       This makes sense from a medical point of view (delayed
       concussion for example) and does away the tactical "head injury"
       simultaneously.  Of course the primary problem with these
       "injuries" is not the blight on the game but that players with
       genuine injuries are potentially ignored because of the
       wolf-crying that has gone on before.  This sounds like a
       tremendous idea.  I see no downside.

       The downside is in the instances where the player has a genuine
       head injury (caused by an opposing player) which needs to
       treated (but not concussion related) where the player will then
       be off the pitch for 5 minutes whilst the other team have a 1
       man advantage.
       It was interesting in the Carabao Cup final that early on a
       Newcastle defender had a clash of heads and despite having on
       field treatment he then seemed to be in a daze after play
       recommenced.

       I can't really speak for the PL although I am sure Collina has a
       valid point in wanting to see an appropriate amount of added
       time where goal difference could make a difference at season
       end, including Liverpool v Man Utd. However my experiences at
       Crewe Alex this season suggest that referees are allowing
       sufficient added time and the clock has often been showing 5pm
       or even later by the time we have been released from further
       misery. And the Alex have been masters of conceding late and
       crucial goals this season, the exception being last night (which
       I didn't alas attend) when they won the game 4-3 in added time!

       Am I alone in wanting to go the other way and stop all the time
       wasting so that fans are respected and can catch their bus or
       train ?. Would like :
       Injured players are treated off the pitch unless the physio says
       it is unsafe to move him, in which case he must be substituted.
       No messing around with towels or shirts to dry the ball and no
       player wearing gloves can take a throw in. Mobbing the referee
       is an automatic action for all involved. Not immediately
       retreating 9 metres or kicking the ball away to gain time to get
       back in position treated similarly.
       Impose the six second rule on goalkeepers unless an opponent has
       deliberately interfered with his ability to comply and eliminate
       team meetings during the match.
       And then I woke up…

       Oppositiom player standing in front of the ball when trying to
       take a fk is another one that annoys me, book then for delaying
       restart and that will stop quickly

       The 'more realistic' additional time in the 2022 World Cup was a
       breath of fresh air and with Howard Webb's new broom, I thought
       this would be incorporated into the PL post World Cup. However,
       we're still in a situation where inadequate additional time is
       added, especially where there are stoppages right before the 90
       minutes, or during added time. Even the 8 minutes at Brentford v
       Fulham on Monday was insufficient, especially as there were
       injury delays and a goal during the added time but less than
       further minute was added.
       I get the point about 'sympathy injury time' where the score
       differential is large, but on the other hand goals
       scored/difference can be vital and IMHO, added time should be
       universally applied in all cases

       Collina did say about games 'where the score dosent affect
       others' ie knock out games, not league matches

       At least we shouldn't be getting so much time wasting with
       chit-chat on MOTD tonight! And as for ITV with their FL
       Highlights programme, one of these days I'm going to put a clock
       on how much FL football we actually see in two hours. I'll get
       my coat!

       For all there was a lot of added time in the first two group
       rounds of the World Cup, it mysteriously disappeared, or at
       least massively lessened, and it was reported that this was
       following discussions with broadcasters.  And there in lies the
       problem, partly broadcasters and their schedules, but I suspect
       the majority of supporters don't want to see boards with 15
       minutes going up and would eventually start to complain.

       Woeful timekeeping from Michael Salisbury in the Championship
       game between Reading and Millwall today.
       Four stoppages for Millwall head injuries whether real or
       imaginary, a couple of other injuries, five substitutions
       (admittedly in three ‘windows’) plus some time wasting yet only
       three minutes added.
       We had guessed at least five minutes. I doubt either team would
       have scored if the correct stoppage time had been played but we
       should have had the chance to find out.
