Graham Paddons Beard 2,615 Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) We got reported , and fined , after the hapless Stroud missed a penalty that 27,000 other people saw. Today Sunderland surrounded the ref ? I though the 3rd player got booked now? Or is this another directive that has already been binned? Edited March 12, 2023 by Graham Paddons Beard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,461 Posted March 12, 2023 Some rules aren't worth the paper they're written on, such as dissent and the goalkeeper holding on to the ball for a maximum of six seconds. There really needs to be a massive worldwide clampdown on both dissent and time-wasting. Collina is pushing hard on the latter, but the former needs to be dealt with as well, because the way players treat officials is disgusting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beetley Yellow 57 Posted March 12, 2023 The goalkeeper catching the ball and throwing himself on the ground is now an almost universally used time wasting tactic. It becomes painfully obvious as soon as you become aware of it, it usually wastes 20s+ and I cannot believe it has not been picked up and made a bookable offence. That and the seemingly interminable substitutions we now have in the game. It was always annoying when used as a tactic to break up play in the final minutes of the game, it is even more so now the numbers available have increased. I always wondered why a simple rule of no subs to be made after 80/85 mins could not be introduced or at the very least not allowed during injury time. That and/or add a more realistic time for subs made. 30s for each occurrence is now a joke, when 3 are made at once, invariably each player (on the winning side), do the ‘who me?’ charade, applaud the crowd and only then slowly trudge off, a procedure sequentially repeated for players 2 and 3 being replaced. Independent time keeping and a ref with an option to declare ‘time off’ (as per rugby union) would be quite startling I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
