Emi beware?

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?

[OCD]

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.

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......

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.

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.
