NEW RULES/LAWS
Under the new rules next season the player going off has to leave the pitch by the shortest route, in Ali's case this would have been right in front of the Palace fans behind the goal. From there he would have had to walk around a quarter of the ground, always in front of opposing fans. Is this such a good idea. It could give some idiot 60 seconds in which to have a bottle or something ready. And all the time the player is walking alone.

Come on...surely you know this is a tried and trusted way of disrupting a build-up of pressure from the team desperately trying to equalise in the final minutes?
Hence you never hear the expression "where the feck did the ref get all that added time from?".
Yes, I know that, but I suspect it disrupts both teams, hence no actual gain. But most people were suggesting it was to run down the clock.

Seriously?
Christ all ****ing mighty.
I just wasted 2 minutes of my life reading this thread.
And, go on then, someone tell me it was only one minute, and it isn't my life anyway. Then someone else can say that my point was undermisstood.
I don't have a ****ing point!. And neither does anyone else on this thread.

On his last warning
CH brought him on to up the mental level and energy the team were lacking. It was a well thought out plan which gave the Palace players something knew to think about. For me, the substitution was the key part in our win. It was CH's biggest and boldest move and payed off massively. Tactical genius.

How does that work then? - The clock is still running when the player goes off so if it takes 30 seconds to go off and 30 seconds are added, that 15 seconds left is still going to be 15 seconds and it's not upped to 30 - 35 seconds remaining. If the player going off takes 40 seconds and only 30 are added, that remaining 15 seconds suddenly becomes 5 seconds left.
However, as others have already said before, it's more about disrupting momentum than clock management.

Thought they gave 30s for a sub. If your man can take longer, your in creditAnd it breaks up play, allows you to re-organise etc
They might in theory be supposed to add on time, but in practice they rarely do. So, it was time-wasting. Should have been Murray coming off though - the poor old bugger looked knackered!
