Good thing for the game, but RIP my usual train home
Good, I want to see a full 90 minutes of football and if it takes 3 hours to complete a game I'm happy to sit and watch it.
Theres been too much fannying around for too long.

Should slowly stop the bullshit in the game
No advantage to acting like you've been shot to waste 5 mins

The average in-play time last season was 55 mins for premier league games. Under this system we will move towards 30 minute halves.
Looking at the stuff about penalties, “holding, pulling and pushing” are a bit vague and done all the time as part of defending. OK, but stricter with VAR but I’m wondering is that any different to previous rules aside from saying certain offences will just be yellows?
I quite enjoyed the 100+ minutes of some football matches we were seeing at the World Cup
I was surprised it is stated so blatantly that the correct time wasn’t added on before. It states in the article above that ‘a nominal amount of time’ would be added. It’s no wonder teams deliberately wasted time when quite clearly the referee was doing very little about it.
I agree with the idea in principle. But can’t be arsed knocking about for 2 plus hours. Hopefully it stops all the silly bollocks.
Great when we need a goal. Won't be so much fun when we're 1 up and hanging on.
Excellent news, hate some of the time wasting we’ve seen in the past few seasons, Preston, Blackburn to name just two.
Watched chesterfield v dorking, that had 14 minutes added time. Great to see, especially as chesterfield scored a winner in the 100th minute and they were on my accumulator 
Twats, if they had done this two seasons ago we would have walked this league
Enough subs for that, no?
However as for discipline to avoid the pitfalls, probably dissapea as the season unfolds, creating lots of debate for the pundits to waffle on.
if we still had Viktor he would have doubled his goals with amount of extra time they are playing
Good. Don't f*ck around and you won't have to play 100+ minutes.
It really is a simple solution, if players get injured it's not because of the new rules.

At least the ref added enough time for them to score a seventh
It’s a great rule change and a bit of a game changer, I noticed Sunday there wasn’t a lot of rolling around and playing dead when tackled let’s see if that continues I can’t remember either of the physios coming on to treat players. There was nine minutes added which at the time I thought where did that come from but obviously did.
From our ccfc point of view we are normally strong physically in the latter stages of games so an added 9/10 minutes or more we should be happy about.
There are going to be a lot of late goals throughout this season.

I see the players and management of the top four clubs have already started bleating about the added time and number of games. Fresh from their money making pre-season tours of the other side of the world.
On Su day we looked dead on out by 80 mins whereas Leicester still had energy. Lack of preseason games obviously didn’t help so hopefully that will improve.
