Former referee proposes solution to end football controversies!

Liverpool hosted Everton in Week 5 of the English Premier League. Liverpool won the match with a score of 2-1. While the added stoppage time at the end of the match became a talking point, a former referee shared a statement about the situation.

ADDED TIME BECAME A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION

The addition of only three minutes of stoppage time in the second half of the crucial match caused controversy and angered fans. This incident quickly became a topic of discussion in England.

'I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE'

Everton manager David Moyes reacted after the match, saying, “Three minutes was very strange. I find it unbelievable.”

RADICAL PROPOSAL

Former Premier League referee Keith Hackett suggested a radical proposal, saying that the rules regarding extra time need to be changed.

Here are Hackett's words:

“We should consider taking the timing of matches out of the referees' hands and introducing an independent timekeeper who operates a stopwatch inside the stadium. This way, we'll have fewer players feigning injuries and likely see fewer stoppages.”
