When we’re 1-0 up in the play off final with 30 seconds to go I hope to Christ Waterfall goes down and holds his head regardless of whether he’s injured or not…
Don’t worry, if we’re 1-0 up in the playoff final with 30 seconds to go, you won’t have to wait for Luke Waterfall to playact… I’ll go rolling on from the sidelines clutching my head and screaming in agony! |

If time control was done properly and the clock was visibly stopped when play was stopped it would deal with a lot of the problems of abuse of time. Football is so slow to change sometimes, having the referee still expected to keep track of how much time has been accrued. They frequently get it wrong and just pluck the first figure that comes to mind I suspect.

Exactly this. I went to a rugby match this weekend and the clock stops when there's no play, it keeps things simple and no one has to calculate anything. |

I just don’t see the issue to be honest. It gets on some peoples nerves yet literally every team is guilty of it…
If we’re looking to change things in football there are far bigger things to focus on…

Very true but we can focus on more than one thing at a time. |

We can but worrying about who records the time is low on the priority list… The focus on the effects and lasting damage caused by head injuries, heading the ball etc is serious…worrying that people go down and feign injury in a game where winning has become more than just 3 points and pride is not… |

In 10 or 20 years time, will heading be allowed? I believe it's no longer coached in kids football (certainly isn't in the earlier years) and there are limits on how much heading adults can do during training which, you would expect, will make heading ability much worse over time. Understand the reasons behind it but I wonder how damaging a correct header is compared to a misjudged one too. |

Don’t know about you lot but am sick and tired of this play acting that as crept into this league every time a team is under pressure the player drops to the floor clutching their head refs have got to wise up to it quickly
Cheltenham are the worst I've seen at BP over the last few seasons by a country mile, shocking. |

Either...
A. Make any player with a head "injury" leave the field to be assessed properly by an independant consultant
B. Use the VAR footage retrospectively and fine/suspend any player clearly feigning injury. That can be either were there is clearly no contact made or the old "three limps and I am cured" contact scenarios.

Time control is already being done properly. The Ref has two watches, one continues through, the other is stopped for injuries and such. When people think teams score in the 94th minute when 5 minutes have been allowed for stoppages they are wrong as the Referees watch which gets stopped will only read 89 minutes! As for saying “they frequently getting it wrong” give your head a wobble.😉  |
