Time wasting

[Stephen230]

I quite like the rugby idea of letting the trainers come on during play while the game goes on, for all but serious looking injuries.

Can’t really think of any obvious downsides. There’s a few ridiculous theoretical situations like them saving a shot but in practice, I can’t really see any. Maybe the 4th official will have to give the nod, so they don’t come charging on right in front of a player.

So how many fewer cases of last five minute cramp there magically is if play is carrying on around them.

Not to mention that teams would still delay goal-kicks, roll around on the floor when tackled, get the stretcher-bearers on for a touch of cramp, and make 95th-minute substitutions even if it didn’t waste a second: the breaking up of play is the key element, and it’s that the officials can come down on like a ton of bricks and still squeeze in those all-important betting adverts.

At half time instead of watering the pitch, City should blast out shards of broken glass. They won’t be rolling around like twats for long after that.
I also like the idea of pop up barbed wire anywhere a time wasting fucker hits the deck.

This,game management from teams especially if they are leading or drawing against us,it’s also apart from running the clock down it can break the teams momentum..

This exactly. When we equalized at Newcastle, we had the wind in our sails. Then almost immediately, Pope abruptly went down for 2-3 minutes as if he had torn a muscle. And predicably made a miraculous recovery once the trainer had massaged every part of his leg about a dozen times.

There’s also a rule in rugby league where the referee will send someone to the “injury bin” with a green card from his pocket.

RFL to introduce green card to stop games being slowed down

The RFL is set to introduce a green card for referees in a move to combat games being deliberately delayed when players receive treatment.

The refs are often heard saying “we’re trying to play a game of rugby here, off you go”.

Players have to have a 2 minute injury assessment off the pitch.

Yeah, I’m a rugby league fan but I’m not sure that would really translate to football with any great benefit. You see refs now trying to usher players off the field to be treated, which is effectively the same thing and it normally takes them that long, it doesn’t really save any time. The difference in rugby is the player is normally wanting to carry on and the ref is insisting they can’t, with blood involved. In football it’s usually the opposite.

Not sure how that would work for real injuries, but it would surely cut out the faking. So it's a yes from me :)

Yes it was ridiculous at Elland Road last night, needs calling out more often until something is done about it.

They had the same ref at Leeds (Darren England) we had against Palace. The rules should be the same as an outfield player, a warning then a repeat or two means a yellow card then if repeated time wasting again, a red.

Pickford was taking 45- 60 seconds for every goal kick. All this gesturing holding the watch up is just for show as its not the referee who decides how much time is to added on anyway. What it does is break up the attacking teams rhythm and gives the negative team a rest

As soon as someone is red carded then the mindset will change

Pickford was a massive twat last night. As per
