It's fine. In Liz we Truss.

I do hate the taking the ball to the corners and yes, even when we do it. Not.sure how you can eradicate that though. It's great you can win a game by doing that in some ways, but it's awful to watch.

This is the 21st century. We have the technology and digital watches. Wouldn't be at all hard to have the ref's watch linked to the scoreboard. I just think there is far too much for the referees to already contend with what with players surrounding them, dissent, being right up in their faces...

Not sure they all are, but some are for sure. Refs clearly are not allocating the correct amount of minutes in games. No idea why. It nearly always causes puzzlement. I wonder what refs and office think on this matter. Would be interesting to gauge

I hope you locked it up good and threw the key in the canal.

I don't get that argument at all. The last 2 mins of an NFL game are often outrageously entertaining and thrilling. It's not the same thing though at all. In NFL, the game setup IS that it is stop start, stop start. Plan your strategy and plays and the there is a 40 second gap between each...

I am still The Trainline's number one customer. They even got me an anniversary present.

That's different though isn't it. This will kill time wasting. It won't kill teams trying to stop the momentum of their opposition. 55 mins is outrageous though and stopping the clock would clearly, definitely help in that regard.

Yup, it's an unfair comparison. Only last year we beat Latvia 20-0 and we play against so many very poor international teams, scores in double figures are not uncommon. White has had so many more much easier opportunities to score. She's a an excellent striker in the women's game, but there is...

Yup. That needs sorting urgently. It's supposed to be in part, about clear and obvious errors and if it is not clear and obvious within 20 seconds, it's not clear is it.

There have actually been trains running on every strike day from Coventry. It's just been a much, much reduced service.

It's still in its infancy. Once they sort it out, it will work just fine. Nothing wrong with the technology. It's the people operating the system and how they interpret it

Yeah, but they are not playing an extra 35 mins are they. At the moment they are only playing for as little as 55 mins. Whichever way you look at it, we pay good money to go and watch football games and deserve much better.

I do still prefer Breaking Bad, but it's a very close call. The characters are richer and fleshed out more on Better Call Saul.

Yeah, I get that, but I don't think it would add on all that time, because once players see the trying to delay the game isnt working, there is no point in doing it. I think it should at least be trialled. See if it makes things better or not. Obviously would be best to trial it at a lower...

I find it quite laughable that at the moment we have the equivalent of a Masonic handshake going on, with the crowd having absolutely no idea how much or little time is going to be added on. It's like this one big secret that no-one is privvy too. At the moment, all the time wasting is...

Yes. Because if you are trying to waste time, faffing about with a goal kick, or a corner, or free kick or a corner, you are achieving absolutely nothing. What's the point trying to run the clock down when the clock has stopped?

And just how many times have we as fans gone "5 mins added? That was way more than 5 mins wasted."

Not sure you can though. As an example, if someone wants to feign injury when they are substituted, to waste time, they can hobble and limp off instead or walk off. When it comes to corners and throw ins, you can stop, wipe the ball, ask the ref where to take the throw in from/place the ball...
