It used to be a common trick to stop the game for a minute or two, hoping to save the current result of the match.Nowadays referee and official timekeeper take care to add the time lost to the game in the end, so it doesn't work as good. Floppers are brought to the outside of the field and can put on whatever show they like; their team will play with one player less.And, of course, it's a culutral thing. Italians do it all the time, while the tough Germans and Brits just continue to play with lacerations and broken noses. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/ponder.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hmm:" title="Hmmm    :hmm:" data-shortname=":hmm:" /></blockquote>
