Yorkie Bear 738 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jul/28/premier-league-referees-to-add-on-time-lost-for-goal-celebrations-this-season In the English Leagues this season the exact time lost during goal celebrations will be measured by referees in the coming season, as part of a move to clamp down on dark arts and time-wasting. Other changes will involve players receiving treatment off the field whenever possible to promote player safety and deter teams from slowing the game. Exceptions include when a goalkeeper is injured or if players from the same team have collided. In circumstances where a player declines medical assistance, a teammate perceived to then purposely delay the restart will be cautioned. Referees have been reminded to book players who fail to respect the required distance at free-kicks. These seem to be FIFA directives but I've not heard of any changes to happen in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 11,532 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I liked the extra time added during the World Cup. It was a good change. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regulation issue is the celtic Watch which is capable of variable time keeping in any match no matter what teams participate in order to meet one purpose only. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am disinclined to give them the benefit of that doubt: I think they know, and have always known, the whither, and, of course, the why. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand This is how it should go. -Guy drops like he took a 5.56 to the torso. --Ref stops play, arrives and asks directly "are you injured?" The player must answer directly. If he does not answer or answers in the affirmative the ref will wave a medical crew over to remove the player from the pitch (quickly). These crews will be non-affiliated, prepositioned, licensed EMS personnel (to reduce dawdling). Once the player is removed from the pitch he must remain off of the pitch for a mandatory five minute injury evaluation. The manager has the option of immediately replacing him with another player. However, this will count as one of the manager's subs. Either way, play resumes as soon as the final EMS member exits. --If the player says that he is not injured then play will immediately resume. --Non injury time (players not pulled from the pitch) would not count toward extra time. --The ref is the key here as the faster he responds, asks the question and summons the crew (if required)...the sooner the game will commence. All of this faking shit would be nipped at the bud. Not rocket surgery. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd waste even more time securing the player to a stretchers or similar. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
