Pierluigi Collina

My guess is the players will still gather together on the pitch and one of the coaches will bring water out to them, along with instructions from the manager.

 

It has to start somewhere

Saw in an international this week that a sub was refused entry for 1 minute as the player leaving the field took too long.


There’s also the throw in piss take where it goes through three pairs of Arsenal hands before somebody takes the throw.

Need to enforce it rigorously though
Too often it starts and then when managers complain it’s just ignored again.

 

All a step in the right in the right direction but we need to be careful what we wish for. We are painfully slow on throw-ins and as for Sam Walker........

 

The subs one should work well as players are forced to go off within 10 seconds once the board has been shown and the 1 minute is only a minimum as the player can't come back on until the ball goes out of play.
It will end the weird run that you only see when a player is being subbed off which is slower than a walk. I don't think managers will want players to be taking risks so I'd expect to see managers telling their players to hurry up.

 

I think the keeper rule has worked quite well this season.
It’s certainly stopped the ridiculous Pickord-esque antics of throwing yourself to the floor and taking 30/40 seconds to get up and then get rid.

I still think it could be enforced a bit more but it’s definitely an improvement.
