Frustrated Keane backs crackdown on time-wasters

ROY KEANE has backed proposals to allow physios to treat players on the pitch while play is in progress.

The idea is being discussed by football’s authorities in a bid to clamp down harder on time-wasting and cheating. Sunderland boss Keane says change should be welcomed if it is for the good of the game.

And he revealed watching recordings of old matches still annoys him when he sees players pass back to goalkeepers: “You have to be open-minded if you think it’s going to improve the game for the fans. Letting physios on wouldn’t worry me too much.
