It's pathetic that these clear improvements take so long to filter through....... Same as the time-keeping protocols they employed.... A couple of seasons of that and the players will soon start to learn that time-wasting is pointless and we've largely eradicated an ill from the game.

Ditto the holding in the box, blocking FKs and so many other rules that if actually upheld would serve as a deterrent in the longer term.

Think the one thing I would take from American sports is the time keeping and the clock rundown and stopped when the ball is dead as it always seems they make up a number to add on.

They could solve time keeping us overnight by just having a ball in play clock, play 60 min ball in play and the whistle blows on 60.

That WC offside tech will solve offside.

I get the distinct impression that English Refs are doing everything they can to undermine VAR and keep themselves as relevant as possible.

Seeing as it's a 90m game then do the above but with 90 mins on the clock........ Why have the fans bear the brunt of the time-wasting phenomena reaching tipping point?

Manage the time properly and the players will soon stop dicking about.

You'd hope so.

I wouldn't put it past them. Be it on the pitch, as pundits or the PGMOL it's a proper little self-preserving cabal.
