1. The ref should be the judge of if an injury is in need of medical attention and if they cannot make that call they err on the side of caution (annoyingly this is overlooked by this whole "kicking the ball out" malarky). The ref also has a duty to ensure all players are fit to continue and should order them to leave the field of play if not.
Get the physio on ASAP and book the manager. If he persists, red card. If the player is Wheelchair, feign surprise.
2. I think this happened in a Middle Eastern game and the player got booked.
3. Yellow card for foul languge.
two stages to 2 aren't there, he does deny a goal scoring opportunity as he stops the ball, that he then scores an OG is irrelevant
On related note to 1. I've seen it quite a few times (both when I've been playing and on TV) where after a corner or when there is a goal mouth scramble or something that a striker steps off the pitch next to the goal to avoid being offside. I have never seen anyone booked or warned for doing it.
but, what is the actual interpretation of that rule?
doesnt it more refer to players abandoning the game, or leaving the pitch for a more permanent period of time? players fall out of the pitch's boundaries all the time without the referee's permission. they never get booked for this. would like to hear what a qualified ref has to say on this, if theres one on the forums

The key word in the Law is "deliberately", leaving the field of play whilst running, tripping, falling etc is not deemed deliberate.
On a side note it happened to me many years ago when I was still active, a defender left the field of play after a corner had been half cleared so the strikers would be offside, the attacking team scored and the defenders appealed for offside, I allowed the goal. After a quiet word with the defender who stepped of the field of play and his captain I suggested that they should accept the decision as I would otherwise ahve had to enforce Law 12 above and cautioned the player for leaving the field of play without my permission and, of course, cautioning for re-entering without my permission. The defender then said "I seem to remember part of my foot WAS on the pitch when they scored so he wasn't offside".
haha thats a good annecdote. i was once thinking of doing something similar myself before i found out that it wouldnt work after asking a referee. but, would a player have to be booked (technically), if he left the field without consent for treatment to an injury? or if he quickly left the field for a quick drink whilst the play was occuring at the other end of the pitch?
