Precisely, tried watching NFL a couple of times but the stopping the clock thing I found really annoying.Allowing the clock to be stopped will make for exponentially more time wasting and cynical game management, not less.
Nice breather isn't it,,bring the stretcher on and see how many need it.Even if it's to the side of the pitch.107 breaks in play

The officials take an inordinate amount of time out of the game for set pieces It's rediculous really, has it always been like this, can't say I can make a judgement myself?but they stop it every time it goes out of bounds. Not like I'm suggesting we stop it for goal kicks, corners and throws! Just injuries and subs.
why is the referee is the only person in the stadium not capable of telling the difference between a major injury and someone falling to the floor when clearly nobody has touched them.
we all know instantly when its a major injury, if nothing else the players reaction gives it away.
don't understand why this is such an issue in football but every other sport has managed to avoid it.
Think that was his way of saying I'm fucking fed up with this pantomime...I thought he was a terrible ref but he is in a lose lose with diving and play acting if he doesn't stop play and it really is genuine then he's fucked BUT how did he not send the lad to sideline after getting treatment was ...just wtfHave to say one thing, he did well with our goal not to give a foul against MVE, given some of the soft fouls he'd given against us all game. Was the correct decision, but I was 100% expecting him to rule it out given the way the game had gone.
Rules have changed if there is a yellow involved - if the repair is quick he gets to stay on - the fact that he was a cheating bastard with nothing wrong with him is beside the pointThink that was his way of saying I'm fucking fed up with this pantomime...I thought he was a terrible ref but he is in a lose lose with diving and play acting if he doesn't stop play and it really is genuine then he's fucked BUT how did he not send the lad to sideline after getting treatment was ...just wtf
Players and managers always find a way to exploit the rules bo matter what laws they bring in. Since the head injury protocol for example the number of players who go down with a head injury when the contact was in the back or chest area is laughable.Think that was his way of saying I'm fucking fed up with this pantomime...I thought he was a terrible ref but he is in a lose lose with diving and play acting if he doesn't stop play and it really is genuine then he's fucked BUT how did he not send the lad to sideline after getting treatment was ...just wtf
Ifollow viewFair enough, you obviously had a different view
If they are genuinely injured take then off. I can never get my head around one minute looking like you've broken something to getting up and playing on as normal.Why? If it's not a head injury then the game isn't stopped for outfield players when the ball is in play.
Players and managers have always done this and will continue to do this. How there was only 3 mins added in time in the first half was surprisingIf they are genuinely injured take then off. I can never get my head around one minute looking like you've broken something to getting up and playing on as normal.
5 pages in and haven’t seen a workable suggestion of how to stop it yet.
