Not sure it's 'time wasting' per se but the keeper going down cramp 20 minutes in because the manager has realised he's set up the team up wrong and wants a 5 minute discussion with the outfield players really anoys me.
The best way to avoid the timewasting is to start adding proper added on time - when the 4th official boards start going up with 12 added minutes teams will stop dicking around so much.
Just stop the clock for injuries and substitutions , book anyone standing over the ball to stop a free kick and get keepers to get rid of the ball within a certain time .
By clamping down, I assume they mean the ref will be stopping play for 45 seconds to walk over, telling the player to speed up and warning the player that he'll get booked if it does it 1,400 more times.

Believe there was a "six second" rule in force a few years ago, whether it's still in the rules is a bit ambiguous if you google it. Like most laws in the game, refs are all over it for a start, then it's relaxed over time, as per all the pushing and pulling at set pieces.

Surely banning the players from going over to the bench en mass would be a starting point in the tactical injury scenario. Bookings and sending offs would stop it

Even the Northern Ireland keeper did that in the women’s Euros a few weeks back. That trick certainly helped Wigan and Sunderland at PR last season.
I see 2 main sorts of timewasting. 1. Dawdling over set pieces. 2. Feigning light injuries.
You can't really do anything about number 2, as the responsible official you have a duty to treat every injury as if it were genuine. All you can do is be on it with adding time at the end.
With number 1 there's always going to be grey zones. There is a normal time lag at all set pieces whilst the team sets themselves up, whilst players work to find space and things like that. When setting up/searching for the right moment to play the ball turns into deliberate timewasting is always going to be marginal judgement call.

This. Stoppage time is pitiful every week and it doesn't ever get played. You just time waste during stoppage time and it never gets added on again.

A lot of things we consider timewasting actually technically aren't though. We all scream blue murder about opposition teams dawdling over throw-ins, goal kicks and free kicks, but I don't think the law stipulates the referee adding time on for them. The key if you're chasing the game is just to avoid giving away free kicks and throw ins, whilst still gaining possession, territory and putting on pressure. We're bad at that and blame the ref.

Simple. The crowd, players and management teams can then see him stop and restart his watch and everyone will know instantly how much is being added on. He can also then be questioned if those who judge performance if they believe he is getting it wrong one way or another for certain instances.

Adding time is only ever a poor solution. Time wasting is not just about the time, but about breaking up momentum, getting the defending team a breather and making the whole game scrappy to knock the attacking side off their stride.
Its very simple- one warning, then cards. None of this talking to them repeatedly.
