jrDon Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Has anyone noticed how players dont knock the ball out when an opposition player is injured? :confused: I've conceded a couple of goals when my injured player (a few yards from the goalkeeper) is playing the opposition forwards onside for an easy goal.

taylorsmen Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Some players do kick the ball into touch,seen it many of times tbh,but i know what you mean,also seen some teams that play on when your player is down injured,not conceeded a goal that way yet though (thankfully) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpin Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 It happens i suppose, sometimes teams do play on, and sometimes they pass to a team mate that eventually kicks it out of play, most probably something to do with the actual attribute... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Kaa Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I noticed this. But they only seem to not kick it out when they are on the "all out attack" but normally they kick it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsoluteGenius Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I think it has something to do with a player's personality. One of my best players is described as "Unsporting". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLmichiej Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Will probably have to do with the situation too, when someone gets injured and your in an attack which looks very promising they might play on rather than being a good sports... Just like real life really... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert_Goal_Here Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 It's not even in the laws of the game. I think that people should play on. It's the referee's decision to stop the game. They do on the game, but I'm not sure if it's that common outside of the UK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesleysonck Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I think the referee is only obliged to halt the game in cases involving head injury. In fact, I think players are specifically instructed not to knock the ball out, but to play on. This may only be in Continental competition though, and may also be just a figment of my imagination. Sure it's right(ish) though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I think though, in England at least, 9 times out of 10, players are sporting enough to kick the ball out if they do see someone down and is genuienly injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcormack Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 i think there's a hidden sportsmanship rating which will have something to do with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
