Rule Change

[BigDunc'sFod]

Pickford picks up ball
Waits 7 secs
Lobs it to Tarkowski
Who heads it back - not a back pass
Bingo
Another 8 secs
Rinse and repeat

Surely he can just bounce it?

To be fair, Pickford is probaby the worst at doing it.

Is he, or are we just watching him more often? All the keepers do it and it's already a 6 sec violation rule, not one ref has bothered with it while keepers wait for a bit for the team(s) to settle. If anything, Pickford kicks it out fairly quickly as this has been part of our plan for the last few years and he's usually the type of keeper to palm/push/punch the ball away for saves, he rarely holds on to them.

He can dribble it a few times and Kobe it on to Tarkowski's head, who heads it back, rinse and repeat.

I’m with otters who say that the 6 second rule has been discarded completely. Infuriating so it is.

 

[Eugene Ravdin]

Brace yourselves; temporary dismissals might be coming next!

 

[Jimishorts]

I’m with otters

Of course England's no1 is the example

If we want to get time wasting out of the game, I'm all for doing what they did at the last World Cup, which was add a minimum of like 6 mins for stoppage time, and many games were close to 10 mins.

If a keeper holds the ball, guys take 30 seconds for throw ins late in games, just say fine. We'll add all this to stoppage time.

You'll know who the first club will be punished, a dead cert.

Probs whoever Niasse is playing for now. Then Everton.

Just stop the clock when time is being wasted. Then you don’t have to guess how much time to add. It’s one of the odd US college game rules that actually works.

It'll enforcer for about 10 matches, then it'll fade away.

It will be enforced against the smaller teams for our top 4 darlings I have no doubt.

They should get rid of substitutions in injury time
