Watched a bit of footie yesterday and became quite irritated with the tactics being employed by teams to waste time. In particular Newcastle, once they got the goal almost managed to allow no play for the last 15 mins of the match. The additional substitutions are also being abused to run down the clock and frustrate. Whether its the slowest walk off, ignoring the "leave the pitch at the nearest exit" rule or the buying of soft fouls and taking an eternity to recover it contributing to a poor spectacle for fans.
Came across this article on Sky which confirms that the Toon are as bad as there is but the whole league is offering only about 51 minutes of action in a game. Surely this has to tackled. At least in the World cup they were adding on more time but the most I've seen this weekend was six minutes.
Timewasting
Anyone else getting ****** off with this?
