Injury time

I think it needs tweaking as there's a risk that some games will get silly amounts of injury time added.

20 minutes anyone?

I could get a second Bovril drunk in that time.

It’s not injury time any longer, it’s added time for goal celebrations, time wasted at throw ins, corners etc. If the players don’t like it they shouldn’t waste bloody time. I pay for a 90 minute game and thats what I want to see.
 
It’s not been injury time for years, it’s “Added time” and as said is all time the ball is out of play added together. I thought the kicking the ball away etc was also a card now? Hubby did it and. Lavery headed the ball into the stand when it went out, thought he was certain to get a yellow
 
I noticed today when players went down they all got up sharpish and carried on whereas before they’d have rolled around like they’d been shot. Game was more interesting and quite fast flowing

Maybe they'll give them a couple of games grace to get used to it. Blimey, we got four yellows as it is!!

Kevin Gallagher said on Lancs that some Rovers fans were going after 80 mins, they had 9 mins of added time which means they missed a fifth of the game!! Am hoping it will settle as the season goes on as those additional minutes can't be good for the players and I wonder a bit like extra time in a cup game if you'll ever see a decent period of play in those added on minutes.
 
There have been quite a few rule changes for this season as discussed on the last Seasiders Podcast.
Much as I get the time wasting bit I can't say I'd be looking forward to a potential 10 minutes or more tacked on to the end of each half especially in the depths of winter.
It was 7 minutes added for each half yesterday. Those that went for the early pies around 42 minutes must have finished them before the half ended!
 
Quite near the end of the game one of our players helped the ball into the crowd 🤔 And the ball boys weren't so quick to get the ball back in play either. They need to recalibrate themselves if they don't want all that added time.
 
I think it needs tweaking. I don't think anyone was calling for games like ours yesterday to have every second added on and 2 or 3 mins each half would have been fine. It's the games and teams with the blatant time wasting that needed clamping down on.
 
It’s potentially going to be a pain in the bladder . Imagine needing a slash on 35 minutes and then having ten minutes added time . Hanging on for ten minutes is bad enough , but 20 🥵🥵🥵

There were spares with the ball boys all round the pitch. Very little time wasted to restart once the ball had gone out. I noticed hubby helped a ball into the crowd but he already had a spare from the ball boy.

I obviously saw it differently to you
 
Yep added time for everytime the ball isn't in play. Multi ball system in operation, not 100% but something about the offside rule and away goals classed above home goals when counting difference in the table.

A bit annoying really as recently I've parked on the carpark and had 3 hours, however got there a bit early and it was cutting it fine getting back. Teams play differently at times in added time too, maybe that will change as they adjust.

Yes time wasting should be dealt with, but this is going too far. Games at Northampton and Doncaster had 15 minutes of additional time, which is ridiculous. No doubt it will be sorted out when the Prem boys begin to moan about it.

The other change this season has been a tightening up of bookings for kicking the ball away and dissent. Even questioning why a decision went the wrong way is likely to result in a yellow. There will be loads more bookings and suspensions this season, disrupting the game.

These rules have been introduced by IFAB whose Technical Director is David Elleray - he who was one of the strictest, jobsworth referees in the game. The job of a referee is to help the game flow, not to be in control of it - control is what the teams compete for. I don't think Elleray ever understood the role of the ref.

The moral this season is that fans shouldn't buy timed / advance rail tickets for their journey home - they may not make the train.
 
It's a good thing, now everyone knows when the game will end (subject to additional additional time after 45 & 90mins).

It should eliminate the pantomime haranguing of the 4th official by gobshite managers & coaches before the final whistle is due.

The time added is a minimum. Imagine a 9 min added on and going 30s over. There will be bedlem from every quarter, players, managers, fans.

It's a stupid idea imo and won't last.

To think I used to shout at the ref at 4.45 'c'mon ref me teas ready'.

Now it's 'the last bus is due in 5 minutes'.

Give it a few games, and everyone with any sense will accept that there'll usually be another 30 - 60secs added for time added between minutes 90 - 99.
In the Charity Shield match it was obvious after that clash of heads in additional time that there'd be a hefty amount of additional additional time.

Fair enough. Apols.

However I do think that an independent timekeeper is the way in the future. I just can't understand why they want to go from A ...B...C when they know E is the answer, just go there from the off.
 
I think the interesting thing will be how many goals are scored in this time and whether it will affect things come the end of the season.
One thing it should crack down on is time wasting.

Probably because they don't like the idea that they would be seen to be following Rugby's lead.
 
Notice there’s some 8pm games tonight - wonder if this additional time might make some think about going back to 7.30pm?
 
Kevin de Bruyne has said he’s not happy about it, especially if they’re playing in Europe mid week and premier league at the weekend, it could ad half an hour or more to their playing time. I can see his point, but maybe he should have a word with Erling Haaland to stop taking the ball to the corner flag ten minutes from time.

Don't think taking the ball to the corner flag results in added time.

It doesn’t, which makes the efforts to add time for time wasting difficult to justify. Players will find ways to waste time legally if they need to.
 
My worry is that it might slow the game down when the ball is in play, if games are regularly going to be extended by 10 - 15 minutes each half, then players are going to have to pace themselves much more, so there'll be lots more passing the ball around aimlessly at the back, and a lot less attacking action, which doesn't sound like a good thing to me.

Plus, more playing time, more chance of injuries

The elite players who are complaining about burnout should first be pressurising FIFA & UEFA to cut down on the number of games they're being expected to play.

According to today's Times, Rodri played in nine different competitions last season.
Raphael Varane has voiced concern that longer games would lead to dangerous demands on players' physical and mental wellbeing.
But in the last five seasons he's played over 250 games for France, Real Madrid & ManYoo - a burden he acknowledged when he retired from international football in March, when he said "The calendar is already more than full; the players are overworked, and it will get even worse".

And it will indeed get worse - extra Champions League games in 2024/25, an expanded World Cup in 2026 - as FIFA & UEFA chase even more games and even more revenue.
