Time wasting.

Would just have more teams wasting time for longer. Wouldn’t put a stop to anything.

There just needs to be a countdown clock for all goal kicks, throw-ins, free kicks and corners and if the hooter sounds after 15 seconds as the ball hasn’t been put back into play, the opposition get the ball:

At a goal kick the opposition get a corner
At a throw-in the opposition get a throw-in from the same place
At a free kick the opposition get a free kick from the same place
At a corner the opposition get a goal kick.

If there’s an injury, play just carries on. It happens in rugby. At A&E you can wait for five, ten, fifteen hours at times before being seen so these cheating game-ruining **** footballers can wait until the next break in play before being treated and they all have to stay off the pitch for a full injury assessment before being cleared to come back on. If that takes ten minutes for a head injury assessment, so be it.

Football has become a shit sport and it needs sorting out. If it weren’t for City, I wouldn’t watch this sport. It’s boring these days. Get it sorted out for fuck’s sake.

All for this. The countdown clock is a great idea.

And the treated for injuries on the pitch is fine as well, it separates the actually injured from the blatant cheating cunts.

Yep a countdown clock is a good call.

Quite simple when you think about it!

And it works very well in rugby league. The countdown clock was introduced in 2019 for goal-line dropouts and scrums, and there’s no fucking about because if the time runs out it’s a turnover of possession. The ball is in-play more in rugby league than any other code of football.

Football is caught between being far too arrogant and insecure at the same time. It’s too arrogant to go to what they consider to be lesser sports to learn things but too insecure in not wanting to be shown how they’re doing things wrong.

There’s a REALLY easy way to stop time wasting.

Yellow cards come out at ANY POINT during the game where a player is time wasting, it’s quite straightforward.

Just as a cynical foul at any point during the game results in a yellow, so should time wasting.

Yellow cards for keepers in the 91st minute winds me up rotten, what’s the points.

Winds me up nearly as much as Ederson getting a yellow in the 35th minute.
The worst part about the yellows in the 91st minute is the ref walks all the way over to the keeper to do it, then doesn’t let the keeper take the kick until the ref is back in position. So books him for time wasting whilst doing it for him
 
Even the nfl have it for the snap. Ten seconds from when the keeper places the ball down for a goal kick and for a throw in. That would save twenty minutes a game

You can only really have a stop clock in games that have the general time clock stop/ starting. Couldn’t really work in football at present as they’d still be no set time for how long it takes for the ‘keeper to retrieve the ball and get round to placing it.

I was saying when the ball is placed or in the throwers hands not whilst he is retrieving it although ball boys and girls are primed to time waste judging by what I’ve seen
 
I once reffed a County Cup Sunday league game between a 2nd division team & the team who always won the league & usually got to the final. The under dogs took the lead & then went onto waste time constantly. The champions then equalized in the 89th minute. However, I then indicated 9 minutes of injury time. And almost on time the 2nd division team, who had spent the whole game wasting time, scored the winner. Therefore benefitting from their own cheating
There wasn't a lot you could have done about the 2nd division side scoring but you did the right thing in adding the time on at the end if the match.

I understand what your suggesting. It would just all be a pointless whilst there’s no set time from when the ball goes out of play until the stop clock starts.
 
Look at the free kick we had on the edge of the box when Grealish was dragged back. From the whistle blowing for the free kick to Foden actually striking it was around two minutes. No reason why once the whistle was blown the clock can't stop until the whistle is blown for the kick to be taken

It’s simple common sense isn’t it, but football as a sport seriously lacks that.
 
I think if a player goes down with a head injury he should have to go off the pitch and be fully assessed. Would stop these fake head injuries. Players know now that the ref has to stop the game for head injuries.

HIAs are 15 minutes long in rugby league. Bring that in and it would put a stop to the cheating cunts in footy rolling around holding their faces/heads.
