60-minute games

The amount of time wasting and ‘gamesmanship’ that goes on in every single game is a real frustration for the team on the other end, having a stop clock system should prevent that - obviously the purists would be dead against any sort of change like this but those stats speak for themselves

Yes the stats paint pictures. Ball rolling time has increased over dedades. Compare ball rolling time now v the eighties/nineties. What the stats tell you is that possession based teams have higher ball rolling times, and those that place greater emphasis on direct football and set plays have lower ball rolling times. Stokes stats were a reflection of their game approach not gamesmanship.

Having a stop the clock system would mean some games would be two hours long. Think about the variables for games, levels (grass roots to pro) and fans. There would also still be gamesmanship. Stopping the clock, still stops a  game and breaks momentum.

40 mins, stop the clock. 

Players would soon stop all this messing about if they realised it made no difference.

What happened after real scored in injury time was beyond a joke. Taking momentum out of a game has always been more or less tolerated, but its gone too far now, games at elite level literally die. 

 

As an aside.... 

Now that's another level

At the beginning...The referee blows his whistle, then he moves the ball with his hands. Should have been handball.

The irony of an Atleti fan complaining about a team shithousing :farmer:

I honestly don't understand why if the ball is not literally in play why the ref doesn't stop their watch?
As soon as the ball becomes 'live' (as soon as it leaves the hand from a throw in or is kicked from a set piece/goal kick etc) the watch starts again.

Am I that nieve to think that this isn't beyond the realms of possibility? 

You'd still get shithousery at the end of the game to break up play, but the amount of time of actual game play would remain the same. True all the games would finish at half 5 though...

i would preferer a shorter match in time  but again it we will loose out due to dodgy officials 

 

The game wouldn't be that much shorter in real terms, if at all. 

NBA basketball games are 48 minutes long but take over 2 hours to play out. 

(and it's LOSE, not loose.)

Shithousery at its best? Love to see a counting down clock on display like Rugby which stops when the ball is out of play. This would also stop time wasting when substitutes are made.
