Stuy_O Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 He'll be wanting the penalty spot closer next time they miss one. Ferguson is just bitter, finding any excuse to deviate from why they actually lost. The game is fine as it is, barring one or two niggling issues.

Mike Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 American can GTFO, first we let you out of the kindness of our hearts be a independent country and now your trying to insist your rules on us. No respect among you lot Not one American did anything here as far as I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Think its a good idea tbh, not necessarily the 30 min half but certainly the stopping clock when ball not in play. Its rich coming from Ferguson about time though, how many injury time winners because of 6 mins fergie time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 i think Fergie has a valid point tbf. Everybody goes to OT and fucks about wasting as much time as possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let logic get in the way of a good rant mate fwiw, a little structure wouldn't be a bad thing. Injury time is really arbitrary. I don't know about this plan, but an official time keeper wouldn't be a tragedy. Someone removed from the action. Then after 90, you add on say...5 minutes. The clock goes from 90:00 to 4:59...etc. 0 is 0. No matter where the ball is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 i think Fergie has a valid point tbf. Everybody goes to OT and fucks about wasting as much time as possible and I might take the point seriously if he came out with it at another time than just after whenever they lose. Until he does I'm going to ignore it as the self serving defence mechanism shite it is rather than actual concern over the way the game currently is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 NBA style finishes to a game are a good counterargument. As are crowd countdowns Americanisation basically could be done on the qiet. just a tiem keeper, radio controlled to ref... tells him when its ft. 'Hoy ref times up blow the whistle after this attack- or if man u are losing the next couple of attacks' If old man 40 can accept such a change, then all you kids should be able to embrace it. Fear of change for traditions sake holds the game back. And tbh, sticking to out-dated laws on the basis of tradition alone is about as American as you can get.

Stuy_O Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I can't actually think of anyone else barring Ferguson who moans on about it though. Is added time really that much of an issue to enforce a rule change? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the clock. 4th official stops it when the ball goes out. When it hits 30, ref blows whistle. Done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 So then eliminate extra time. Stop the clock when the ball is dead/out of bounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Also the scenario would crop up where the stoppages we're generally low and you wind up with a 35 or 36 minute half. To short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone watching on telly could call a cunt in the crowd and get the shitty countdown going. I'm only messing, but yeah, it's a pipedream hypothetical. Were it ever implemented on footballing grounds, the concern for NBA-style endings to games/shitty countdown chants would be negligible, so the 30-minute countdown would be fully transparent to all.
