The norm now when a player is injured seems to be for someone to kick the ball out, trainer comes on and the side that wins the throw-in gives the ball back to the other side to a polite round of applause. This seems to happen even when the referee blows his whistle to allow the trainer on.
What was wrong with the old method - which is still in the rules - of the game being restarted with a contested drop ball?

What I do mind is when the ref stops the game and there is an expectation to kick the ball back to the side with the advantage at the time of the whistle. Rubbish. If the ref blows the whistle, then just contest the drop ball for goodness sake.
All this kicking the ball out of play is nonsense though. If the injury is serious, the ref will stop the game as above anyway.

I always liked Jemmos tactic, as opposed to kicking the ball to the opposition goalkeeper, he would if he could, kick it far into the corner as he could, thus putting the opposition under pressure Who was it earlier on in the season, team a through the ball to team b, who kicked it to the goalkeeper of team a (who was not paying attention) only for the ball to go in. From kick off team b then stood aside as team a walked the ball into the net. I think Plymouth were one of the teams.

Yeovil scored it against Plymouth in the Carling Cup. very amusing. The bloke who scored that goal got a hat-trick that night. One from 30 yards, one from 40 and one from 50!
