Stop the Clock

[Milk]

With constant VAR checks, 5 subs rule, injuries and time wasting, is it not time that the ref can stop the clock like in rugby for the delay?

Extra time is often never less than five minutes now … and often 8 if it’s the RS

I would even be in favour of a hooter at the end of each 45 minutes with play continuing until the ball goes dead

Could just stop corruption in the sport. That would solve a plethora of issues.

Specifically for var, I would allow managers 3 challenges. That would stop situations like the foul on onana, which they decided not to review for obvious reasons.

I'm not sure why var isn't used for things like a corner being given when it was a goal kick or vice versa. They could literally do that check in the seconds between the ball going out and the set piece being taken.

Mic the refs up. You'd be amazed at how quickly ref behaviour would change.

Rules have to be the same everywhere so that would prevent betting on goals in added time which is where fixers make a lot of money in some scrappy leagues.

So, no chance ?

Given that everything that is done that we think will make the game fairer does the opposite, I say no.

Some complete fanboy will be there stopping the clock almost every second possible if the 'favoured' team is losing - so they'll have 110 minutes to score an equaliser (& winner) whereas if they are already winning then no time will be added on at all.

In rugby it’s pretty simple, the referee says “ time off please/ time on please” and there’s a visual indication to the players in the stadium as to where the clock is time wise and of course a hooter.They also play until the ball is dead, free kicks and penalties extend the time, so for a free kick on 90 mins they would take the kick and play until the ball goes dead.

They should just jib off the time completely.

Have an applause meter next to the pitch and if it drops below a certain level the lights are just turned off and everyone goes home.

If its a daytime game everyone just shuts their eyes, I have not worked out the intricacies of it yet.

I think the new cricket tournament called The 100 has things like big flame throwers at the side of the pitch/ court/ pentagram thing. So could we bring that in somehow? Would that work, is that something we could do?

Of course, but in rugby the VAR calls are 99 times out of 100 the correct decision. The question is would our football referees be impartial enough to use the system in a totally non biased way or is it yet another tool at their disposal to help manufacture results?

All I can say is I don't trust them as far as I can throw them, it used to be a little in-joke between ourselves saying it's a fix but we went a season and a bit without a penalty being awarded despite having stone wall incidents, yet united and the RS having twelvty hundred with a vast array of dubious ones given. Same with red cards, I think we are getting on 40 something games without an opposition player being sent off despite all kinds of leg breakers against us and again the referees or VAR can't wait to send ours off (Allan being an example).

Challenges would be exploited to waste more time
