IFAB plans to end time-wasting.

[lefty goldblatt]

I've been saying this for years, and copy Rugby League
Just have a couple of digital clocks in the ground, and when you have
a) serious injury
b) free kick in a potential scoring position
c) booking/sending off
d) over elaborate goal celebrations
e) substitutions, where the guy coming off, is dragging a boulder behind him
etc
The ref simply puts his hand in the air, and an INDEPENDENT TIME KEEPER stops the clock

Transparency for all, and an end to "where the fuck did he get 5 minutes from", as the game stops at 00:00

As the meerkat would say "get it sorted"

Typical example of incompetence
World Cup Final
French penalty went to VAR
From the moment ref decided to use VAR, to player putting the ball on the spot, was over 6 mins, plus there were goals, injuries etc
Amount of added time played was only 5 minutes for the first half.
Just wrong

We had the same against the Dippers in Champs League at home, first half
3 mins for a bad injury
1 minute to deal with a deflated ball

Amount of injury time 1 minute

Just book offenders the first time and they won't do it again. It really is that simple.

Referees allowing players to do it until the 80th minute on is ridiculous and not some weird "law".

exactly.

Barring injuries as they are sometimes hard to decipher if Someone is really injured. Have an independent time keeper for both teams. The team with the least amount of wasted minutes gets an extra point.

When Jose came over he made everyone master the art of time wasting. I remember Chelsea coming to the lane and sitting on an early 1-0 lead. Every throw, goal kick, corner, freekick would be a minimum of 1 minute to do. I should have realised that when he done it to Celtic with Porto

Funnily enough I wish we were better at time wasting when winning by a single goal in the 90th minute. In typical Spurs fashion we never make it easy for ourselves

Tell you what fucks me right off.

Keepers catching a ball and then taking 20-30 seconds before kicking it out of their hands when it’s a law of the game that they have six seconds.

It’s already a law and I’ve NEVER seen a ref blow on it. If they can’t follow through on existing laws then what’s the fucking point?

Stadium clock that stops when the ball is out of play. It’s pretty fucking simple really.

If we played any team managed by Tony Pulis, or had Tim Howard in goal, we would be playing until the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Already alluded to by a few people...stop the clock when out of play...as is done in rugby....surely that wouldnt be too hard to implement

Just this.

Just make it Masters Football rules and do away with throw ins
