No, we pay for 90 minutes of football. I expect to watch 90 minutes of football.Agreed - 60 minutes matches, clock starts when the ball is in play and every team plays exactly the same amount of time.
If you want to watch less football just leave earlier.No, we pay for 90 minutes of football. I expect to watch 90 minutes of football.
60 minutes ball in play will result in more football not less. Some games have been as low as 39 minutes ball in play. Even with 15 minutes injury time yesterday we still didnt get to 60 minutes, and only 1 of the 10 games this weekend had 60 minutes.

Knock some time off and more ways to waste it will be found. Stop the clock, 100% agree, but don't cut the 90 minutes. Imagine how quickly the game would speed up. It would help if the rule was that trainers come on to treat "injured" players whilst play continues. Head injuries and cramp cured in an instant. Don't find ways to shorten the game. Make teams play within the rules.If you want to watch less football just leave earlier.

If you stopped the clock and then played 90 minutes based on yesterday's game we would play approx 163 minutes. That's already too much football, increasing it to that would be farcical.Knock some time off and more ways to waste it will be found. Stop the clock, 100% agree, but don't cut the 90 minutes.

Just like rugby, it’s a disgrace we are kept in the dark.Time should be kept OFF THE FIELD and visible to every fan on the big screen. This subjective “I’ve got a secret” from the ref is complete bollocks in 2025.
If the ref stops the game…Free kick, corner kick, injury, yellow card (which usually comes after the foul), etc…the clock should be stopped…and we should go to 40 minute halves with a 20 minute half time.
Throw ins and keeper possession should be a 5 sec rule. Throw ins should also be taken from where the ball goes out (heresy!!!) as it’s getting ridiculous at times!
Not only would we get more actual “in game” football, but we’d have time for a pint, a pie and a slash AND Pep wouldn’t get us fined for coming out late after every half time!!
Or, maybe he still would?! ;-)

That's the point. Would Arsenal, for example, take half an hour over their come dancing routines at corners, throw ins and free kick if the matches were going to last that long?If you stopped the clock and then played 90 minutes based on yesterday's game we would play approx 163 minutes. That's already too much football, increasing it to that would be farcical.

You don’t have the excuse of being new to football!! : )))
hehe.
No i just think they eitehr need to clamp down on time wasting etc more, or have methods like this to get more of teh mahch time with ball in play. 40 to 70 mins of a game with ball in play is a rubbish number
The other week England had a free kick on edge of box. It took over two minutes to line up wall etc etc. far too longhehe.

Subs.Just stop the clock like they do in rugby league, the solution is so simple.
Rolling substitutions. Why in football, does the player have to be applauded off the field?
Player runs to the touchline, substitute runs on as they cross the whitewash. Every ground has a P.A. system, so the crowd is informed.
Injuries.
Bad injury. Ref holds his hand in the air, and the clock is stopped immediately.
Free kicks near the goal
After 30 seconds from when the offence took place, and the game hasn't been started, clock gets stopped (see above). Sick and tired of teams arsing about over free kicks and time being lost.
Goals
30 seconds after goal scored, clock gets stopped.
Time.
To be done by an independent time keeper, away from the dugouts.
Most important
Action stops at 45:00 and 90:00, thanks to the clock being stopped for the above reasons. Clock, with time ticking down to zero, to be seen by everyone in the crowd.
Football is the only timed sport, where the spectator hasn't got a clue when the game ends....injuries/goals/substitution DURING injury time.
It really is THAT simple

I find the slow walk off and stadium applause of players being substituted a bizarre phenomenon. There’s a player coming on for a reason with the rest of the game still to play, so get off and hurry up about it!Subs.

Fans should do that applause for the players after the game has finished and the players are walking around the pitch applauding the fans in a reciprocal gesture (even though ⅔ of the crowd have often fucked off well before the final whistle).

I think its arbitrary. I dont like that. Consistency is a word you would never use, in a sentence about it. I think it needs standardised. It should be fact.
We have the technology, we can rebuild it.
Won't happen obviously.

Not many would be complaining about the Scousers getting a wee bit extra time in injury time yesterday.End of the everyone benefits from injury time and some more than others so I don’t tend to bother too much about it .
