NEW: FA written reasons show Arne Slot told referee Michael Oliver after the Merseyside derby he had “fucking give them everything” + “if we don’t win the league, I’ll fucking blame you.”
@scottjwillis I just made this exact point before seeing your post.
Yes, it could work if applied as in basketball. But it must be done by every ref every time the goalkeeper has the ball.
And they’ll have to decide when exactly to start counting.
But that must be done by all refs every time the goalkeeper has the ball. Otherwise forget the whole thing.
Just imagine the posts every time a keeper waits 10 secs, 9.3 secs, etc etc
The only way this works is consistency.
This only works if refs consistently apply it.
Football could learn from basketball here.
There the refs make a counting gesture with their arms for certain (crazy basketball) rules. Then everyone knows they’re counting and can see why they’ve blown the whistle.
Last season in Man Utd v Brighton, Onana held on to ball for average 4.8sec but Steele for average 14.8sec.
New law change means a corner will be conceded if keepers hold on for more than 8sec in time-wasting crackdown

@HarrySymeou With respect, I’m not sure what you were expecting. This was always going to be a grind-it-out game. They nearly did thru Calafiori in the first half.
Don’t think we were ever going to blow their doors off, and Forest were set up to play on the break.
@YankeeGunner@ArsenalVPodcast@clivepafc@Stillmanator Maybe somewhat. But he also tried to go big on Mudryk, tried to get Sesko, etc.
How much do we attribute to Mikel’s psychology versus chance, the market, club’s approach to its finances, and so on? Just saying psychoanalysis oversimplifies and is hard to test
Think we’d better buckle up for the rest of this season, Arsenal fans.
2 late goals against a very bad Leicester. 0 against a bad West Ham.
It’s a good thing Chelsea and Bournemouth are dropping points.
How will PSR shape the summer transfer window?
Had to bring back the fountain of knowledge @mjshrimper to talk about this and we’re also joined by @jwhitey98 for some extra sauce on the topic.
