Guardiola, De Bruyne, Varane and others are complaining about the decision made to add the real time for time wasting, goal celebrations, substitutions and all the other tactics used by everyone in all the leagues. Additionally, mobbing the referee and abusing the officials will be dealt with.

Long overdue is my view. The hypocrisy of those speaking out against it is staggering. If they do not like it, the answer is in their own hands. Stop doing it!

The ref added 13 minutes to the second half in the Community shield match. Did he make it up for the hell of it?

Perhaps even diving will be added to the agenda……I somehow doubt it as we all complain bitterly when our opponents do it, but scream for free kicks and penalties when it is one of ours.

In terms of wastes of time, I suggest throw ins need to be replaced. How much time is wasted while players tried to find someone who is not marked up?
