And an automatic yellow card whenever there is a foul immediately after the referee gives the advantage.

Itâs called a watch. Been around for over a century, used by referees in most other sports with a clock.

Ppl see a football match knowing theres 45 minutes per half and then some 6-7 min (at an average max added time per game)
Teams (including us) generally take 6 to 7 minutes each per match off of the clock. Then there are the likes of atletico who take 20 minutes off the clock.
So theres atleast 15 minutes being wasted (by both the teams) and only 6 to 7 minutes added at the end. This shouldnt have any place in the game. A similar thing is teams not bowling 90 overs in a day in test cricket. Its something that can be easily done but teams regularly fall short of it.
I am not a lip reading expert but I agree with Hendo here

Yep, I thought that as well. 
Trent was obviously enjoying the moment.
I have no idea what exactly happened tbh, I was hoping someone here knows it?!!

Yep but why??? I completely missed that yesterday.
Think Foyth was having a niggle at Diaz throughout the game.

BBC5 Live mentioned that Luis Diaz had to be separated from Foyth after saying something at the end of the match.
Time for Diaz to put villareal to the sword. After we see off sandcastle first.

You are really clutching at straws here, 1 incident I saw where he went down after being hit in the head when it was clear nothing happened. The Torres one was a free kick smashed straight into the side of his head, maybe youâve never played sports but I can assure you if you donât head the ball properly it hurts.
1 tackle? Like we didnât do any of our own. The way itâs described is they went out with the intent to injure our players which is total rubbish, every tackle was a contest, thatâs literally the game. They did some time wasting, thatâs about the extent of it.
Your point might hold more credance if it was about Everton specifically, trying to use the few examples from last night is really reaching.
After reading all the stuff about dementia (I think this is one of the worst long term affects) of football, rugby players etc. from continual knocks on their head and improper concussion protocols being followed, Iâd much rather we aired on the side of caution, and if this means our games get stopped a few times and some teams use it to their advantage so be it.

Fine, then if itâs a head-related issue you should have to come off the pitch to be checked out. And let back in once the check is done and there is a break in play.
Yes you absolutely can be concussed from having a ball smashed in your face (Iâve had me ear ringing from balls whacked at my head).
If coming off is mandatory thatâll stop the faking of such injuries.

I was thinking could you set up a rule that if a player stops the game for a none obvious head injury they have to be checked for concussion off the field and the game proceeds.
I wasnât too bothered with the ones yesterday but Richardson on Sunday was a joke.

Sorry, can you show me where I said itâs okay to be constantly moaning about players during the match even when we are winning?
Thought the match officials were horrible.
Are you suggesting that instead of the referee keeping time on the field, we actual hire someone else to just stop the clock every time there is an injury or time wasting antic so the referee can focus on fouls and the flow of the game???
Crazy talk!!
orâŚhe could carry one and stop it himself. I know, crazy.
