Get rid of drinks breaks as well. 

I read this was confirmed a few days ago. It was always a ridiculous idea to automatically have a break when some games played in autumn like conditions.

I'd be curious how they'd also feel spending most (if not all) season not getting off the bench. That's got to be kind of demoralizing, right? Maybe not. 

What’s better sitting in the stands all season watching or being in the changing room and seeing/feeling how top players prepare and act at Premier League level?Then as they feel more comfortable in that environment they progress and develop quicker than if they’ve never experienced it before.

I would stop any tactical substitutions being made after 90 mins is up. 

 

It's so feckin annoying, disrupts any momentum in the game and encourages even more time wasting. 

 

Just my opinion 👍

Players would be encouraged to feign injury like they used to when subs were just for injuries.

[HighPeakFox]

My guess would be:

 

Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Wolves, Leicester, Everton.

If it's a serious injury, then that's fine. 

 

Cramp, which is very convenient and only seems to happen to players on the team that happens to be winning, needs extra additional time added on. 

 

Manager's might decide to cut it out if even more time was added. 

 

Cheating, time wasting and gamesmanship needs to be eradicated from the game and proper measures need putting in place. 

 

Use VAR and impose bans if necessary 👍

Surprised that 9 voted for it to be quite honest. I assume it was the 'Big 6' and maybe one or two down the bottom, such as your Brighton's, who are perfectly satisfied with staying up, and their squad depth will be stronger than teams they're competing with (the promoted sides).

This.

Not good for us, but the right decision.

Why is it not good for us? We should be confident of winning against clubs outside the top 6 irrespective of this rule change but our squad depth is way off the Big 6's as was shown in the FA Cup game v Chelsea when they were able to bring on a phalanx of internationals to turn a game around in their favour. Anything that stops the Big 6 having a further advantage is fine by me.

With our thin squad, and EL, 5 subs would definitely help lessen the impact of all those games.

It’s the right decision.
 

Was getting ridiculous by the end, 6/7 mins added time was becoming the norm.

 

Need to get rid of the drinks break too before it becomes TV ads.

 

Does anyone know if the drinks break was a temporary change (that automatically lapses next season), or does that require a vote to overturn it as well?

Absolutely this. Should be an instant red for gamesmanship, diving, etc. Its the scurge of the game has been for a while.

 

Have a feeling it wont go as it's a tactic used by the elite to maintain their dominance.

But in practice Man U etc would be allowed to have players perpetually rolling around in injury time where as the minute a Leicester player went down would result in a 3 match ban, oh and VAR would back this up.

11-9 was closer than I would’ve expected but 100% the right decision 

It suggests that maybe we voted for it.

[Nick]

2 pages on this and nobody has made a shit gag about limiting Brendan’s substitution options being a good thing?

 

This place has gone to the dogs.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we voted for, not that any of us would want it, but with Europe next season, shorter pre season, and the injuries we had, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility. Wolves maybe given the length of their season? I was expecting 14-6 but at least it didn’t go through 

👍

[SheppyFox]

Good call, the big clubs have already got enough advantages.

[Ric Flair]

4 subs and a squad of 20 would have been my preference, with 2 having to be academy players.
