Rule changes in football

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Time wasting has nothing to do with time. The purpose is to the break your opponents concentration, rhythm of play and generally mess them about.

A lot of fans claim to have that view though right.

Aesthetics over effectiveness isn’t a niche opinion.

Also, did they forget the first 150 odd years of English football before the PL came along, that’s just what it was like back then.

I started going to games in the 80’s, it’s was universally a series of goal kicks and corners. The ball spent 99% of the game 30 feet over the players heads.

The surface had a bit of an influence then.

Good point, but far from the ploughed fields the game was played on in the 70’s.

It's about both time and the reasons you give.

It must have been studied that the amount of time you waste, is always more than the ref will add on at the end.

Think the ball is on average 54 mins. Time wasting has a lot to do with time. The opposition can't score if the ball isn't on the pitch.
