Stoppage Time

[NewEnglandFox]

Why are we still here?

[Super_horns]

 

I guess they will hope the time wasting stops and less time has to be added on event like in the World Cup but there didn’t seem to be much in that game  as Southampton were so dominate generally 

 

And you will get teams , managers etc saying why wasn’t there more in their game compared to another .

 

I mean what is going to decide if there is 8 or 10 minutes as an example ?
 
The trouble will be when someone scores a vital goal in the 101st minute .
 
The other team will go mad

This stoppage time is going to play havoc with the early leavers. Leaving on the 85 minute could mean missing the last 15 or more minutes. They'll need to wait until the board goes up for stoppage time before making a decision when to leave. There's going to be some upset 

[OntarioFox]

Like it personally. If the powers that be hold their nerve, it will weed out gamesmanship and time wasting.

 

It's telling that the managers who have been complaining about it manage teams that play shite football and rely on timewasting on a weekly basis to cling to results. Ainsworth and Wycombe, looking at you. Probably gutted he can't bring that brand of anti football to QPR.

Look forward to that tomorrow as we slip to a 1-0 defeat !

I can absolutely guarantee that the length of injury time will have no bearing on the early leavers..

 

The early leavers are absolutely chained into their routines. Must be a covid jab thing and bill gates pressing and twiddling knobs

It’s going to benefit teams like us massively. If we continue to build and add depth to our squad, and we end up having some good quality in that depth, it’s likely to benefit us bringing it off the bench later in the game against potentially tired defenders. 

[Craig]

Holding players accountable for the time lost during a game of football is the same as VAR? Laughable.

 

The amount of time the ball was in play in the EFL last season was pathetic.

 

The PL is bad, but the EFL (and gets worse as you go down each division) is something else. 

 

 

[Finnegan]

Best thing about the world cup. 

 

Fvck time wasters. We're paying customers, we pay extortionate amounts to watch 90 minutes not to be short changed by millionaire cheats. 

[davieG]

8pm KO are already a no no for me getting the bus it’s either 9.45 or 11.50.

 

Besides why don’t they do it properly and have match clock that we can all see, what are scared of showing?

[JimJams]

Probably a snatch.

[Dan LCFC]

It's going to be absolutely class when there's like 8 added on, they get to the 99th minute and the whole ground is going mental when the home team is 1-0 up. It's worth it for that alone. This is the spectacle I want.

[Ian Nacho]

I’m all for it. It’s how it should have been all along as in the past it’s felt as if the forth official has plucked a number out of thin air, with it usually being a lot less than it should be. I remember on multiple occasions when I was genuinely shocked at some 3 minutes of added time in the second half when it should have been more like 7. 

[Vlad the Fox]

As usual they’re round the houses again rather than tackling a problem head on. If they add 30 seconds for a sub, give him 30 seconds to get off then book him if he’s still on the pitch etc.

I support the move, the time wasting is a huge problem in the game, and also left questions over officiating as teams like Liverpool if losing would get good added time for injuries etc. but if there were winning a miracle would happen and only 10 seconds would be added or something, now the rule is to add the proper time, that dodgyness should hopefully be more exposed.

 

Now VAR decisions of course are open to interpretation so the human error element still exists, but timekeeping should be rather simple in comparison, when the game stops, you add the time.

[SystonFox]

I read on X about the clock will now continue to show the time after 45 and 90 mins. Great move from the EFL

[The Doctor]

It's the end of Sean Dyche and all the other anti-football bellends who pick up points by only playing 55 minute games, I'm all for it

In theory that works until you get injured players having to come off or multiple subs being taken at once, in theory you could have 10 players off and on in one go, good luck with that circus act being performed in 30 seconds.

Good idea, will help us

Treat injured players while the game continues (which will stop that line of time wasting when players go down without being touched then sit receiving treatment having drinks ect like in rugby)

 

Multiple subs just give them a bit longer to get the numbers up, they'll soon learn to get off the pitch quickly.

Injured players will have to stay off the pitch for 30 seconds once play restarts in an effort to combat that.

Not if play continues. Just treat them where they fall. 
 

If the authorities really wanted to tackle time wasting they could do if they were brave enough to tackle it head on. But what you get in this game is pussy footing around the real issue at hand on all levels as those in power aren’t brave enough to tackle anything head on or are unwilling to give away any power. The ridiculous var they’re trialling in the women’s World Cup were the ref announces the decision, what people really want is to hear the process, the conversation that takes place in getting to that decision as they do in cricket but no, those in power for whatever reason drag their heels which tends to mean it takes years to get where they should be.

[iancognito]

You clearly weren't there for the Arsenal home game (amongst others) last season. That cheating cvnt Jorginho hitting the deck three times holding his head when he'd been tackled or kicked because he knew it'd bring the physio on for a mandatory "concussion check" was beyond ridiculous. The ball was apparently in play for 43 minutes out of 90 which is unacceptable at any level.

I'm with you but it's not just bad teams, it's worse from the bigger clubs if anything. Can't wait for it if they hold their nerve as we'll get less time wasting/feigning injury etc as result.

 

Irony is that they'll add 10 mins at the end of the game yet i bet it would typically be 15 as a minimum and 20 in plenty of games if they did it properly. Used to hate the suggestion of 60 min games where they stop the clock but if teams are allowed to eat up 30 mins a game, then that's the only way it can go. Hopefully we get to 90 mins plus normal stoppage time where we've actually only lost a couple of mins of proper game time.

I’m used to us conceding in the dying minutes so I hope that era is dead and buried!
