Added Time. A Mistake ?

[lardy]

Stopping the clock would be awful. Just think how players and teams would use it as a tactic to disrupt the flow of a game.

Why not take 2 minutes over a goal kick? Why not walk around with the ball at a throw in, waiting for that perfect moment to throw it in?

People talk as if the game would be just as it was before, but this is so major it would completely change the way the game is played. It would likely become like American football where the game is broken down into individual plays. There would need to be a second clock to count how much time the team is allowed between plays.

Be careful what you wish for. Everyone complained about no consistency with offsides, and then we got var measuring players armpits. It became consistent and we realised that there was still as many infuriating decisions

If you think stopping the clock will eliminate time wasting you're crazy. It will just breed a different type of it.

Still book blatant time-wasting, just stop the clock so they can't cheat a few extra minutes away.

The first time a warning then yellow straight away next time, red the next.
