These days it is invariably common that a substitution by an opposing team that is leading during injury time will take a huge chunk out of injury time and sometimes even leads to the departing player being booked, the booking is obviously of little detterent. My suggestion is that were the FA or FIFA to implement the rule that if a player was taking an excessive amount of time to leave the field of play then the departing player and the newly introduced player were booked, i feel this would be a suitable punishment and give them a real incentive to get on with the game. I understand this isn't one of football's biggest problems, but it can very easily be solved.
Also did anyone see that experiment they were doing in south america where the referee has a can of spray paint and sprays a line in front of an opposition wall and anyone that crosses the line is booked for encroaching, so no more creeping forward, plus the spray disappears (degrades i assume) after a minute or so. It looked really good and was wondering if any of the forum members could tell me more.
