Hopefully cuts out all the time-wasting that players/clubs employ and then somehow the officials conclude only 2 minutes at the end of a half I hope domestic leagues/FAs adopt it.

Not stopping the clock is stupid but it’s better than commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 1,437 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I feel bad for the players. Having to play so many extra minutes in compressed tournaments is bound to take a toll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think about how added time is calculated they’re actually not playing more time. I.e time wasting, injuries, substitutions, goals, are all non active moments of the game.

Michael 1,116 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 It's certainly something new, that the players have had to get used to. But I agree with those who support this new procedure, as it seems fairer in my opinion. In theory, it should really favour the bigger teams, as it gives them more time to crack open opposition defences. But we've still seen several shock results at this World Cup.

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Once you then add 30 minutes extra time if it is a draw onto the already 100+ minute game the idea goes from interesting to thoughtless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted December 12, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted December 12, 2022 I've liked how it's worked in this tournament and would like to see it at least trialled in league matches. There's always going to be a 'loophole' and that needs to be considered to stop, for example, a player feigning an injury just so the manager can pass on information to the other players, but I think it's definitely something to trial and consider. It's not going to be detrimental to a game like VAR is on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
