The 2 hour match has arrived - be prepared to adjust your tavel arrangements.
Excessive goal celebrations - the solution is simple.
The team that's conceded walks the ball up to the centre spot. The ref blows his whistle and play restarts. If the team that's scored is still celebrating behind the goal, then tough shit.

Great name for a song. Emi Beware.

That would lead to no celebrations at all. Is that what we want?
-
Just make it a 60 minute game with a stopped clock.
-
Other changes will involve players receiving treatment off the field whenever possible to promote player safety and deter teams from slowing the game. Exceptions include when a goalkeeper is injured or if players from the same team have collided.
In circumstances where a player declines medical assistance, a teammate perceived to then purposely delay the restart will be cautioned. Referees have been reminded to book players who fail to respect the required distance at free-kicks.
This is all good stuff, although I don't know how they propose to get players off the field for treatment when they're feigning a life-threating injury.

Has anybody else seen the irony of the authorities want8ng to speed the game up, when VAR does the exact opposite?
-
Isn't the clock stopped for goals celebrations as you have to kick off again?
-
It'll be like after the world cup; a couple of weeks of proper added time and then back to normal

If Liverpool or Man U are 1-0 down to us or Brighton, it'll be 8-10 minutes of injury time. Scores the other way round, then the usual 2 or 3 minutes will more than suffice.

By Emi 'n 'em?
-
Or in the case of last season's Liverpool-Villa game, as much time as necessary.
-
I'd really like to see some or other rule introduced to stop the introduction of substitutes being used purely to wind down the clock or slow a game down in the closing minutes (and very often the closing seconds!) of a game.
-
Is there a reason they don't just do what they do in rugby and stop the clock when the ball isn't in play? Rugby lends itself more to stopages, I know, but it seems a very obvious solution.

Good question.
In rugby the clock stops for injuries, substitutions, and video ref. I think that would work well in football. It doesn't stop for scrums, lineouts, penalties freekicks, a restart after a team scores or other natural stoppages in game play. The ref can also stop the clock discretionally - eg to deal with a discipline matters etc. It's therefore not quite the clock stopping approach some advocate for football.

That's shit. We'll have players running into each other to waste time and have a breather. IF you snap an opponents legs it's tough shit they have to get off the pitch!
-
This gives further scope for officials to decide how much time to add on.

Yep, don;t you remember when Rashford and Fernandez bumped into each other for 10 minutes?
-
A Stadium Countdown Clock is one of the ideas being discussed to counter time wastage. I think it would be better than having 10 minutes of added time when you're defending a 1 goal lead at Old Trafford, Etihad, Anfield etc.

Can’t stop singing EMI, beware of the devil.
One for us old ‘uns.

Suzanne. Dandy Livingstone, I presume. That song was on a K-Tel compilation album I used to have.

Booked 7 times last season for time wasting

That's less than 1 in 5 games, his disciplinary record is much better than I thought.

Agreed, no suspensions, and he helped us see out games. Bloke’s a genius.

Footy thought he was nailed on for a suspension. Insight.

He didn't seem too stressed earlier......

Rugby isn't a great example. Even with a clock that stops, you often only see the ball in play for 35 minutes of the 80. So much time is wasted in the setting up of lineouts and scrums.

and the 1 minute clock for penalties and conversions which often get used to their fullest. However I think that's the right way to do it and it does work as an example because the clock gets stopped for injuries, for video reviews and if the ref asks for it to be stopped.

Emi won't be getting booked this season for his antics. If he does, he deserves a spanked bottom.

Mrs TOAP has volunteered to do it.
