Something needs to be done about faking injuries at the end of a game to "see it out" it is absolutely brutal. |

Occasional Substitute
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

To stop all the time wasting at substitutions and feigning injuries ,the 4th official should be in charge of the substitutions directly.No involvement with the referee and the game will continue without any delay.When an injury occurs the 4th official should accompany the first aid/medical person on to the pitch.If it's a serious injury then he can advise the referee to halt the game and the injured player can then be taken off the pitch and the game can continue. It's too expensive for many fans too see players wasting time being substituted walking at a snails pace across the park,shaking hands with teammates and waving to the crowd and generally being an arse. This also halt the player who feigns injury as if he's been pole axed by the combined front row of the All a Blacks.Stop cheating FFS. The games all about 90mins. Let us have our money's worth! |

Really like the idea about the subs. Get it done in the background with no fuss and announce it after the ref has been informed but show it on the big screens (where available) straight away. Diving & time wasting does my man boobs in. I'm all for taking points off clubs after an accumulation of cautions for diving. |

Make it easier than that. Just stop a clock when there is an injury/substitution or any of the other on field incidents which the ref is supposed to add on time for. Makes the whole wasting time thing pointless. |

Exactly - Most surveys seem to imply that the ball is only actually in play for 60 mins, so having a "ball in play" clock instead of the ref's guess work would give us a better idea how long is left and play acting would not be a tactic. Timewasting would have to be done "in the corners" and with the ball in play. "10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-'Peep'". Yay! |

Time wasting and diving will get worse. If time is stopped for a foul, and a team is down by a goal with twenty seconds to go, boom, down goes player for a "foul" and is injured, clock is stopped, team gets to set up a set piece. Conversely, the free kick is taken, keeper though catches it, and yeah, I'm sure he'll be in a big hurry to get rid of the ball, knowing in ten seconds the game will be over. Anyways, MLS tried this twenty years ago at the start, and the whole world laughed at the stupid Yanks for trying to screw up "soccer". The time keeping is fine the way it is. |

the keeper has to release the ball in 6 seconds regardless and due too the clock being stopped when the ball is not in play any time wasting done at set pieces will be a waste of time. edit: understand what you meant now , diving may get worse but this needs clamped down on anyway . Any player exaggerating injury or trying to con the ref should be given a 5 game ban or more, it is an embarrassment to the sport and has no place in the game. The tactic you mentioned of winning a set piece could be defended well by a good defender , i.e stand of him untill he makes the move , force him into running down the line and wasting more time.

The losing team, though, will have a lot more time to set a play up if a player is "fouled" or "injured" and the clock has to stop. Like I said MLS tried this twenty years ago. Nobody liked it, it was scrapped, because it doesn't accomplish the things you wish or think it will. Also it is possible that if the clock is stopped for every stoppage games will drag on forever. Look at the NFL. A one hour game, lasts for three hours, and has only about 12-15 minutes of actual action. Stopping the clock in soccer, everytime there is foul or the ball goes out of bounds, or for substitutes to come one will destroy the rhythm of the game. And another thing, harking back to my NFL comparison, advertisers would just love interminable amount of stops in the game. Yeah, just what we need more effeing adverts. And don't think TV companies won't demand each stoppage is 20 seconds to get some adverts in. |

maybe if there was an independent time keeper too inform the ref of how many minutes should be added on, He should stop his clock when the ball is out of play and in form the ref accordingly (trying not too make the time added on too ridiculous) this will save the ref from having too keep looking at his watch whilst he could be watching the game and make injury time a bit more accurate. |

Fair play to Porto for the suggestion and the clubs for agreeing to it. For the first 2 match days so should end up being a pretty substantial donation.
