you confidently replied, 'it was a 'fifa rule' to be carried out on a stretcher'...i was just letting you know it wasn't...
Couldn't agree more, but...:

You made it sound like when a player is injured, and that happens quite often, he should be not taken out of the field, just let down there to suffer, like it's his fault that he got kicked.
My point is: faking an injury ir's not fair-play. But brutality has no place on a football field, and an injured player should be removed asap from the field to get treated. Point. And I don't know if you know that faking an injury is punished by yellow card in the football game. So its ref's job to check if the player is really injured and if so, he's disposing player's removal from the field. Maybe you are closer to the game and more qualified in checking players' injuries then a FIFA trained referee ...End of discussion.
