Absolutely shockingly terrible idea.

I'm trying to think of the last big rules upheaval that's been bought into football, beyond tinkering with off-side.
I reckon it's not allowing the goalie to pick up a back pass.
I seem to remember at the time, 'we' hated this Johnny Foreigner rule change, because the last time 'our' game needed was speeding up.

Too much tinkering with a game that has served us well for......what ? 150 years.
A "no" from me.

Disagree. The game is 90 minutes. If the clock was stopped everytime the ball went out of play or kicked over the stand then the point of doing that would disappear (ie the deliberate action of doing that)! There wouldn't be any further delay in the game other than the fact that we would see 90 minutes of football rather than about 70!

Actually i would LOVE the american football idea of miking the ref where he explains to the whole world his decision for the booking but maybe that deserves its own thread!

(excuse drifting off my own thread topic but since u raised the point) ..But then matches would need to start an hour earlier as a 90 minute match could actually take over 2 hours easily! Lets face it the "the old days" extra time was rarely given for much more than a prolonged injury timeout. Now its very common to have 5+ mins each half. Start adding extra time for corners and throws etc and boy some matches could take even more than an hour per half!

May be but that would be the norm. You would completely eliminate time wasting. It's not like it would be an NFL game where breaks go on for ages and you have time outs and the whole saga for a 60 minute game can last over three hours! In the good old days, I don't recall keepers taking ages to take a goal kick or players near a throw in leaving it for the guy on the furthest side of the pitch or that the late substitute is the player furthest from the dugouts!
In reality I suspect the 90 minute game, including interval, would take about 2 hours.

That, or they should face the cameras as they come off the pitch just as players and managers are contractually obliged to do. However, I believe PGMOL don't want them to. They should be accountable. If refereeing was improved then the game would be improved.

What a Pansy Potter game it has turned into played in multicoloured carpet slippers . Man's game...... not any more . Yellow cards for naff all , too many red cards a season . Fans deprived of 11 v 11 . So many bans . Please revert to Chelsea v Leeds 1970 lovely !!!

in ice hockey if a keeper gets a sin bin then a designted outfield player does it for him, so imagine that will be the case

The idea is for dissent, so swearing at the ref wouldn't be included. That's a red card offence - when acted upon!
