No crowding the ref. The captains of each team are the only ones allowed to approach him. Any player in breech of the rules are told to leave the field for the remainder of the game.

haha it would be like American football, 60 minute games that take 4 hours
Why would that be the case?

Couldn't disagree more really. Genuinely injured players should have as long as they need to recover, feeling otherwise is borderline sadist to be honest. The issue is with people who aren't really injured staying down to run the clock down. If the clock stops then they won't do it because it will have no benefit. It won't be abused because I can assure you that a manager would be absolutely apoplectic if you tried to use it for 'extra rest' and the opposition scored in the time that was effectively 'added on' (the clock wouldn't stop every time the ball went out of play, only for an elongated stoppage).A countdown clock would slow things down more as the players injured wont feel as rushed by time ticking away when down on the floor. Also, if your team is winning but shattered & holding on for points this could get abused for extra rest. The fans will quieten down & the pace of the game dwindles away too.
I also like the anticipation of seeing the extra time added on then having a moan about it. It all adds to the flavour of the game & new rules will only sanitise it.
You moan about fair play etc & time wasting but its what makes the game & i certainly dont want a boring sport.
I'd rather they focussed on getting VAR in place for all matches. Seems a waste to focus on injury time when the refs have ballsed up the previous 90 minutes.The PL may bring in a rule that stops injury time subs, good or bad?? Any other rules you'd like to see? Personally I'd like to see a rule come in that if a player goes to ground "injured" the physio can come on while play continues so the game doesn't stop. It would put an end to fake injury and kicking the ball out of play.
