All you have to do is stop the clock like every other normal sport and it stops cheating instantly.
But but I guess that's for FIFA not the prem.
Saying that they put a stop to it somewhat at the last world cup by having actual stoppage time

I don't thnk it will ever happen in the PL sadly. They like this shit, the theatre, the narratives too much.

Would much rather see games decided by actual sporting prowess, skills, strength etc. Not rolling on the floor like your leg got shot off to waste the time because you are too much of a coward to play the fucking game

The time wasting is awful.
I can't stomach this bullshit any more. Don't these cunts feel ashamed for playacting and rolling around? The game is practically dead.
When I played football, got kicked or elbowed we never show your hurt. Don't want the cunt to feel satisfied, and you'll just crunch him later.

I just can't stomach this playacting, it's no longer sport, it's WWE. Must have been 6 or 7 gone down in that second half. Like saving Private Ryan ffs. Keeper wasted at least 3 minutes, then you got subs on top.
7 minutes is a joke, insult, then the cunts waste more time in added time. The time is bad enough but it's the disruption to the flow of the game that hurts. Can't get anything going.
I hate it. If I was at the stadium I'd be going absolutely crazy and encouraging everyone.

Dippers don't play that shit. They go mad if Oppo gets a throw in... We need to do similar and turn the huge stadium to our fucking advantage.

It's fairly simple to resolve. The ref indicates to the 4th official every time a team is time-wasting. The 4th official adds time into their 'pot'. When we've played 90 mins plus the non-time-wasting time added on, the match ends unless either manager indicates that he wants to use his pot, at which point it is DOUBLED. He can then halt it at any point (for example if his team scores a winning goal). The game ends when both managers use up their pot (or decide not to).

It may sound complicated, but it doesn't have to be - the 4th offical just needs two time boards to hold up after he's held up the normal time added board, one for each team. He just then needs to communicate with the ref if a manager wants to use his pot (which will be obvious in most cases - if you're losing, you'll use it. It's only if the team's are drawing that it might be arguable).

It would soon become meaningless anyway - no manager is going to tell their players to waste time if they know the opposition have the CHOICE to add UP TO DOUBLE that amount of time at the end, and can STOP it whenever they want during that time.

Also, imagine how exciting a winning goal in that time would be! In most cases it would literally be the last kick of the game!
 
Never seen any manager take their only striker off after 54 mins after going two one down. He may not have been match fit, but surely he had 70 mins in him, even Richy looked surprised.
Porro was awful again, might have crossed for our goal, but that apart he was dreadful.
Dragusin is the Romanian Dier, except Dier was decent at that age. Sarr awful as well, can't even pass the ball.
Gray and Bergvail the pick of the bunch again.
He has got to go, should have been gone months ago, but now we are in serious danger after being beat by one of the worst teams in the league.
 
Injuries , no excuse , you just cannot justify that performance no matter what . Absolutely clueless tactics .

Where the hell do we go from here , no matter who the manager is , with Levy up top, the football club just isn't prioritised and it certainly shows
