If arbitrary decisions are now being made about which round of fixtures get the full allotted time, then I'm an advocate of going down the route other sports have. The duration of every game is determined by a clock on the screen that is stopped everytime there is a stoppage in play.
When the clock on the old Witton Lane stand showed 20 to 5, the ref blew up.Modern football is rubbish.
There should be a representative of each club and an official available to agree the added time (with an explanation for each portion added) so that everyone knows and understands what's going on. I know there's a chance a team won't agree, but at least the discussion and explanation will be there.

A good read Dave. Well summarised and the “Immaculate” assessment of Tyrone Mings is spot on.

Talk of 'McGrath like' on the match thread and it's justified, he should absolutely be first choice for England alongside Stones, never mind pissing about in the squad.
