Because it stops all the nonsense about whether the correct amount of injury time was added on, it's stop timewasting for the purpose of running down the clock. 90mins of actual football you'd have a lot more injuries and games would take about 3 hours in total.

Not all, as has been mentioned they might want to disrupt play, but it would be a pointless thing to do to waste time. It could then be supplemented with a player not allowed back onto the pitch for 1 minute of game time to stop people doing it.

They wouldn't be playing an extra amount. The time would be 60mins with a stopped clock, equivalent to the amount of time a ball is in play under the current rules.

Agree entirely. It's a massive problem and one which could be largely fixed so easily.

Matches wouldn't be extended. Stuies have shwon that ball is in play for roughly 60mins out of 90, so make it 60mins stopped clock is no extra burden. If anything it'll speed it up a bit as a lot of the faffing around will no longer happen as there's little benefit to doing so (maybe trying to...

Absolutely. Would get about the same amount of game time and solve so many problems with time wasting, feigning injury, disputes over added time etc. Pretty much a no brainer really. Only reason I can see people objecting is a "we don't like change do we Deirdre" attitude.

It does seem both of them are pandering to the nutcases at the moment. I'm sure Grendel will be on here soon enough to castigate the policy seeing as it's pretty much as close to the way Communists tend to rule. Seems like he thinks the markets and rich people should be given the freedom to do...

And then Kick for Cash played with it afterwards.

Man Utd are one of the most hated here. Chelsea were after getting the Russian billions, ditto Man City with the Abu Dhabi cash. Newcastle aren't exactly popular after the Saudi's and that'll only grow if the start buying their way to the top.

It is a bit weird how people talk about the identity and how it'd be sacrilege to change it when most revere the man who changed our identity in the 1960's and consider him our finest manager. We're not Singers anymore. Or the Bantams. Our first kit was black. The badge changes subtly all the...

I think the biggest thing to mention in these is who were the people in a foreign land with all the problems that entails in terms of troops and supplies? Home advantage and a large number of people available for the cause, either willing to fight or at the very least not comply and create...

Johnson didn't care either. it was a useful distraction and let him imagine he was some sort of Churchill figure.

Doesn't make her intelligent though does it? Go on then, reveal her incredible intelligence to me (and don't forget you were pretty disparaging about her just a week or so ago)

Unless we get them in a cup game.

Well, she was a foreign secretary who had no idea where the Black Sea was. I certainly don't think she's intelligent. I don't think she's capable of proper critical thinking and will just regurgitate whatever she's told.to say, which is pretty much what Boris wanted. She's only in it for the...

Have you never watched Liz Truss talking? She makes May looked relaxed.

So what? He was an absolute car crash Just because polls show there is almost equivalence in people's opinion on Truss being as good a PM as Starmer doesn't make them right. Truss is the epitome of the purge of intelligence in the Tories by Boris.

Or the 'appeal' of having a bit of charisma

Loads of people thought in an election Boris Johnson would make the best PM. Doesn't make them right.
