A lot has been said recently about bringing football rules into the 21st.century.A start was made with the introduction of goal-line technology.However,in my eyes lots more needs to be done.
The main proposal is to reduce the game to two halves of 30 minutes each,with an independent time-keeper stopping time when ball is dead and starting time when play resumes.Many supporters don't like this idea at all,but having put my stop watch on several city games in the second halves the only thing supporters will notice is they will get more football not less.
I timed the second half of the Qpr game.The referee added on five minutes so it lasted 50 minutes.But when he blew for time my watch said 20 mins 45 secs. of actual playing time.In fact no second half I timed lasted 25 mins. So all these years we have been short changed.
