    Some of that sounds really positive, although I don't have much faith in the football authorities to execute changes like this without just making it ever more complicated in the process.

    The bit about players going off for treatment makes a lot of sense - they really do take the piss with the time wasting sometimes and then the refs let them straight back on - but I couldn't really make sense of what the changes are exactly, from the way it's worded.

    See how it goes I suppose.

    If a player has to leave the pitch for, or because of, treatment then the ****er who fouls him should leave the field too rather than gain an advantage.

    Go for a Thomas first. At least half hour earlier.

    I'd say it's only a very small percentage of occasions where a player receives treatment that it's actually down to an opposition player doing anything wrong. If it is, the ref already has processes to deal with that.

    This is about time-wasting, all the times that players go down to kill time, go off as per the protocol and then come on again immediately. Mind you, I remember one last season in the Norwich home game where Aarons went off like that and they made him stay off a bit longer for once, and it led to our goal just as he was coming back on.

    I could have sworn I heard someone say that on average a football game lasts for, on average, 50 mins...ie that's actually the time the ball is in play. Beats American football, hands down, that's about 12 minutes. Though the games can last for three hours!!!

    At this rate, it’ll be NFL length games. Maybe just cut it into quarters now, so 22 1/2 minutes per quarter, all games have VAR, at least 12 referees, & a committee to make all decisions.

    One of my current pet hates is when a player goes down injured off the pitch but rolls back on to the pitch.

    Maybe just me but I don't particularly want to be sat or stood in a ground longer than two hours, with 10 minutes added on to each half like for every little stoppage like at the last World Cup.

    Could end up having to miss the end to catch the last train west for evening games as well

    I agree!

    If it leaves the length of a game open to guesswork,then how the **** are you meant to gauge what train to book if you're returning home directly afterwards(I do sometimes and I'm aware that you do).It would also affect some of those who actually live in Hull and rely on being picked up around the stadium due to being infirm/unsteady on their feet?
