Should injury-time be stopped?

[COYB]

ladz?? it's pointless and just loses us points

football should just be 90 mins regardless what happens from now on
and id happily accept any rule change. discuss .. sake

Jib it when we're winning, keep it when we're losing.....

always said this, the game should be stopped when the ball isn't in play, like rugby. It's so simple, it would stop all this rubbish with feigning injuries, time wasting and it actually means fans get the hour and a half of football they pay for. We were time wasting a fair bit tonight and only added to the amount of stoppage time, and it's sad that you can't watch a league match these days without seeing cheating and time wasting.

Fans are being cheated out of more and more game time as the years go by, i don't really see what football gains from actually endorsing it. It doesn't add to the drama.

Lad?

The only thing I would change is make it transparent. It's a proven fact that the top 6 sides get more stoppage time than everyone else.

Hello mate whenever you post I get auto alert notifications that you're a kopite. Is this true?

Thought this would be a mikey fitz thread

Given we've gained more points from losing positions than just about any other team it's a no from me.

Foreign refs don't believe in injury time. Notice next time you watch a Spanish or German game how they blow up as soon as it hits 45:00 even if there's been 4 goals in the first half, utter mentalists.

I agree with @toffeejack .
At the top level of football there should be an independent arbitrator of time (let the referee concentrate on the action) who can transmit publicly when time has been stopped. Of all the technological advances that are happening in football, this is the easiest to implement.

Daft. It's the game.
