Popular Post alanharper Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 It's time to make football a 60 minute game, and stop the clock every time the ball goes out of play. Games would still finish around the same time, but these shithousing cheats would soon stop their embarrassing antics if it means they're getting no advantage. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The time wasting is getting worse in football generally. Authorities need to find a way to address it before the game becomes unwatchable. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Thome Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I feel like the ref should be empowered to add extra punishment time on to fine teams for time-wasting. Sunderland were by no means as bad as some of the teams we've suffered watching this season, and the longest stoppage was a genuine clash of heads. But it is killing the game as a spectacle if allowed to carry on. Where you have teams like Wycombe and players like McCarthy under instructions to go down for 3 minutes at a time - the ref can never ignore someone holding his head, because the 1 time in 100 it is genuine there could be a serious injury. But if he suspects they wasted 3 minutes with an incident, they should be allowed to add double, 6 minutes, on for that one stoppage alone. The slow walk off for the 3 subs at the end should be a double time offence too - they would be off in 10 seconds rather than 2 minutes if they knew the punishment was double time added on. Perhaps take time-keeping out of the hands of the ref on the field entirely, with a different official keeping count of time-wasting offences with a time-wasting clock. Also introduce a rule whereby the team playing the team that does the time-wasting has the option to use the extra time or not. E.g. if Wycombe have done 8 minutes time-wasting, so their punishment is a minimum of 16 minutes added time, and Oxford, Portsmouth or whoever, go 2-1 up after 7 added minutes, they can choose to end the game there if they like. If time-wasting was properly punished like this, it would soon stop, because you would be putting your team at a disadvantage. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Malc Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 They were haranguing the ref to book us after every foul, and trying to stop us from taking free kicks. We should have been in their faces and moaning to the ref after every foul. They nearly kneecapped Byers and we did nothing. They were taking the piiss. It’s time we fought back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Neill is a decent manager, but even his post match comments were classless. I’m more annoyed that we fell into their trap when it was so utterly predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinburghowl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 There was nearly 12 minutes injury time last night. We got much more than what was allotted. Any team in a winning position would do the same and Sunderland played more football than Wycombe. Not comparable. We simply weren’t good enough over the two legs 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 60 minute clock wouldn’t affect this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
