Rugby doesn't stop the clock when the ball goes out of play, the Referee calls out to stop the clock and restart.  The same could apply.  A ref is the arbiter of whether time needs to stop (subs being obvious, but also if he feels a set piece has taken too long).  They call for a restart, you run the risk of being yellow carded if you do not immediately restart (refs would ensure we are set to go before asking for time back on).

Not sure if a lot of the crowd were aware of the new 30 second rule on Saturday judging by the baying going on when Wakeling left the pitch having received treatment.

Still, only one pitch entry by the physio on Saturday and good to see that the Crewe players managed to get through unscathed this time.

Those who would like a stop clock timing system to be introduced, would that be with a view to ensuring 90 mins of ball in play or would there have to be a compromise at say 60 minutes?

I noticed this when Wakeling was not being let on the pitch. A lot of people around me were shouting at the referee/lino and weren't aware of the new rule when I smugly informed everyone they had to wait 30 seconds before being waved on.

I didn't feel so smug when I found out i'd been calling Mceachran Kinsella for most of the game, like a wedge of stilton.

I have visions of you stood there, all smug with everyone bowing to your higher knowledge...only for you to go '...oh yeah and that Kinsella lad has settled right in'. Smugness obliterated as some little oik goes '...that's not Kinsella you daft cunt, it's McEach tsk.'  Soapy Tit Wank

But football won't really change in that regard. Taken them an age to introduce technology and even then the cunts have to moan about it. Funny though, because you don't really see other sports complaining EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND about the technology used.

Hardly surprised people moan, when Bronze gets a booking and gives away a pen, after being pushed and moving her arm away from the ball.  All of which, btw, the ref didn't think was a pen or a booking at the time.

Then we see VAR not overturning the dodgy penalty Japan got.

And sometimes wait minutes for a decision, and once it's given it's not always right. 

I'm very glad we don't suffer that shite in L2.  Football is not better with VAR at all.

Ha - To be fair it was maybe a couple of times where I'd clapped and said something like 'good tracking back Kinsella' or other such football cliched nonsense. The people around me were either too polite to correct me or didn't hear Smiley

I keep on saying this though Donkey...it's not the actual VAR tech [or other tech] that is the problem though - it's the fucking idiots using and applying it. They're applying it almost literally in a way that is akin to a Neurodivergent person with extreme hyperfocus. Eg..handball - any way the ball touches the hand regardless of any context.

Where as we actually see conext being used quite well. For example in the cricket. And rugger copes fairly well and that a faster sport than footy. I just don't know why footy has to feel so precious about using technology [and applying it properly]. It's like they aren't applying it properly so folk will go ''ahh fuck this, it's a pile of wank...footy don't need tech''  and it doesn't take many tanked up blokes and a 'wrong' decision to make them decide...I mean, they are going to find adapting to many things difficult anyway

Someone smarter than me - what are the odds of guessing a number between 1-45 correctly three times?

Fair enough. It’s not for me, but don’t begrudge the club for trying. Can’t imagine it will transform the budget but it’s a nice little extra

VAR just proves that the people in charge don't actually know what they're watching. Its embarrassing compared to other sports. Whereas sports like Rugby and Cricket just shows a lot of on field mistakes were not seeing it and get to the right conclusion with the video ref.

To be fair the club have been honest about needing to generate new revenue streams.

I’m not a fan of this one and think it gives off the wrong image but I’m probably not the target audience of this one and if it helps the club bring in some cash then every little helps.

I don't think I even know what the var/offside rule is these days tbh.

Is it any worse than the OSC 50/50 draw?
(Hopefully that's not affected.)

I notice it’s to pay for the playing budgets of both the men’s and women’s teams. This will probably come across as sexist but I do hope we aren’t diverting funds that could be spent on the men’s team to help develop the women’s team. The reality is most are only interested in the 1st team and you can’t just force people to support the women’s team because it now operates under the same banner, the reality is most aren’t interested currently. For now I’d rather both have entirely separate funding streams so that there isn’t any perception that we are using funds that could be used to improve the men’s team to prop up the women’s team or vice versa.
