Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has called on football to introduce a time limit at set-pieces to curb time wasting.
It is one of two changes to the game’s laws that Clattenburg, who recently quit his role as referees’ chief in Egypt, would like to see introduced. The other is to give officials the powers to reverse decisions, such as turning a goal kick into a corner, if players purposely waste time.
Clattenburg, who took charge of the Euro 2016 final and the Champions League final in the same year, was a Premier League referee for over 13 years and admits he gets irritated when he sees side’s purposely time-waste. And he believes that the two changes would quickly curb time-wasting.
