Last year I’m sure IFAB announced the possible introduction of 30 minute halves (time stopped out of play) but I’ve never read anything since about whether they trialed it. Seemed like a sound idea to me and would do well in getting rid of much ‘time-wasting’.
Will never happen. Tv rules and the will want games to fit their schedules.
Sure.Care to re-visit this one at all?
All sounds a bit tin foil hatty if im honest.
The reason he brought Kane on though is brilliant. So the crowd can see him. That’s proper football.Gutted Poch didn't save a sub to take Kane off immediately after his goal, would have been proper funny
The real winners in the proposed system would be the fans because they won't have to put up with players deliberately time-wasting, because the clock is stopped.

Absolutely. As you say, there is absolutely no reason why this should be the case in a professional sport.Well, exactly!
Sorry if I rant about this but I come from an Aussie Rules background and just find the "added time" system here completely bizarre.
Just getting rid of "timewasting" itself would be worth it. Isn't this all just obvious?! lol

Not for another three months, old chap! Long way to go yet.Ahem, shouldn't you be eating fish or something?
Well, exactly!

About 45 minutes per half if the clock time was 30 minutes.That’s part of the game, always has been always will be. This isn’t an American sport where you can stop the clock and finish on a buzzer.
You are entitled to your opinion but it’s a terrible idea.
Do you know how long some games would go on for if they stopped the clock when the ball went out or for injuries and subs etc..
Get your point on open to corruption etc.. but its incredibly unlikely a situation like that would happen to unfold in a match where a ref was being paid off.
I’m sure it would get looked at when it seems a ref is playing too much or too little
It was a pity thing tonight always is in Cup games, if that was a league game it would have been the usual 3 mins to maintain integrity
A proposal to scrap 45-minute halves is to be looked at by football's lawmakers to deter time-wasting.
Instead, there could be two periods of 30 minutes with the clock stopped whenever the ball goes out of play.
Lawmaking body the International Football Association Board (Ifab) says matches only see about 60 minutes of "effective playing time" out of 90.

But the difference here is there have been countless times where wrong decisions by a ref have directly affected the outcome of games.Suggesting a "stop clock" policy is no different to suggesting goal line technology and VAR.
well, I definitely agree that ' he should stay here'Sure.
I stand by what I said.
He should stay here.
He's not ready for the step up.
And we should have started 4231.
I say what I mean.
Fair enough. Culture sport shock and bug bear of mine lolBut the difference here is there have been countless times where wrong decisions by a ref have directly affected the outcome of games.
So using technology in that instance is common sense, refs aren't robots, they won't see everything.
Re: the Fergie time thing you mentioned, tongue in cheek or not, its a bit tin foil hatty to suggest something untoward was going on imo.
No big deal, I just think as stop clock is unnecessary, that's all.
Well it’s not really is it? The fact that the World and his Wife refer to “Fergie time” as a thing suggests that it’s not a “conspiracy theory” but something that happened so regularly that almost everyone recognised it as such and gave it a name. Christ, it even gets referred to now by commentators and pundits. It wasn’t an urban myth, it was an occurrence that happened so regularly that EVERY team’s fans recognise it.But the difference here is there have been countless times where wrong decisions by a ref have directly affected the outcome of games.

No that's where you're getting things a bit mixed up I think mate.Well it’s not really is it?
