A while ago somebody, I believe it was Arsène Wenger, suggested that games should be reduced to 60 minutes total, however, it should be of actual play. This means the clock would stop everytime the ball was not in play, similar to some other sports.
I feel it would solve some of the issues, although not all of them. 2 minutes to take a throw in would not run the clock down nor would moving the ball multiple times between players at a goal kick. It wouldn't stop fake injuries to purely break up the play and I am not sure how that can be fairly overcome.
Thoughts? |  | | |  |

Any player claiming not to be able to continue immediately due to minor or major injury surely should be properly assessed anyway so yeah why not... worth a try. |
I think that is a very good idea, but I think it is too radical for the fossils who run the game. Don't think they would ever do it. |  | | |

I'd like to see substitutions done without stopping play. Bet the player coming off wouldn't spend ages clapping the support before strolling off then. |  | | |

Thats actually a very good suggestion .... NHL reams manage to swap entire lines without hardly any issue without hardly ever ending up with 6 on the ice which is penalised. Give the 4th official something meaniful to manage too. |  | | |

The flip side of that is that we go 1 up just after the extra time is added, then the opponent has the extra time to try and equalise. That doesn’t seem very fair either |
Not really. Wasting time is wasting time. If the time is not wasted because its added on it is fair irrespective of who it happens to benefit at any particular stage of the game. |  |

That is a good idea. Derby did a lot of that with throw ins yesterday too- the whole point of it being a throw rather than a kick-in is supposed to be for speed. |
Believe it or not the throw in comes from the “split” of rules from rugby football. It should be more like futsal with a one step “run up” and absolutely like futsal in that you get 5 seconds to take it. |  | | |

Simple suggestion: if a player goes down injured and the ref is forced to stop the game then that player has to leave the pitch for 10 minutes. If it is a genuine injury then the player can be replaced immediately. But if the player wants to come back on then he has to wait 10 minutes.
It’d put a stop to the type of nonesense Derby were at yesterday.
Cheers,

I would suggest - no medical staff on pitch and no stopping play unless a head or obvious bodily injury. Player must get off the pitch to receive treatment. Cannot come back for at least 2 minutes. |  |

Had another thought... injury break immediately stops the clock and in fact winds it back 30 seconds...however if it had been done yesterday we might all still be there! | | | |

I think even stopping play wouldn't work, teams and players would still do it just to break up play and stop the momentum of the other team. Personally, I would just say for any injuries that require attention and stoppage, the play has to go off the pitch (no matter the injury) for a full body check by the med staff - then is allowed to re enter after 5mins for safety purposes. That would stop them. |  | | |

I understand the thinking behind this, but, if one of our players received a genuine head injury, following a foul, during a game why should we have to play with 10 men? |
You don't. You get a concussion substitute. I actually think all treatment should be off the pitch while play continues except for clearly serious injuries. The player should leave the pitch while play continues and the physio has to make their way around the pitch to treat them. Any head injury should end with an independent off-pitch assessment that takes as long as the medical team deem necessary and they then determine whether the player returns or is obliged to be substituted (true player safety to the fore).
If a player did not leave the pitch because it is a serious injury they should be forced to be substituted too. Any serious injury surely will require that anyway. |  |

I'd say if any player requires treatment for over 1 minute on the field of play, then they must be substituted. Time starts from when the physio enters the field. Any player requiring more than one session of on-field treatment must be substituted. Players may leave the field at any time and have treatment off the pitch, and this does not count towards the above limits.
Therefore only truly hurt players should stop the game. Plus this prevents hurt players from aggrevating injury. | |
