I suspect this will simply mean that teams will all play a low block by default. Essentially Premier League dross on steroids.

Yes, I was about to say IFAB were generally against it. Glad to see that remains
Iāve copied this here from the Random Football Debate Thread
Interesting thisā¦ A conspectus of time wasting like this from every game, should be put on Gobshite Howard Webbs desk for him to do his sumsā¦
In my opinion, the PGMOL will never improve with him in charge
What in the world has football turned into lately? These stats from Elland Road Tuesday night really highlight how much of the game is being overlookedā¦

Effectively they seem to allocate time for VAR and subs and any injuries then the rest well whatever.

Think it was the Man U - Crystal Palace game earlier in the week? 6 minutes of added time at the end, during which a player was booked for time wasting, yet the ref still blew at 6 minutes instead of adding on some more time. Thatās insult to injury. The ref acknowledged there was time wasting, and then helped by wasting more of it with a booking.

Itās interesting as I have noticed in the Championship they do seem to take subs and stuff like that into account.

Weāll inevitably have our old nemesis as a ref tomorrow Oliver, guaranteed we will get a man sent off, they will get at least one dodgy penalty and he will allow the shitty players to kick us with impunity and vAR will cancel our scored goals for either a forensic offside or a flimsy handball.
