Classic that palace 5-0 away,think Evans got the other 2 goals.im sure we had a shot that hit one post rolled along the goal line and hit the other post and out.

Nice easy 'NO' here too

It's a no from me.

No, for the same reasons Trigger mentioned in his moral. I won't be offering to post flyers this time either.

Just so, so easy to say "NO".

A4e-me too, also only 3 mins at Barnsley where we were on the ropes

Totally agree OI, and a very quick no from me on the bond email.

Tom - to be fair, I was ecstatic when the 4th showed just 3 minutes added at the end of Saturday’s game 🤪 I’m pretty sure the ref decided to exclude the “time out” taken by cheating Alexander and their keeper from his calculations… 😂

Refs already have the discretion to add time to compensate for time-wasting.

Yes, an immediate NO from me too but I take on very few commitments that last as much as 5 years now, so even good communications and a couple of resignations wouldn't alter the dial.

I certainly don't want to spending 2hours plus watching a game. If I did I'd watch American "football". Time taken to set up a free kick, take a throw in etc are all part and parcel of the game.

6 million-Fish was certainly pushed out by the arrival of Fash, highlights were his hattrick at Palace in the 5-0(41 years ago tomorrow)and the winner against Forest a couple of weeks earlier

Trigg - exactly, easiest NO ever 😂 and Tomato, I know that, but I think we’ve all had enough of the excessive amount of time wasting in the game these days… Leaviing things just as they are shouldn’t bean acceptable answer IMO…

There is nothing in the laws of the game that states there has to be 90 minutes actual play.

I think that would lead to carnage in football matches Leddy.

Leddy- ht/ft whistle going when the ball is out of play is a simple rule that I’m astonished hasn’t been introduced in football.

In one of the Olympic ice hockey semi-finals there was a stoppage right at the end. They restarted the game with 1.3 seconds left on the clock.

Just received an invite to complete a survey about whether I would be interested in taking out another bond. There is a lot to read just to answer yes or no to the solitary question this survey asks at the end.

Paul Fishenden was the guest of honour at the game on Saturday and articles refer to him as being one of a handful of players to have played in all four divisions for WFC. He may have still been on our books when we got to the first division but I have no recollection of him playing. He was behind Stewart Evans and Corkie in the pecking order when we were in the second division and the arrival of Fashanu in 1986 would have put paid to any hope he had of getting a game.

Bob - indeed, and perhaps they could try something like rugby where the clock stops whenever the ball is out of play or at dead ball situations…. A match might end up taking 120-150 minutes rather than 90, but the game is meant to last 90 minutes, so why do people only get to see about 55-65 minutes of active play in most games (I’m guessing a bit, but I’m sure someone has done a study somewhere…)?

I’d really like to see an end to this thing where a goalkeeper sits down and gets “treatment” for a non existent injury just so that the outfield players can get a team talk from their management - easily solved, either ban players from going to their management when a keeper is being treated (under threat of immediate yellow card if you do so….) or nominate an outfield player from the same side as the keeper to leave the field of play for 30-60 seconds…. That’ll learn ‘em 🤪😬

If they genuinely want to save time they should consider limiting the time taken to throw the ball back into play and the quite incredible amount of time wasted while the ref sorts out the wall - and other issues - before a free kick is taken within shooting distance.

OI - that’s harsh when the player going off is usually one that’s been hurt by a bad tackle from an opposing player. I don’t think punishing the victim is fair - maybe the player committing the foul should be told to leave the field as well, and they can both come back on when the 4th official (who has little else to do) deems it to be the right time…. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Picture in today's times from Chelsea v Man U Women's FA Cup match at KM. The stand in the picture is empty. If they can't fill the stadium for that game how can they justify moving to a bigger ground?

One minute on sidelines after injury treatment happening apparently. [Link]
