We scored from a corner today! (Sort of)Ours definitely is !!
Do we really need one? We’re the top scorers in the league and we haven’t scored a single goal from a set piece (not even a penalty).That’s why we haven’t got one?
Having an official delegated to manage game time, would free up the ref from having to do a very subjective task - eg only 3 minutes yesterday … I wonder why.
The official time keeper would be directly connected to the time on the electronic scoreboards. You would see whether any shenanigans happened straight away - ball out of play, clock stops.
It wouldn’t take much for uefa/Fa/PL to gather data on how long a football match ‘in play’ time should approximately be. Just add an extra staff member with an electronic stopwatch at each match for a season, they don’t even need to be at the game, just watching the overhead view feed. Collate and disseminate the data, asking for opinions on a chosen time period for ‘in play’ matches, implement it.
Removes uncertainty, ambiguity, bias entirely, whilst relieving the ref of a task, when they are already dealing with extra nuances of rules week-in, week-out.
Only discussion is possibly on when ‘in play’ ends, is that end of game, or play continues till the next dead ball (in net or off pitch - not when a foul/injury etc).
Absolutely no chance of being implemented, as it’s sensible, unambiguous and can’t be manipulated…
