In the sphell, not a chance unless to the benefit of the filth if they’re drawing or losing a gameIt’s refreshing to see real additional time added and not just a fictional few minutes.
Apparently it’s a directive from Colina.
What’s the chances of it continuing in domestic football?
Beat me too to it.To be fair we do see it in Scotland, usually in games involving the filth where they need a goal.
Agreed, great way to try and eradicate time wasting, which is genuinely one of the most frustrating and unfair practices in football.Been crying out for genuine added on time for decades now. It'd be an absolute gutter for clubs out with the old firm as time wasting is the most opted for tactic. Add on the actual time the ball has been out of play and for when the opposition deliberately dally then you'll see time wasting as a tactic disappear.
It’s not ridiculous. It’s 90 minutes of football. If anything what we might see is players realise time wasting is now pointless, therefore reducing added on timeI think it will change after this first round of games, with refs being instructed to find a middle ground. Some of it has been ridiculous. Can you imagine the third game in groups that are tight, end uo with 20 mins extra time.
Commentators said this also, yet a defender was on the pitch Kim for minutes getting treatment. Commentators tend to talk garbage even tho they are supposed to be watching the events Infront of them.There were 7 minutes added on Uru v SK, no idea why.

We already do when the filth need a goalIt 100% should be introduced and I could see the likes of the EPL looking to bring it in but not a chance we see it in Scotland anytime soon
Official ball in play clock is the only way to totally end time wasting.I'm in favour of 2 x 30 min halves, with the clock only counting down while the ball is in play. We'd get more football than we see now, and it's immediately clear to everyone how long is left to go.
Agree. It must be hard to manage the game when you have no idea how much time will be added on.I hope so. Timewasting has been getting worse and worse domestically. Teams come to Ibrox and start the timewasting from the moment the game kicks off. You used to only see it with 10/15mins left.
Personally i would prefer to see the clock stopped until a ball is live at all times, so you get a true 90 mins. But id take what im seeing at Qatar all day over the current set up.
Exactly.We already do when the filth need a goal
Are the players down with cramp the ones in the lead I wonder? The players will be absolutely fine, don’t worry about them playing a wee bit longer, and tough titty short turnarounds, that’s what these tournaments are about. I’m also sure the advertisers will find a way to accommodate. Can’t it be both bookings and accurate added on time that reduces time wasting.Players going down with cramp already at 80 mins, it's not good for players in a tournament with tight turnarounds to be playing an extra 10-15 mins at game pace. Not that FIFA will give a shit about welfare, but it will be causing headaches for advertisers across all the TV networks, which will have a knock on effect on revenue eventually. Its too much. I'm all for reducing time wasting, but its part of the tactical side of the game. More and earlier bookings would reduce it more effectively than just playing an extra 10 mins every game.
And Rangers vs Livingston, that Shamal George is a stick on for a booking every time they play usRangers v Motherwell would last about 3 days
I'm also in favour of this.I'm in favour of 2 x 30 min halves, with the clock only counting down while the ball is in play. We'd get more football than we see now, and it's immediately clear to everyone how long is left to go.
We'd still be playing Mondays the way some of this SPFL shower of sh*te approach games.It’s refreshing to see real additional time added and not just a fictional few minutes.

Added time has been used to help certain teams and will remain that way. By order of celtic fcIt’s refreshing to see real additional time added and not just a fictional few minutes.

Beat me to it too. They get fair stoppage time. We don't and haven't. They have capitalised on that big time over the years.Beat me too to it.
Surely if they do implement it, a discussion with stena (or whoever runs it now) could allow for 15 mins extra on that one sailing?If it happens it’s going to be the late boat home for the Ulstermen as we just about make it as it is every week.
I guess that’s the purpose. Make timewasting pointless and in time, have a normal flowing game of footballSome of the time wasting that goes on at Ibrox will see us leaving the stadium at 5.30
I hope its introducedI guess that’s the purpose. Make timewasting pointless and in time, have a normal flowing game of football
Exactly.I hope its introduced
also refs have to be onto the time wasting from minute one of every game especially goalkeepers, no point booking a goalie for time wasting in the 85th minute, book him after 5 minutes and it will stop immediately
Livingston only a few weeks agoExactly.
Although, I can’t remember what game it was but when the keeper got booked for wasting time at goal kicks he feigned injury and got a defender to do it.
Time wasting is bollox. Even when we do it
False. They were awarded 4 minutes. But scored in the 8th minute of added time. Even worse.I'm sure the peasants were awarded 9 minutes up at Ross County, from which they scored a late winner.? Paraphrasing County Manager Malky MacKay at the time. " We were playing until Celtc scored. "
