Stop the Clock! Should the Football League follow suit?

If there is already a thread feel free to merge.

Basically the Premier League next season are set to stop the clock for each stoppage following the system we saw in the WC to get a true amount of stoppage time.

Apologies for the source, if other articles on it etc.

I'd like to see the stopped referees clock linked to the big screens so that everyone can see when the clock is stopped.

Perhaps the ref could use a time out signal as in rugby - and be miked up to the P A  as well to explain his decisions!

There were 11 added minutes on Saturday: 4 first half and 7 second half, so we aren’t far off already!

That 13:56 is on top of the actual injury time, 7:23 on average.  So a 90 min game 111:19 long….21:19 of added time if the clock was stopped in a similar vain to the WC!

If they stop the clock properly, they surely have to go down the 60 minutes ball in play route . 
That would equate to slightly more football actually played, without the game leaking into Sunday Mornings.

The key is not to confuse this being ball in play time, it's for stoppages in play - injuries etc

I guess it comes down to how strict they are and what they are strict about. Stoppages in play , throw ins or like Goalkicks ,where the keeper wanders from side to side, decide he doesn't want to go short and waves the defenders away and bang a minute or two have gone. 
Injuries are supposed to be stopped for anyway aren't they, though Refs seem very free and easy with the time keeping.
They have to do something.
