This clearly shows a steady increase in the time the ball is in play 2006 - 2022.

Time-wasting has always been an issue.  Added time rarely allows for the full extent of time-wasting.  One possible solution to consider is changing the rules by adding on double-time for time-wasting.  

Faking head injuries is another more difficult issue.  Hard to tell what is genuine and what is not.  Some teams are using this to gain a tactical advantage.

Players will always try and take advantage of any rule or new rule.  In tennis comfort breaks are used for tactical reasons at key moments.  

An accurate measurement of playing time, and non-playing time would help in football though.

Indeed, it's all good. In the year 2215 we'll be seeing a full 90 mins

I recall under the Cowley's at Lincoln, Paul Farman religiously went down with "cramp" after about an hour. On came the physio and across went the other 10 players for a team talk.

Nah, it'll take a bit longer than that for Paul to get us up that high in the footie pyramid. .

It works well in rugby. Player goes down injured ref signals the clock to stop. Clock starts again when play restarts.

Also as in rugby the has to go out of play before the ref blows for time.

Head injuries are a problem. But if there's no time wasting because of the clock stopping, then there's no point other than to disrupt the game. However if the "injured " player has to stay off the pitch for longer, instead of being waved straight back on then he would be disadvantaged.

What's not to like?
