With the Red card being reserved for more serious foul play.
- other ? please tell us......

Ashley Young rising from the diver image
Crystal Palace 1 Man United 2: Ashley Young’s popular – or more correctly unpopular – image is that of a player who dives to ground rather than rising to a challenge, but there is no denying the determination of a man who has transformed his own and Manchester United’s fortunes over the past year.
