IFAB to propose scrapping two 45-minute halves for two 30-minute halves with stoppages

A proposal to scrap 45-minute halves is to be looked at by football's lawmakers to deter time-wasting.
Instead, there could be two periods of 30 minutes with the clock stopped whenever the ball goes out of play.
Lawmaking body the International Football Association Board (Ifab) says matches only see about 60 minutes of "effective playing time" out of 90.
The idea is one of several put forward in a new strategy document designed to address football's "negativities".

No, frick that.

Nah, son.

This would negate the effects of time-wasting wouldn't it?
I don't see why we should be happy with 60 minutes of effective playing time when we could have 90 minutes of playing time.

How about, you know, just getting tougher on time wasting. Toss out a yellow if someone doesn't make an effort to get the ball. Count out loud every time a keeper gets a ball. 10 seconds should become a strict measurement for keepers.
Saw an MLS game last year where every time there was a goal kick, he would walk to his water bottle, take a slow drink, walk over to the ball that the ballboy rolled, then set it up, then walk backwards slowly, then kick it. Fans counted to 45 seconds the third time.
Absolutely infuriating, and the ref did nothing the first 5 times. He finally gave a card on the sixth kick. Guess what? The goalie did exactly what he wanted to do and the game was over soon after. Complete lack of control on the ref's part.

Diving is more of a problem than time-wasting.

This is worse than when someone who does not watch soccer suggests to make the goals bigger or to eliminate offside (which they call offsides).

Nope. Not in this fashion anyway. Sure it kills time-wasting but it also kills the last chance for a desperate team.

One of the biggest draws when I started watching soccer was no commercials, and I knew that a normal game was going to be no more than 115 minutes (<2 hours). Why would they ruin that?

AND the subsequent calling on the health staff, stretcher, magical spray...I'll be so pissed if this passes...leave it alone and enforce stricter enforcement for the love of Gawd!!

This concept is interesting, if not flawed. In the book The Numbers Game, the author talks about how Tony Pulis' Stoke teams would intentionally shorten the actual "play time" with certain tactics like making the dimensions of the field smaller; Rory Delap's absurdly long winded throw-in routines; taking their sweet-arse time on free kicks, and of course trying to murder players. It worked too. Stoke's tactics led to games where the ball was in play less than 45 minutes.
I've seen it proposed before, but the general audience of any game should see the amount of stoppage time accrued throughout the game. That way, there isn't an arbitrary determination of stoppage time by the ref.

I would be interested in seeing this, actually, just to see how different the game would be.

The argument is there is less than 60 minutes of actual playing time now.
It needs to be tested. But this is how our hs games were. Clock stops, no extra time.

i have no fricking clue how this isn't a rule already

Would be interesting to see it experimented with in meaningless games.

Holding it in the corner when you have a lead late is fine, referees just need to grow a pair and start carding players wasting time and being more vocal about getting the ball back in play.
IF they really want a new rule, how about: if players need a stretcher in the last 10 mins, they can't reenter. If they are really hurt, they won't re enter anyway, and if they're just being typical Mexicans/Italians/Argentinians/etc...then they'll eventually stop the BS

Sounds like job for the MLS All-Star Game!

I would like to see this study that produced the 60 minutes figure.
No team implements time-wasting tactics in the first half and then in the second half the team that is ahead doesn't really start to be not-so-subtle about it until the 70th-75th minute.

Ive played soccer since i was 5 and have watched every USMNT game for the last decade and I say offsides every time. It sounds nice.
