Guest RocketOwl Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 When we saw video replay used recently in the league cup it was met with mixed reviews. One change I have always wanted is a countdown introduced for when the ball goes out of play. We have all almost lost the plot when at Hillsborough we are 1-0 down and the opposition start taking ages with goal kicks and throw ins. If there was a 10 second countdown for teams to restart play, I think this takes time wasting out of the game once and for all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Just need an independent time keeper who stops the clock whenever the ball is out of play. Take as long as you want with goal kicks, substitutions; the clock won't start until the ball is back in play. Tbf, this was recently suggested by the FIFA rules panel thingy. But with each half reduced to exactly 30 minutes of "ball in play" time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toooldforthis Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Have a separate time keeper any play not restarting after a set time the clock stops. Stops for goal celebrations, injuries, substitutions...goal celebrations/subs you have 30 secs then the game restarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its time refs were a lot better at stamping down on time wasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember when sky first started broadcasting, one of the stats they rolled out at full time was how long the ball had been in play - from memory it was always very low. As this wasn't in line with the new, exciting premier league product they were trying to flog I don't think it lasted long. Or it could be my memory failing me. I do binge drink quite a lot.

Its time refs were a lot better at stamping down on time wasting. Of course it doesn't work. That why FIFA are considering (well talking about) the change. Something I agree with (except make it 35 mins each way). In the mean time, you're right, refs should clamp down more. But be consistent about it.

And 4 lasers in each section of the ground, keep firing bursts after an allotted time, it makes men impotent, eventually. I was in a Tank Regiment, and the laser could knock birds out of trees, good stuff. PS. didn't kill the birds, or the ground squirrel's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not in this country but a team went and scored whilst other team were Bumming each other near a corner flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 American football matches have four fifteen minute quarters and last for hours and hours (like how long does the Superbowl go on for ) I'm all for technology but please don't let us go down the "stop the clock" route.

Inspector Lestrade Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 To stop time wasting just send them off the first instance of it happening. It's getting ridiculous how much effort is put into cheating us out of game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 all teams do it not just teams that play us. I remember playing stockport and we were winning 0-3 and the crowd(us) kept all the balls to kill time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Newsome Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Keep technology out of football, goal line technology is fine because it can be cleared up in a second, but VAR is going to be controversial as a lot of decisions are down to opinion anyway. Plus what happens when a goal is scored in the last minute of the game, but the other team calls a VAR, just ruins all the emotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Sanderson Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Said this about 10 years ago. No need for referee to keep time. One of the reasons I stopped watching football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Im not big on technology but i think it either needs to come in - balls deep Or we keep it out and just carry on I think it was f*cking outrageous that some FA cup ties had VAR while the vast majority didn't - wtf is that all about Our football authorities could barely do things any more incompetently Absolute charlatans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Rider Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 If games were timed only on action they would last 3 hours. It’s strange but home teams only winge about the away team wasting time when they don’t win. That’s football the away teams generally sit back, waste time and try nick a 1-0 win. Be careful you’ll sound like Wilder after they lost to Norwich, stripped down he said it’s not fair, they didn’t let us win. On the video ref, surely it would be better to give captains three challenges similar to cricket and tennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
