EFL regulation changes 2023/24 on 15:17 - Jun 8 with 1219 views | kizaitfc | Although I like the reasoning for the multi ball system it can cause more issues than it solves. For example, ball goes into the crowd, player picks up ball from the cone, the crowd belatedly throw the ball back onto the pitch causing the referee to stop the game due to there being two balls on the pitch. There are two simple answers to this whole time wasting issue, referees need to grow a pair and start issuing yellows earlier or there needs to be a better system of counting the time the ball is out of play so an appropriate amount of time is added on. A third option is to simply stop the clock when the ball goes out of play, although I fear this could lead to some lengthy games. |  |

I'm sure I read a theory before about shortening the game to 80 minutes and then stopping the clock for stopages to counter time wasting methods. Interesting theory but I don't know how that would work seeing as though the ball is in play on average for around 55 minutes. It would mean most games lasting until well into the evening. |  | |  |

I think what you said is correct but it was proposed with 60 minute games not 80. |  | |  |

Agree as it was previously scrapped for a reason. Although back then there wasn’t the cone system in place and it wasn’t mandatory. The was a multi ball system in place during the away play off leg at West Ham but only until they took the lead. But I’m not bitter for remembering that. |  | |  |

I think people over-simplify this. Fact is stoppages in football aren't of a defined length and every time the ball goes out of play, the team in possession will inadvertently delay the restart in ways that are perfectly legitimate: choosing who takes the set piece, getting to the place where the set piece is taken, taking a moment to choose a pass, signalling your set play, waiting for another player to find space/evade their marker. All of those things are legitimate parts of restarting play and whether the team is deliberately choosing to do them slowly in order to waste time is a subjective judgement for the referee. I think there would potentially be unintended consequences, both for getting free with the yellow cards every time some dawdles and for deciding that every stoppage is dead time that you add on later. |  |

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was pleased the World Cup had games which frequently went to 100+ minutes? |  |

It was disappointing that the PL immediately dismissed that becoming the norm in this country. |  | |  |

If that’s going to be the norm, I hope evening games will start at 7.15 latest. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Don't they issue instructions, before the start of each season, on how the rules of the game will be interpreted/applied. |  |
