Always had respect for him despite leaving us in the shit when he left, but yesterday really has changed my opinion on him. A disgraceful way to set a team up. Dirty bastards.
So make it 2 halves of 30 minutes. Clock only runs when the ball is active. Wouldn't need a ref to manage it either & the timekeeping could be linked directly to the scoreboard so we all know where we stand.
How about doing that and playing 45 minutes each way,like we have for the last 100 years.
If sports with a fixed game time (NBA, NFL etc) are anything to go by, then doing this would just place even more emphasis on clock management than there already is.
Leaving the end of the game in the hands of the ref like football does is chaotic and often pretty fun. I don’t see how anyone who’s watched us at home this season could fail to see that.
In his interview he sounded like a desperate man who knows he is going to get sacked.Always had respect for him despite leaving us in the shit when he left, but yesterday really has changed my opinion on him. A disgraceful way to set a team up. Dirty bastards.
The passage of time has probably eroded your memories, but League 2 was terrible for it. Every team that came to the Ricoh took eternities over set pieces, throw ins & substitutions. The biggest wind up for me was goalkeepers taking a minute or so to take goal kicks. Can't remember the particular game, but there was one match where the physio was also in on it too. Players kept going down 'injured' on the opposite side to the benches and the physio kept just ambling across to treat them taking up minutes that were not added on at the end of the game. Hopefully someone will remember the particular match I'm thinking of.

Typed out this exact reply then saw you'd already done it for meSo make it 2 halves of 30 minutes. Clock only runs when the ball is active. Wouldn't need a ref to manage it either & the timekeeping could be linked directly to the scoreboard so we all know where we stand.
Errr....fuck off with that shit.So make it 2 halves of 30 minutes. Clock only runs when the ball is active. Wouldn't need a ref to manage it either & the timekeeping could be linked directly to the scoreboard so we all know where we stand.
Because it's not representative of the actual amount of time the ball is in play. Games would end up lasting the best part of three hours. So if a ball is in play for approx. 30mins out of 45 under current rules, having 45 mins with a stopped clock would increase their workload by a third. They'd be dropping like flies.How about doing that and playing 45 minutes each way,like we have for the last 100 years.
The issue is sometimes the refs just blow at that time don’t they? I agree with above its not clever play or managing the game it’s cheating. Clever play is passing it around going nowhere or keeping it in the corner and winning corners or throw ins. What they did just pissed the ref off. Our players were superb about it I think at one point nyambe was helped by one of our players with cramp. You’d like to think that gets noticed but it’s unlikely.MINIMUM TIME ADDED ON.
MINIMUM.
AFCON recentlyIt's always a minimum. When have you seen a ref blow for full time before the minimum time has been reached?

That’s why Mowbray whinges cause on another day the ref blows up at 6 minOn this occasion I mean it was refreshing to see a referee add on the appropriate time that the game wasn't in play.
On your question though, I've watched a few games now where the ref has blown up 10 seconds or so before the time on the screen. Unless the TV clock is out of sync to the refs watch.

I was going to say the same thing. You don't have to stop the clock for every single little incident, but if someone is deemed to be time wasting for instance, if would be perfect.Just to make the point, in rugby they don't stop the clock every time the ball is out of play. It's in the ref's control, and he'll usually stop it for substitutions and injuries, and for occasionally dealing with disciplinary issues and things like VAR analysis.
I think something similar could work for football, and personally speaking, I'd quite like to see it attempted. The shithousing around fake injuries in particular is getting ridiculous...

The trouble is that by doing that the problem remains. Referees already have the authority to add time for time wasting! I'm fine with people being traditionalists (I am for the most part too) but in respect to this issue I think we have to keep things as they are and trust referees to deal with the 'game management' issues, and just accept the inconsistencies we see are just a part of the game, or radically change to something like 30 minute halves where the clock only runs when the ball is active. I don't see that half measures will solve anything.
He's out of contract in 6 games
