Is it too much in your opinion?
Is there a better way to stop time wasting?
Personally i'd go to the rugby way of doing it and stop the clock for stoppages. Also enforce the 6 second rule for goalkeepers |  |

And have a red zone for the time, game ends when the ball goes dead, this would always favor the attacking side. If your attacking you just keep the ball in play until the defending side can put it out or if you are losing you don't put it out. |  | | |

Much better. No time wasting yesterday at all by anyone and got more for our money. |  |

The added 8 minutes suggest the officials thought there was time wasting.
Stopping the watch could be interesting as the average ball in play time for a football match is just over 55 minutes. |  |

I'd go for stopping the watch, an indy time keeper who did it properly might work and all we'd notice is when the clock hit 90 minutes.
Another rugby thing that many of us on here have proposed over the years is the sin bin, I reckon 15 mins in the bin would stop many a dodgy practise.
Whatever rules are brought in though, the officials have to enforce them and as we see, over time the officials get lax and don't enforce some rules on some players (ok, the big names) and we call that favouritism, that thing the hierarchy says doesn't exist though we all know it does. | | | |

The sin bin is a good idea.
Another problem, for me at least, is when a player is injured in a tackle or foul. The aggressing team plays on with 11 while the injured side goes down to 10. Temporary 11th man or player who fouled staying off as long as the injured player is off?
And, stopping quick free kicks by impeding the restart …. Back 10 or you get a yellow card IMO. | |

The clock in the stadium not stopping at 90 minutes & showing the position in injury time is definitely an improvement |  | | |

Its a step in the right direction, was nice to see the physios not being called on every time a player fancied a quick lie down.
Would like to see the 6 second rule for GK enforced and maybe do the same for throw ins etc. A rolling visible clock that stops every time the ball goes dead would be interesting, because fans must be short changed by about 30 mins of active game time. | | | |

Think it’s one of the best changes in recent times. How many times have you sat and watched the opposition keeper virtually taking the P big time, and the ref then giving him a yellow with 3 mins to go?
And players going to ground as a time wasting ploy?
About time, without a doubt! | | | |

Of course, it will be one of the worst changes when we are hanging on to a 1-0 win and 8 minutes comes up. Last season we could have lost a load of games😂 |  |

Northampton had 26 minutes added on Saturday.
A lot of Stevenage fans missed the train home.
Can see this being a real problem with night games this Winter |  |

It’s a point that needs considering. Earlier ko times maybe? | |

maybe that's why people who get identfied as persistent time wasters should be punished, there should be a yellow given to any player who rolls around "in agony" who is up and running around with a sign of a limp 30 seconds later.
We've all seen that happen, the player tries to get another player booked but is straight up and running around once the card is given. | | | |

The Reading keeper last year was a prime example, the bloke was blatantly wasting time from the very start, even more pronounced when they went ahead.
Worked against him in the end when we came back to lead 3 - 2, very satisfying watching him run around flapping his arms & complaining to the ref once we went ahead though!
Keepers falling to the ground for no reason when they catch the ball & then taking ages to restart play is my pet hate. | | | |

Difficult to prove Cat. I know I’ve taken knocks in sport that initially hurt like hell but soon wear off. I know the occurrences you are referring to though. | |

There's one that springs to mind, when Ronaldo went to ground and rolled around but was caught on camera watching the ref through his fingers.
That's why we need the cameras I guess, cheats need to be outed even if it's after the game. Then punished. | | | |
