How about keep it as it is with 45 minutes per half and just scrap added time and stop the clock when play stops. Straight red for time wasting with 3 match ban and a fine for the player and the club involved. That'd soon stop time wasting.

I kind of like it, especially the penalty idea. Stopping the clock too would make it more enjoyable, but would it make it harder for games to be scheduled on tv since how long a game is isn't set in stone and could change.

Can't see it being an issue at all as the length is still fairly predictable and you just allow enough waffle time at the end to cope. Nearly all live games are shown on subscription channels anyway. I know the likes of the BBC still show the odd game and they'll have something like Songs of Praise afterwards, but they are a bit player these days so they'll either have to liek it or lump it. The fact remains that the vast majority of professional games aren't televised.

I'd be delighted if this rule change came in, it's the worse thing about football IMHO.

The time thing is a good idea in theory. I got fed up of watching sides like Southow or Barrport or whoever taking 3 hours over a goal kick as soon as the game kicked off so it's a shame it wasn't considered a while back!

The penalty idea's nonsense though.

What i want to see is an end to an injured player walking onto the pitch then sitting down getting the game stopped and waiting for a sub to warm up. If he could walk onto the pitch he can at least crawl off again, soon stop if refs ignored them

If you send off time wasters then our keeper would be sent off every time we're defending a lead.

Then he should stop


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

They should look at Rugby Union to how the refs get respect, no swearing etc. they dont stand for it.
