Additional time

[urban genie]

Independent time keeping and stop the clock. It works in rugby which is a similar game so why not.

You would probably have to change the halves to either 30 or 40 minutes long is normally the arguement against.

I have advocated the stop the clock method myself, but seen this reason given a few times

Let's see how long it lasts for...

Night games should all start at 7:30pm if this rule is in

Early leaving on a night game I get but leaving early on an afternoon kick off isn't something I would do.

Saying that, it's no busy cunts business if anyone does or not.

Need to up the number of subs allowed to 11. Flogging the players to death these fuckers.

Usually one game (ours), like the new holding in the area rule.

It will be a precursor for introducing 3 playing periods of 35 mins each.

I wouldn't advocate stopping the clock for everything but certainly for injuries, goal kicks and free kicks. The amount of time wasted when there's a free kick awarded near the penalty area and subsequent farting around setting up the wall is ridiculous. They're young men in their twenties and shouldn't need to take multiple breathers in a game playing twice a week max. The guys in rugby league are relentless.

It happens in all sports. I can recall people drifting away from a speedway match after heat 14 with the result dependant on the last heat. A home win, an away win, and a draw were all possible.

Should be beneficial to us - if we're winning we're usually controlling a game (and we've got the quality to hit teams on the break), if we're not it gives us extra time to get a goal.

That said - think it's for red cards, goal celebrations etc? Whereas it was taking ages on throw ins that lead to our home game against Everton being so short of playing time this season? Maybe they need to address that and the time taken for goal kicks etc at some point?
