Any time a stretcher
enters the field of play then it's ten minutes before the player can
re-enter. After all any real injury that would require a stretcher would
likely take that long to administer aid. A substitution for the player could
obviously occur immediately.
That would actually work. No need for yellow cards. Team-mates would soon encourage their "injured" comrades to get up if it meant they'd have to cover for them for the next 10 minutes.
 
I'd also forbid any player except the captain from talking to the referee. Any attempt to pressurise the ref (as Ronaldo did) would be an instant yellow.
 
And the "card gesture" would also merit an immediate yellow.
 
Game needs cleaning up from this tiresome, petulant shite.
