Stoppage time

[woomy]

I think the game should evolve.
10 seconds for a throw in, 20 seconds for a corner.
Don't stop the game for subs.
Don't stop the game for injury, unless career/life threatening plus head injury.
Time stops if there is goal, free/goal kick, or sending off.

Would stop a lot of nonsense

….nothing will ever be as horrendous as those 10 extra minutes of injury time at the end of the Bournemouth game. i will never forget that, surely nothing will be as nerve wracking.

Get used to it. This season, we'll have to hang on for about half an hour.

I'm not sure sky/tnt will care too much. They are subscription based services and the ad revenue is still guaranteed, just later. They will extend the coverage to cater for it.

Lets see if the early enthusiasm from the refs continues then.

It's ridiculous they will add time on until certain team's score

Surely 99 minutes.

Take it out the refs hands. Have the time on the scoreboard and crack on. Then everyone can see exactly what is left.

Newcastle’s first few games will go on until midnight given how much they “run the clock down”…won’t be good for Toon publicans profits waiting for the Geordie hordes to emerge from the Sportwashing Arena.

We’ll be four up most weeks,so it’s not affecting us!!!!

13 minutes of stoppage time just announced in this Sunderland game

No problem with it so long as they stop the clock on big screen on refs direction and then restart. Don’t need biased officials interpretation.

Yet when the rs are beating Luton 2-1 at home or city are 4-0 up against sheff utd, there'll be no more than 3 minutes added time.

When/if we have an negative goals/90min avg in mid sept, I'm pretty sure I won't commit seppuku.

 

[MACCA75]

I can’t remember one of our games ending before 5pm as it is - we always seem to get mad amounts of injury time.

Should just stop the time when the games stopped.

Makes much more sense.

Think I agree with this. Makes it a lot more transparent. Atm it just feels (they might actually be honest but it's hard to know) like added time is completely arbitrary depending on who's reffing the game and who's playing.
