Have a look at some of the proposals being made by the International Football Association Board :

It wouldn't make any difference by default which is why it's stupid. If they're going to introduce clock stoppages then it should be in a 90 minute game to actually see the benefit of no time wasting, otherwise your changing a fundamental part of the game to keep it the sameWhy not, if they are going to stop the clock for every stoppage, it won't make much difference to the time the ball is in play.

Exactly, which is why making it a fixed 60 instead of a free flowing 60 out of 90 would be pointless, its intentionally changing something to make it the sameNo, what you get now is varied time games. If you do it this way you fix the time. Keeping the fixed time at 90 would be too much, as now it's often around 60m or even less.

No it's not. It's changing something to make it a fixed time as opposed to the variable we get now.
It wouldn't be a fixed time, as you can't know how long/often the ball will be out of play.
I like football I'm a 35 year old dinosaur I guess, I've said many times I'm not a fan of bringing too much video refine in. The controversy and variation in games makes football what it is. Different refs, different lengths of grass, different sized pitches, different teams playing different styles it's beautiful. I know many disagree but it's my opinion god admit, I can see teams using the shorter game time to play anti football, more direct, more negative. Yes I agree actual true game time isn't 90 mins but physiologically it is. Why not keep it 90 mins and simply stop the clock when the ball is out of play, if the egotists need to change something.
Let's face it the powers that be in football are mostly stupid or corrupt, see the last World Cup bid for example.
But you don't know how much real world time the stoppages in the new scenario could take overall whereas now its no more than 45-50 minutes per half whatever happens. The game will still have the same amount of playing time at 60 minutes but the actual time from kickoff to full time could be way longerThat's exactly what they are proposing, that the game clock stops whenever the ball is dead and that the ball is in play for exactly 60 mins.
I think you're missing the point, this is a measure to prevent some of the time wasting that happens now. And It won't necessarily be shorter, in some cases the ball will be in play longer than it is now.

Would never happen as tv companies would find it harder to schedule ad breaks.
At the moment it's a set 90 min game (plus 3-4 mins stoppage) so they pretty much know the time of ad breaks. If they stop the clock every time the ball leaves play the actual times for games ending will vary quite a bit... don't mind the idea of stopping the clock in last 5-10 mins as would cut back on some of the crazy time wasting
The rule is that when the player kicks the ball it is back in play so if the keeper saves it it is still in play and the game continues, it's quite simple so I see no reason to complicate it.There's some good ideas in there, but I'm not sure about the 30 minute half idea. I'd rather see refs be a bit more strict about time wasting.
The idea of stopping rebounds after penalties seems fair. If a goalkeeper saves the penalty then it's very harsh that they are then expected to try and save a follow up.
Allowing Referees to award a goal for a handball on the line seems fair as well.
