Forget about instant replay. It’s obvious we need that. My question is, why can’t the refs just keep an accurate track of time lost due to “injuries” and other stoppage of play, and properly extend the match, instead of this b.s. arbitrary “+3 minutes” crap. Yes, it will extend games, but I think that would have a backlash of fewer players diving and rolling around on the field unnecessarily. And it will still move along faster than other American sports without all the timeouts and tv breaks and whatnot.
Or just implement some policy like “each team only get 5 minutes of total injury time, after that we start awarding yellow cards.”
