Stoppage time
Why do we still have this nonsense? Why not just pause the official game clock whenever there's a referee stoppage for bookings, red cards, penalties and whatnot?

There was a logical explanation befofe. But i agree. Would stop most of the time wasting.Imploding Turtle wrote:Why do we still have this nonsense? Why not just pause the official game clock whenever there's a referee stoppage for bookings, red cards, penalties and whatnot?

There is no way they would allow games to massively extend.

Re: Stoppage time
But if stopping the game clock for situations that are *supposed* to incur stoppage time anyway, then if the current system was working the game wouldn't be extended.HunterST_BFC wrote:Simple answer TV. ie the paymasters.

It'd get rid of the controversy, and we could even have a clear end to the game defined too, like in "Yawnion" where the game continues beyond the 80th minute while the ball remains in play.

Re: Stoppage time
Its what this leads to. We stop the clock so there's no time wasting but then we lose momentum cos teams p*ssing about and not rushing wont be seen as much of a problem. Then small breaks in play become the norm and then somewhere down the line we are getting towards timeouts and ad breaks for the TV stations.
Sure in its simplest form now it can look a reasonable idea but you have to think a bit further ahead and the direction these kind of tweaks will take us

Re: Stoppage time
You can still book players for time wasting, or penalise them with revocation of things like free kicks if they take too long.Devils_Advocate wrote:Its what this leads to.

Re: Stoppage time
Course you can but the emphasis will reduce and overtime I think it will become less of an issue. At the same time it will play into the hands of the money men running the game.Imploding Turtle wrote:You can still book players for time wasting, or penalise them with revocation of things like free kicks if they take too long.

Not for holding it in corners though. Which obviously they can doImploding Turtle wrote:You can still book players for time wasting, or penalise them with revocation of things like free kicks if they take too long.
Also teams will still slow down at subs to kill momentum

Re: Stoppage time
Strange comment. Its got nothing to do with the effect on them, its the opportunity it can give them to push the game in a direction that will have a negative effect on us the fansImploding Turtle wrote:I don't care about the effect on the money men running the game.

BFC would lose the fee off GM fitted furniture Ltd, we'd never vote for it.

Re: Stoppage time
They do that anyway, and it has the same effect anyway. This idea isn't intended to prevent time wasting directly, it's intended to disincentive it.cricketfieldclarets wrote:Not for holding it in corners though. Which obviously they can do

If adding 30 seconds per sub was accurate then replacing that with simply stopping the game clock instead would make no difference to the amount of actual football played. What is would do is, as i said, disincentivise time wasting more than stoppage time disincentivises it, and it would be more accurate than adding stoppage time.
One point about slow walking substitutes though, if a player knows that a substitution is going to add a fixed amount of time to the stoppage time (and he wants to waste time) then he can take as long as he wants over that time and know that only 30 seconds will be added. It also means that he will definitely milk it since why spend 10 seconds jogging off the pitch if it's going to add 30 seconds anyway. May as well walk.
So i'm unmoved by the 'momentum' argument.

Re: Stoppage time
But I thought substituted players are meant to leave the field via the nearest touch line now? A rule I’ve yet to see implemented.

I think that was injured players being subbed, but you might be right.

Re: Stoppage time
I think it's important we retain at least a bit of nonsense in the game.

Not sure, but we could then have another made up table on "where we should be" regards expected stoppages for, and expected stoppages against.
I'm all for it.

Re: Stoppage time
How did the ref in the Chelsea v Ajax match come up with 4 mins?
5 second half goals, 2 red cards, VARs and substitutions.
