Went to to Spurs v Brighton last night and it was like a replay of Town v FGR from the time wasting perspective. Goalkeeper shamelessly wiping every spot of dirt off the ball, then walking back to move it 2mm before every goal kick. Then going through a cabaret act with a defender about who was going to take free kicks to waste another few seconds. Crowd were screaming for a booking after 15 mins but no action. After 25 minutes referee spoke to the Brighton captain but no bookings.
4th official added 2 minutes but that was due to an injury.
At some point somebody has to recognise that we pay good money to watch footie, not some overpaid tarts wasting time.
By the way, if you enjoy a bet, Brighton to go down might be worth a few quid, they were awful

Also whatch how long most goalkeepers keep the ball in their hands, I thought the rule was 6 seconds but I have never seen a goalie flagged for this. It makes you wonder if the TV companies do not want a game to overrun as it would spoil their schedules, unless every ref is just not capable of enforcing the rules.
