Players time wasting

[LondonMackem]

Sad as fuck and should result in harsher punishments. If a player gets booked for time wasting and they continue to do it, it would be great seeing the ref give a 2nd yellow rather than thinking the first serves as a good enough deterrent.

This. Absolute joke how bad its become. They're barely playing over 45 minutes a game.

But but it’s the best most exciting league in the world.
It’s an embarrassment these days

Refs been told to clamp down on it this season and they do nothing

Stop clocks and shorten halves and timewasting stops.

Another thing as well from yesterday. We just went 2-0 and had momentum and the gake was stopped for 5 minutes amd flattened everything. Incentivises fans hoying things.

I’d love to see a keeper given a yellow for time wasting. Then another when he continues to do it.

Said similar yesterday...suited Burnley, obviously made no real difference in the end but if we carried straight on in the same vein we could well have been 3 up.

It's just the same as any other top European league just marketed better.

Refs are shit scared of dealing with it.

The only time I've seen it handled properly was Durham Women v Man Utd Women.

Man U keeper wasting time in the first half by not releasing the ball. Ref gives a free kick and says do it again, and it's a yellow. Keeper then took ages with a goal kick; Ref didn't gesture, just pulled out a yellow and said, if you don't think I'll give you another, just do it again and find out.

No more time-wasting occurred.

It's just the same as any other top European league just marketed better.

Hence why interest in top-level football is struggling, paying a fortune for a ticket or a subscription to watch 38 mins of the ball being in play is very poor value.

Indeed, a football forum discussing things which constantly go on in football, whatever next.

Yep.
Like a stuck record, week in and week out.

Needs to be clamped down earlier rather than 83 minute like in the spurs game

It should be until it changes. Playing between 40-60 minuted a game isn't acceptable.

Make an example of the first player to waste time regardless of how long has been played , then continue to book them they’ll sharp get the message.

If it stopped people wouldn't talk about it.

IMO stopping the clock would make the issue worse, if the time wasting intention is to stop momentum.

Will turn into American football and timeouts

Never going to be possible until they bring in a maximum dead ball time default.

Its like saying 'we need to clamp down on speeding drivers' without having a set speed limit.
