I guess it's semantics. What's the difference between a block and an interception? Still less than 9.15m away. Just a personal perception I guess.

The player can stay on the field of play if he/she was injured as the result of a physical offence for which the opponent is cautioned (yellow card, YC) or sent off (red card, RC) and the assessment/treatment is completed quickly. Otherwise, the player must leave the field of play

Why was the goal allowed, their player was nowhere near 10 yds away. It is not up to Smith to wait until he is 10 yds away. He unlawfully intercepted a free kick! Why did Vale.ayers not create with Ref?! Also why did Garrity get told to leave field when the foul on him resulted in a yellow card. Players don't have to leave! Bit baffled and Ref appears to be getting away with bad mistakes, and Vale.players not picking up on it.

Sadly little point in criticising any more. Carol has nailed her colours to the mast of her choice. Sadly it flies against what most Vale fans are seeing on and off the pitch. Vale fans are not fickle, they are hard-working, honest and true to themselves. Nothing like the product being offered to them on the pitch. The little we've seen so far proves that the issue was never the manager. It's higher up than that, but no one there will acknowledge it.
