The timewasting and feigning injury is getting worse week on week, especially in the National League, not to mention the keeper holding onto the ball for going on 20 seconds now or delaying a goal kick beyond 10 seconds, really needs looking at.

Grappling, holding, shirt pulling, another area officials just don't police it. Make it 9v9 if you have to, the managers and players then learn and it stops, but they just choose not to get involved.

it's being accused of inconsistency that refs worry about. there will be fans with stopwatches next checking on the opposition time-wasting and demanding action from refs for every delay. Nwaneri getting booked taking a corner before half-time must be a first

They all count out loud in the National League 😂 Classic on NYD, Eastleigh keeper gets booked on about 57 mins for time wasting, quite early, then proceeds to take exactly the same time on every kick, ref doesn't act on it! Could argue they're all inconsistent from one game to next....gives us talking points tho 😊
