With Lutons game against Burnley rearranged, there have been 19 Premier League matches in the opening two gameweeks involving 14 yellow cards for time-wasting, averaging at 0.7 per game; Mikel Arteta says a stopwatch will soon be required
"In the forthcoming campaign, the exact time lost when certain game events occur will now be added: goals and subsequent celebrations, substitutions, injuries and treatment time [if required]," the PGMOL said in a statement.
The multi-ball system, which allows a match to resume with another ball when the original goes out of play and has been shown to increase playing time, will also be adopted. "What I would say of the first yellow is I went to see Howard Webb a couple of weeks ago and we said the existing laws within the game cater to be able to stop time-wasting and that's called a yellow card and would lead to a red card.
Kai Havertz had then initially picked up the ball to take the throw-in before passing it on to the full-back."I said I felt a little bit unfortunate for Tomiyasu because he took one for the team. It was almost Partey then Havertz, it was almost a yellow card for the team's time-wasting, and they had to give it to someone.
While the idea of a stopwatch - seen to a degree in tennis with a countdown clock before the taking of a serve - may seem a little tongue-in-cheek and fanciful, managers and players alike have been left under no illusions that referees are taking the new directive very seriously in a bid to clamp down on the amount of time the ball is out of play.
Ben Osborn - Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United - Throw-in | Minute: 85:19 | Time-wasting: 16 secsBen Osborn could have few complaints, either. During Sheffield United's eventual 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest, Osborn appeared to initially think a ball boy was going to retrieve the ball only to amble towards it himself.
