Holland are poor so far.

This playing out from the back nonsense is shite for them so far

70 minutes gone

It's a fair point and I genuinely have no idea how it's supposed to work.. I would see a celebration and all the associated performance after a goal very different as say the time it takes a player to go over and take a throw in or a corner, but I suspect by the rules you are probably right.

Regardless, with how technology is these days there's really no reason time added on needs to be so imprecise and judgement based. Even if we say a running clock is heretical and too much of a break with tradition, it would be quite simple to add x for every y taken over a dead ball situation, injury, substitution etc... and then round it to the nearest minute. I suspect you'd quite quickly see an end to the worst of the time wasting and the tracking technology is there to easily do it, at least at the higher levels of the game.

I’ve always thought taking the time keeping away from the ref is the best solution. He has enough to concentrate on as it is.
Clock should be stopped everytime there’s a substitution, injury and a goal celebration, then restarted when play resumes.
Take a leaf out of Rugby league and sound a hooter on the 90th minute.

So unfair how the goalkeeper has to stay on his line, whilst the penalty taker can stutter his run up as much as he wants.

I agree. For each hesitation by the taker the keeper should be able to take a stride

This. I can’t stand the stop starting thing, I thought you weren’t allowed to stop at all once you start a run up. I’d change the rule to once you start you can’t stop, stutter or any of that nonsense.

You should tell us again one more time that it's not been a good tournament.

Another tournament where England have the easy route - if they top the group they now can’t play Spain, Germany, France or Portugal until the final

Personally don't think the players even have the crutch of it being Southgate's fault if they don't make the final should they win the group. Those players have 0 excuse on that side of the draw.
