5 subs rule

[Southcoast Mackem]

What a joke. Slows the game right down. Could be up to 10 interruptions. Should have been kept at 3. Also messes up your anytime goalscorer/booking bet etc as there'll be a reluctance to pick a player if he's got a 50% chance of being subbed

The players have played almost two seasons consecutively (Often playing more than 60 games a season), they’re playing in trmendous heat in some cases and we’ve just seen a player nearly die on the pitch

I’m comfortable with the 5

Isn't it in for good now though?

Not sure

Don’t really mind if it is anyway.

The health of footballers is a bit of a hot topic with Ericksen, the dementia stuff and the concussion issues (see Pavard - he should have gone off when he was knocked out)

If it helps the health of the players it’s not a bad thing in my eyes

Makes absolutely no odds really as they rarely all get used. Not sure if it’s the same in all competitions but in league one you could only make the 5 subs across 3 different intervals to avoid time wasting.

There can't be ten interruptions they have three slots for using them

Oh ok. Seems like there's been a stoppage every few mins in the Germany v Portugal game. The games getting more frustrating with time wasting from 70 mins these days. I still prefer the 3 subs myself.

 

[Quillips]

I like it. Gives us more players to lambast after the match.

 

[ca8msm]

It's 5 subs in 3 slots so makes no difference really to the time taken up.

 

[Geno]

The op is pissed off because his bet went down.

 

[Sunderlandafc2020]

I think it's a case of 5 subs can come on but only with 3 different occasions. So a team can't make 5 subs on 5 individual occasions. So it doesn't slow the game down too much more.

Lol. Not this time but has affected it before.

 

[molthemackem]

I dont think substitutes being substituted was what it was meant to be used for.

 

[AC Mack]

The same amount of interruptions as when there were only three subs allowed, so it doesn't really affect anything on that front.

I don't see the issue really.

There's only 3 times you can sub the 5 on though. So no more stoppages than when 3 subs allowed

But isn't that the beauty of the game we love. You get by on the 3. You can change half the team now. Yes ok 3 interruptions per team, that's 6 in total, 2 subs at a time in 2 of those interruptions. One is lying on the floor pretending he has cramp, the other slowly walks off. Not for me. I'm out.

They have to walk off at the closest side of the pitch anyway so that isn’t any worse than with 3 subs either.

Hopefully it goes back to normal next season
