The deliberate time-wasting feels so much worse this season across the board. Something needs to be done otherwise this sport is going to become unwatchable
Needs to be something done about it- though its a tricky one.
Yes because they have to assume there is an injury for the one rarer time there is one. The ref should be able to see straight through something like we just saw though. The trainer didn’t even bother to take his kit on. Ridiculous stuff.
It wasn't time wasting. It was due to them temporarily being down to 10 whilst one of their defenders was getting treatment for a bloody nose. Cheating fecks
I like the if a goalie has treatment an outfield player has to go off for the 30 seconds or whatever it is
It won't stop it, but but least there is the same consequence.

Or perhaps allow it only to apply when the referee has not seen any obvious potential cause of injury. If the keeper gets clattered in a challenge, there should be no penalty for obvious reasons.
