football rules moodification

[JumpersforGoalposts]

The referees need to manage the situation properly by enforcing the existing rules, i.e. 6 seconds for a 'keeper to have the ball in his hands and cautions for undue delays. The reality is they just don't bother.
IMHO the outcome of putting things "on the clock" will be that there will be MORE time wasting as there will be no management of it whatsoever. This may result in 30 minutes of football taking over an hour - or in the worst case as broadcasters get their agenda into the stoppages in play the nightmare of what happens in NFL where a 60 minute game takes 4 hours to complete.
As an experiment it would be an interesting approach for dealing with the "additional time" at the end of each half.

This is what will happen. Does anyone think canny managers like Mourinho won't do all they can to play the rules to their own advantage? And that won't be for the benefit of the fans hoping for a good game. We'll end up having set pieces for everything, even throw ins.
