oakiecokie said:I`ve been harping on about this type of thing for years now.You never see this in European Cup matches,as for once UEFA,to coin a phrase,are on the ball.
As soon as a ball goes out of play or into the crowd,another ball is immediately passed to the team in control.
The sooner this happens in the PL and all English Cup matches,the better,IMO.Time wasting controlled to some extent.
The problem with that is that clubs used to cheat that system. Remember Everyone going 1-0 against the rags and going around the ground collecting all the spare balls to slow the game down.
