Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson has told the other 23 clubs in the Championship that his side will not kick the ball out for an injury.
The Robins played on when Leeds midfielder Mateusz Klich went down during their game on Sunday.
It led to heated scenes on the touchline between the two sides.
"Somebody goes down and sometimes it's tactical, because people try and gain an advantage, and sometimes it's genuine," said Johnson.
"We just decided as a club that we're going to make a rule for the 46 games that we're going to let the referee manage the game."
Johnson, who has written to the other 23 clubs in the division, says his side will observe their policy - whether it is one of their own players who is injured or an opponent.
"If the referee sees a head injury he will stop the game but if it's not a head injury he will play on, and our players are coached to play with 10 men in certain environments," he added.
"That's what I was trying to explain [to Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa]. Obviously that's not easy with the language barrier but in the cold light of day we were able to sit and talk it through." [Post edited 6 Aug 2019 21:52]

Good. It'll make the refs in this division grow some balls which they've been lacking . |  | | |

Excellent.
I remember when Manure played at the Liberty.
Barrow had the ball in an excellent position. Darmian was down and Rooney told him to put it out. He did so and immediately Darmian got up and sprinted off.
I hope this leads to this becoming the norm. |  | | |

I always have why has this taken so long?
Over 50% of players down injured are trying to gain an advantage, I would have played on regardless years ago, play to the whistle! | | | |

About time, teams have been taking the p!ss for years.
Be interesting to see the reaction should the Tractor molesters be on the receiving end. |  |

They will probably accept it, they have said so clearly, I think they will all play to the whistle and be trained to not give a shit if any player is down! | | | |

Everyone seems to have changed their tune after Leeds did this last season!
I've been saying the same for years though, stop the match for a head injury, otherwise play on until the ball goes out of play |  | | |

Excellent.
Now we need to sort out those twits who hold their hands up saying ‘sorry’ when scoring against former clubs. |  |

Well done Bristol City
Let's hope this sets a precedent for the rest of the clubs (including us).
No more time wasting or sitting down to get the physio on. If you can walk, then walk off for treatment.
Get on the the bl00dy game. |  | | |

Massive well done to Bristol City - lets hope this is the first step in this policy being changed
The referee should make the decision nobody else |  | | |

About time.
What will be interesting is if an opposition team put the ball out if one of their own players is down, whether or not Bristol City will give the ball back to them. | | | |

Well if they are being consistent then they wont.
if a player puts the ball out City will carry on as if it is their throw in.
Will be interesting if the ref tries to get them to throw the ball back to the oppo as many have been doing of late, |  |

If there has been a genuine injury to a Bristol city player then brizzle should kick the ball back to them by way of gratitude |  |

Call me a cynic but we'll see what they say if one of their players goes down to try and stop play while another team go up the field and score causing Brizzle City to miss out on the playoffs or playoff final. I hope they accept it well. | |

I think Johnson is inferring that his players will not go down to stop play unless genuinely injured. |  |
