Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Something should be done about "tactical" injuries.
« on: August 19, 2022, 03:57:47 PM »While I understand that the 2 figures stated seems very little play, most of the deficit from those stats come from throw in, goal kicks etc, stop clock would only be used for the incidents that a ref would add time on, injuries, subs, excessive arguing with the ref etc. Rugby is only a total of 10 mins shorter but is 99.9% done within 2 hours, including HT.You'd never get home for your tea, unless they cut it to 35 in-play minutes per half. Sometime, set your stopwatch and monitor how much time the ball is dead - you'll be amazed (ATS may know the answer.....)Taking the Southend-Borehamwood game from the opening day as an example, I read that the ball was in play for 36 mins.
