Again, most 'time wasting' isn't to run the clock down, but to disrupt the flow of the game when you're under sustained pressure. That will still happen with a stopped clock.Quote:

It does seem way worse in this division than what I have experienced previously watching Notts. Proper sh!thousery.
The games would go on for about 2 hours. The ball is in play for about 60 minutes, do you want it reducing to that? You'd still get most of the disruptions, as per my previous posts.Quote:

It's our game to manage and protect to get the best sporting product possible.
It does need sorting. Right from the top in terms of rules.
Why have they stopped having balls placed around the pitch which allowed for quick restarts?
If you do the above you could invoke a time limit before possession is transferred. 15 seconds is plenty to get a ball back in to play. If you have a throw in and don’t take it in time, the opposition get the throw in. If you have a corner and don’t take in time, it becomes a goal kick and vice versa. Free kicks the same.
Any player deemed to time waste by arguing with the officials, kicking the ball away or retreating the required distance will be booked and possession moved up to 10 yards in favour of the team in possession (the choice is there’s)
In terms of injuries, it’s a tough one to address, however, this is one where the clock should stop. For me if there is an obvious clash then that’s fine. However, if not, the player in question will be asked to leave the pitch for a 2 minute period with no subs allowed. This would stop the pretend cramping etc
Just a few ideas.
I'd be in favour of all of the aboveQuote:

Interesting to read reactions of our fans over the posts since last night
I share most of them, hurt, frustration, anger and disappointment. But i'm a Notts County Fan through and through. And once the anger dust settles ,will always support them whatever. For a club that has gone through as much as ours, we truly have the most loyal terrific fans
Let's get down to Yeovil on saturday sing our hearts out and get behind the lads.

Is that just in the NL or throughout all football they've stopped? Matchballs are about £100 a pop. Don't know if the league supply them or the club but I'd imagine there are some clubs in non-league who can't afford to have 10 on the go at that price.Quote:
