If they were to do that, they'd have to reduce the playing time to 60 minutes, otherwise games would be lasting 4 hours long and it won't be sustainable for players.Huge yay and I think it'll lead eventually to an in-play clock.
Why should people have to leave before the end all the time? This is proper it isn’t broke so why fix it stuff.I get your point but its not that difficult to plan in an extra 10-15 minutes every game. If you cant make that just leave before the end. Seems an easy fix really.
If there is going be 10 or so minutes added on, there will definitely be time wasting in those 10 mins.Love it. Just need some transparency of added time in added time. Or, stop the clock whenever the ball goes out of play during added time.
A goal in injury time will never feel the same again!Hopefully it will make teams less likely to blatently time waste. Of course its going to make extra time interesting, we are going to end up with 2 and a half hour games.
That’s where we disagree. It doesn’t work any more and football needs to do something about the time wasting. I take your point about certain games but I think the added time would be okay more often than not.Why should people have to leave before the end all the time? This is proper it isn’t broke so why fix it stuff.
London for instance. United regularly play there at 5:30, so roughy 7:30 finish already. The last train to Manchester is 9pm usually. That’s 90 minutes to get across London, in gridlock traffic, with all the locals also heading to the tube in their droves and actually knowing local shortcuts etc… It’s already very tricky to do it at the best of times, so adding 15 minutes to that will make it even more so. For reference last time I did get the train from a London game (Spurs last year, funnily enough a train fell on the track overnight so if we hadn’t made it we were stuck there until Monday) I made it to Euston 90 seconds before the train to Manchester left, and that’s after sneaking into a tube station near the ground via a fire exit to skip the queue.
Yup I really miss it.You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
Honestly missed it, and ref blowing up dead on 94 when there was an injury is a joke.You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
BBC Sport said:The Qatar World Cup will be remembered as the tournament which finally saw Lionel Messi get his hands on the trophy - but the amount of stoppage time in matches was also one of its biggest talking points.
The tournament produced some of the longest World Cup games on record after Fifa instructed fourth officials to keep track of time lost, and we could be about to see the trend rolled out to all top domestic leagues from next season.
In January the International Football Association Board (IFAB) met in London. IFAB oversees the laws of the game and how they are administered, and their wish is to "create fairer conditions for both teams in terms of the amount of time available in a match".
A change in the guidelines - rather than the laws - regards actual playing time is expected to be ratified at the IFAB's annual general meeting on Saturday.
I like its evolution during the World Cup. We saw 10+mins added at the start mostly because teams weren't familiar with it and continued to time-waste. After the first week the refs slightly toned down the number of minutes added, and teams reduced their time-wasting shenanigans.Looks like the World Cup levels of added time could be being rolled out across the rest of football:
