New timewasting rule 16:08 - Jul 27 with 5750 viewsKensalT

Attempt to eradicate goalkeeper tactical timeouts

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/fo

"Earlier this year, Ifab decided against changing the law and invited leagues to volunteer for trials.

Pro Ref, led by chief refereeing officer Howard Webb, has been in discussions with the leagues to determine how to tackle the issue. It settled on a team having to remove an outfield player from the field.

If a referee signals that the physio can come on to treat a goalkeeper, the coach will have 10 seconds to nominate another player to leave the pitch for one minute, telling the fourth official of their choice.

If no player has been selected within 10 seconds, the captain must leave the field.

If clearance is received by the Ifab in time, the first game to feature the trial will be the Carabao Cup preliminary round tie between Tranmere and Rochdale on Saturday, 1 August."

Or, how about the other side chooses which outfield player goes off?

In relation to outfield players, I still don't see why treatment isn't administered while play continues, as in rugby. If its serious then stop the game and I think we know when it is and when it isnt!

Oh, not that Mrs PH is in to footy, but she's right on this one: a yellow card should be a 10 minute sin bin in the match the card was brandished.


That works in rugby because they play to the clock.

In football it would just increase time wasting.

Love the idea of the sin bin, what happens with yellow cards in 90+ mins?

Damn it, mistaken downvote.

Absolutely agree


You'd think this would be one of the easier things to do.
If the ball is in the quadrant then the play is live. After about three penalties this all stops

I think it's a really good change. It's not rocket science, it doesn't solve all the games problems and it's easy to knit pick it.

However, it's a positive step and should close a big door that is too frequently opened to spoil tactics, that are ruining the game as a spectacle.


What does it actually change? Keepers can still go down, just means they have to make a sub maybe the player furthest away from the bench who then runs to the other side of the pitch and is taken off again a minute or so later. Sounds like a farce to me.

Just stop your watch when they sit down and add the time on, it really shouldn't be that complicated


Edit this, just seen you don't bring a sub on, that makes more sense, the article I read was wrong

Now get rid of WWE at corners. Pisses me right off.


easy way to do this is as soon as the ball is placed for the corner the ball is live so any holding, pushing shoving can be given as a foul.

All players have to go straight to the centre circle the minute the ref lets the physio on to "treat" the keeper. The manager of the side whose keeper is receiving "treatment" has to go on all fours and is force fed serving spoons of dog shit until the game restarts. Two weeks of Alex Neil and Scott Parker being fed dog shit and we might see an end to the strange new phenomena of keepers getting cramp whenever their teams are under the cosh. Got to be worth a try?


Players will go down with cramp once inside the centre circle

Get out of that wise guys🫢

captains fantastic

I don't want to nitpick but this isn't a change to the laws, it's just a trial.

IMHO the so called "biggest league in the world" isn't the place to be trying out whacky new ideas - even if it is trying to change something that everyone hates.

If you really want to stress test a new gamesmanship rule you should try it out on the experts. Give it to Argentinian football for a year and see how many ways they find to tear it apart.

Then every team will make the goalkeeper their captain because he can't go off!

You realise you're adding extra layers of admin.

Every time a captain or vice captain goes off another player has to be nominated with the officials being notified.

That in itself could become another time wasting tactic

It's a temporary change.

I hate the time-wasting and that includes moments when a goalkeeper is on his feet and has caught the ball cleanly, but decides to fall to the ground.
But the proposal sounds complicated. Maybe anything would be?
So, without the laws having to be changed, here is a suggestion. I suggest that the crowd should slow handclap every time they witness shithousery of the kind that has developed in recent years. There is a catch, however. It cannot be one-sided. We have to inflict that on our own team, when necessary.
