Spurs spending a year shitting themselves at Wembley and being forced to sell all their best players cause they want champos football just before moving into their new ground would be very, very spurs wouldn’t it

there was also a large settlement with the family of the victim if I remember correctly.

Look how little football you end up actually getting, the lack of injury time given and the inconsistency at which it’s calculated is a big pet peeve of mine. 47 minutes play at Burnley, mental.

The young Norweigen lad was great for Chelsea.

aye i can’t get on board with the rugby-style stopped clock thing, cos of the inevitable American Football-esque ad-breaks that’ll ensue. Just get the refs to actually add on a suitable amount of extra time rather than 3-6 minutes unless someone was stretchered off.

Nope, just stop replying to my posts.

Nope :kissing_heart:

Exactly, just giving a default of 2/3 minutes regardless of the actual amount of football played absolutely does my head in.

Second clock controlled by an official that starts at a break then stops when play restarts?

#293

And how fans (of a winning team) froth at the mouth if it’s anything more Than 3 mins. Like I get it being nervy, but it’s what football is about.

That’s not necessarily manageable - you’d have ended up with 40+ minutes of extra time at Burnley!

#295

Maybe but extra time shouldn’t take the amount of time the ball’s been in open play for to over 60 minutes.

*actually this isn’t perfect, but something like that.

Absolutely.

The above debate is brought to you by lads who’ve blatantly never travelled half the length of the country for a midweek away game.

Aye, I know. Stopped clock and actually playing 90 minutes would be absurd. It’s just crazy how much of a discrepancy there is sometimes. Time wasting is the most rewarded form of cheating in the game innit, literally never gets punished and is always ultra effective.

Fair enough, 40 extra minutes in Burnley sounds like a Dantean circle of hell punishment

I think having a bit more football, or consistency with why it’s applied. More games should have 0-1 minutes (like the Liverpool match) then more games should have 5-6 minutes (like the Burnley game) as long as it’s proportional
