I'm sure it'll never happen, sadly, because it would mean shortening each half and FIFA will never have the balls to go for it but I think an independent time-keeper would bring a massive improvement to the game. Fans are being screwed over by deliberately unsporting tactics time and again...
Wasn't it McDonald too that kicked the ball away when we were trying to take a quick throw when Millwall were really under the cosh? Yellow card every time but not today ... because he'd already been booked.
