Would stopping the clock really make the overall runtime shorter? Football’s nice because it’s just 90 minutes, give or take. If you hit pause for every stoppage it feels like the whole thing can spiral out of control.

That depends on what you set the pure playing time at op. Most people agree that if you set it at 30 to 35 minutes you'll end up with roughly 90 minutes per game, only there will be more actual football being played during those 90 minutes.

Yeah this is a real problem to consider. In basketball they found recently that in close games the last two minutes of game time can take about half an hour to play because teams are constantly fouling each other and calling timeouts, which keeps stopping the clock after like 0.5 seconds of game time have elapsed.

imo football should stay as-is for the game clock but refs should strictly enforce rules around timewasting. Yellow cards for everybody and don't be shy about sending players off for timewasting when they've already got a yellow.

This is not an issue in football because there are no timeouts op.

Nothing would change about this op, except that the breaks in play would become SHORTER since time wasting will come totally useless, i.e. no more fake injuries, keepers keeping the ball as long as possible, etc. The game would become much faster.

FIFA could do this now as well? 🤷 This is not the argument at all though, and has nothing to do with the idea of pure playing time as such.

Lol the A League implemented drinks breaks solely to add in commercials and that was without a stopped clock, you’re dreaming if you think an actual clock stoppage won’t be monetized

There are still fouls, penalties, corners, offside calls, VAR, etc., and lol if you think they wouldn't take the chance to introduce timeouts at some point in the future as soon as it wouldn't affect the game clock.

Also for all that we're all concerned about timewasting, one side having incentive to timewaste means the other side doesn't and gets on with it quickly. For example, if the clock is paused for every throw-in, then the team chasing a game in the 89th minute won't be taking throw-ins after half a second to get on with the game, they'll be waiting to get every player in the right position before chucking the thing. Stopping the game clock makes sense to solve some current problems with the flow of the game, but is likely to also introduce entirely new problems.

Stopping the clock any time the ball is not in play, i.e anytime the ref blows his whistle. You'd have to decide how long a half should be though, most experts say 30-35 minutes would work. So you'd have 30 minutes pure playing time.

Honestly I really don't understand how this has not been implemented yet, because it would instantly take care of time wasting and make the game so much better. It happens in many other sports now too.

I see thanks

I forget which idiot American sport has the literal “tv time out” stoppage, but that’s exactly where clock stoppages will end up. I mean it’s worth a trial but there is no way a league doesn’t take money from some company to shove ads in, and sneakily implement a “minimum stoppage” so that they can sell quantized air time during matches.

Miraculously I have seen less of this on American coverage, but in Italy certain broadcasters put in 5 second commercials when the ball gets kicked in to the stands or a player is taking his time getting to a throw in. There are usually at least a few of these per match and while its really short it’s very annoying. The water breaks in the hotter months (pronounced “cooleen brehk” of course) are already being filled in with longer versions of these.

I think the Pure Play idea in a world where we weren’t bombarded with advertising would be great, but we all know how the leagues and tv companies operate.

It would be interesting to see how going to the match would be changed. Like does the team play some poo poo over the stadium announcement system or what?

Hockey (or ice hockey as idiots call it) has tv timeouts but they happen only on a regular stoppage in play. As many stoppages can happen as normal until x minutes are played then the next stoppage is a tv timeout

This is how college football and basketball also work (obviously if your game is not on TV then you dont have to deal with this if you're there; if you are in person for a televised game it's real annoying)

The NBA has a rule where if too many minutes pass in a quarter without either team calling a timeout then the refs call a timeout to show commercials.

When they’re at it maybe they can stop teams stealing three or four meters every throw-in.

What's funny to me about these Dutch FA ideas is that some of them were literally ideas invented during the old cocaine & disco NASL 1.0 of the 1970s, so I guess what's viewed as old and tacky can indeed become new again.

Next we'll hear that they're trialing a 35-meter offside line.

One of the reasons I like football so much compared to other sports is it feels less, I dunno, mechanical if that makes sense? Having 'pure playing' time is just one more step to trying to control absolutely every tiny detail of the game to millimetre precision.

I wouldn't mind splitting the difference and having the "pure playing time" clock during stoppage time in each half to cut down on time wasting during what can be the most important times of a game, but stopping the clock for a few seconds for throw-ins is a bit meh.

It would be like stopping the clock after every score in basketball until the other team inbounds the ball, which is generally not a thing that happens.

It makes sense to me, yeah. One of the things I've noticed is that, for example, on throwins or free kicks the ball will move farther away from the spot it went out of bounds or where the foul happened than would ever be allowed in American sports and as long as it's not too wild everyone's like yeah that's fine get on with it
