This is why we need to change the rules .CFC feck up integrity in the game again.the scum started these games up here, speed up for celtic slow down for opposition or throw extra ball on pitch at crucial time.
One of the best EPL moments was the ballboy at Spurs quickly throwing the ball to the Spurs player, end up scoring and Jose giving the ballboy a big hug. Who cares if the home team get an advantage, everyone plays the same amount of times at home.This tries to explain how it will work

Could be like 10 pin bowling where the ball automatically comes back. Lot of f*ckin nonsense.Will there be cones spread around the park with a ball on each one consistently? Could stop clubs using their ball boys to slow the game down.
Think this is how it should be. There are too many teams (us included) who think the ball boys are an extension of the team and give the ball back(or dont) accordingly. Really 1 of my pet hates.Will there be cones spread around the park with a ball on each one consistently? Could stop clubs using their ball boys to slow the game down.
We’ve started to do it too.At nearly every ground we go to in Scotland the ball boys rarely give us the ball and do their own team it slows us down.
Yes we use it against big European teams but we would gain more from this rule than lose.
It's a good thing
The guy that came ups with this idea must be a total Flake!Ridiculous rule!
Throw ins are hard enough without the ball being covered in ice cream!
They've lost the plot!
I'll get ma coat!
This is the only other way of doing it, other than that, I don’t think it a bad idea.just stop the clock when the ball goes out problem solved , player can take as long as they want with no effect to the “time wasting “
Walls BallsClubs will be desperately trying to find an official cone sponsor.

The rule makers getting stuck into the things that matter.Is this a real thing?
Stopping the clock would help. Any team wishing to maintain momentum could still do so, while teams trying to waste time would not gain from being slow at a throw-in.Sod that, its not always about the time, its the momentum, they try to break up the opponents play.
Instead the player must recieve the ball from the top of a cone.
L another fucking nonsense pointless rule being brought into the game.
In the name of friar tuck ! Imagine Sir Stanley Matthews / Bill Shankly or any of our long departed heroes coming back to this shitshow, it’s like a fcuking circus now , between VAR , 4th officials , new handball rules , new phased offside rules and they want cones for n the side of the pitch with balls sitting on them , I’m old school but it’s nothing like real football, and that’s not even mentioning players like Ronaldo earning $213 million dollars last year ! the game is actually laughable now ffs xGood to see them getting to the bottom of the important issues.
If they can get around FFP this’ll be a skoosh

In the EPL they will get booked for that though. They don’t fuk about on time wasting antics like that now.you will just get snide opponents who will past the cone and kick the spare ball away just to slow things down.
they have this rule in Sweden or Denmark.

Unless you have balls that can put themselves on top of cones, I'd say you need ball boys.If the balls are located around the pitch ontop of cones, is there any need for ballboys?
Just another step in making football more robotic. If they really want to cut down on timewasting, start booking and sending off goalkeepers for taking 2 minutes to take a goal kick.Of all the rules that need focusing on, this was not high on my list.
This is the epl that has introduced it, I’m sure this seasons change covers keepers taking too long already.Just another step in making football more robotic. If they really want to cut down on timewasting, start booking and sending off goalkeepers for taking 2 minutes to take a goal kick.
Its to allow multi ball, without the accusations that the ball boys give the ball back to the home team more quickly than they do to the away team.Instead the player must recieve the ball from the top of a cone.

O'Neill tried that one down at Kilmarnock the last day of the season 2003 and was rightly told to bolt by the Killie board.The better way to counteract it would’ve been to invite both teams to have ball boys.
That would be a great solution to a huge problem we have in this league.Will there be cones spread around the park with a ball on each one consistently? Could stop clubs using their ball boys to slow the game down.
They used to sit in their wee stools right next to the corner flag, far too close to corner taker.O'Neill tried that one down at Kilmarnock the last day of the season 2003 and was rightly told to bolt by the Killie board.
This could be a good thing, those mini mutants at Parkhead do a disappearing act when they go a goal up so having cones around the park will take away that particular part of gamesmanship when we visit that midden.
