    Some interesting ideas and whilst I understand that teams winning by a narrow margin in close run games especially will always resort to various tactics in the closing minutes of a match to disrupt any momentum the opposition may try and build, blatant time-wasting annoys me too. Game management doesn't necessarily have to be like this and the current situation where added time is increasingly closer to 9 minutes rather than 3 can be farcical. I can see how the idea of changing from a running clock to a stop watch for the last 15 may appeal.

    Rugby hasa good approach. The ref calls stop and start to the clock. Let him call out "stop" through his mic and the clock stops.
    Can't be difficult to implent. Ther are how many ref assistants per game now? Twenty. Let one operate the clock. Retaining ball possession while defending a slender lead is an art in the game Anybody reading our ball possession stats will think it's a black art....cause we are shyte at it.
