Yorkshire_Canary 1 Posted June 7, 2020 The substitutions won't add any more times to games than they did beforehand - seconds if anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aggy 752 Posted June 7, 2020 Would perhaps stop time wasting subs (a few seconds for a sub is hopeful at best - 30 seconds even for quick ones usually, and if a player slowly walks off and milks it, probably more). That said, a cleverly timed substitution to try and turn things around is a big part of the game. If you limited the times when a sub could be made, you’d be taking that out, or at least minimising it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petriix 2,834 Posted June 7, 2020 I think they should have a giant claw crane come down from the sky and grab the player being substituted; that way the game can carry on while they are hoisted up and deposited in a chute leading directly to the dressing room.

The Raptor 1,199 Posted June 7, 2020 In theory subs should be quicker as the players won't be able to spend 5 minutes turning to clap everyone in the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,778 Posted June 7, 2020 In order to minimise disruption, the Bundesliga and Serie A are permitting five subs per team but they can be done in a maximum of three stoppages, i.e. two double subs and a single, or one triple and two singles. Is this rule happening in the Premier League? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
