If a game of football starts at 3pm and they keep stopping the clock, it could take around five hours to complete a game.
I've heard it suggested that the clock is stopped but game time is reduced to 1 hour? Crazy? On average the ball is currently in play for only 50 odd minutes so you would get to see more football!
