Footballers already get enough protection. And the added extra time wouldn't be needed if footballers didn't always dive and feign injuries to waste time.

[craigpartytime-mcfc]

The problem isnt the extra mins, its the scheduling of games especialy at the top end of the league, some players have 65 games for clubs, then 10 interntionals during the season, and then alot of seasons have the international tournament in the summer!

Some city players played 55games last season, finshed 2nd week of june, had to fly to play a week international, had 3 weeks holiday and then was back getting ready for the nw season! Players should have a minimum 3 days between games, one days rest then rcovery, and then day training!

Other leagues help their clubs, but the problem is the greedy fifa and uafa and it wont get any better, in a yars time rhe champions league will be expanding, with 4 extea lewgue games then potentially extra 2 games in next stages if you went all the way, the ridiculous scheduleing of the nationas league mewns more internationals!!! Even the working mangets 5 weeks holiday per year! Yes they get paid alot of money, their is no doubts about that! But their just to many games, some players play 75 matches a season including internationals! You just dilute the quality of the player in the long term!!! And its little woumded their has already been so many injuries in the furst week of season, anybody think thats connected to world cup mid season crammed i to a extended season!

Alteady had timber, jesus, zinchenko, Kevin de bruyner, mings, bundia, the centre half at chelaea, nkuku, big players who picking up long term injuries already!

[AM-sooq]

Pro football is played at a pace and intensity that most of us wouldn’t be able to do for 30 mins let alone 90 + stoppage. Big wages and great physios don’t make you super human, we all have a physical limit

[micah]

Once severe injuries start becoming a regular occurrence and the quality of football matches decreases let’s see if people still think player welfare is nonsense.

[bobopatchnosuke]

Footballers did this to themselves, acting like they are competing against Natalie Du Toit in swimming.

[AldershotDave]

When I played, I’d play for a team on a Saturday afternoon, another one on a Sunday morning and then play for yet another team on a Sunday afternoon!

Also, I was at a level where players had to pay to play!!

I don’t wasn’t a svelte, super fit athlete!! I was an average Joe that worked 6 days a week and then played football on a weekend!

[cameronpieterse]

Pause the time when the ball is dead.. same as rugby.. blow final whistle on 90....

[magikarpsplashy]

If only managers had pushed for 5 subs and then only use 1 after 85 minutes eh

[snookerstones]

Instead of adding the whole injury time just do it from 70 mins onwards

[Gigity]

I think all the negative comments about poor poor player exhaustion are kind of missing the point. Its not about playing time, its about playing at peak performance levels and recovery before the next match, in order to do it all again. Usain Bolt would run a 100m race and not get any stick at all for not running the 10, 000m after it. I guess he was just lazy?

[samirpandey]

You can use the 5 subs for the player’s protection. That’s what’s it’s for.

[blueshadow]

It’s Ridiculous
Instead of actually doin what matters like 👍 fixing their sh*t VAR
or their terrible 😞 refs like that bad ref. that officiated UTD Wolves 🐺‼️👎👎

[TheBigKing]

“I loved waking up, training, playing football”. But in the same breath he’s complaining about too many games.

[noahholland]

Its not the time added; it’s the winter World Cup and the overload it has created over an 18 month period.

[richardandrews]

This was first brought in by FIFA for the Qatar world cup with more time added on for wasting time subs var checks goal celebrations as well as injuries, it was going to brought in after the world cup, but European leagues quite rightly there associations said no considering it was halfway through there league seasons. This was not brought in by UEFA but by IFAB via FIFA which also wants to see the ball in play more often thats also a factor in this hopefully players will eventual learn to stop time wasting and maybe things can be tweaked like time added on for goal celebrations and eventually the time added on will decrease

[mishradd]

Why are you talking about City now, this is happening every year, PL has never changed schedule for these type of cases

[leo]

No matter what we all saying, still think PL would have done better than Saturday night.

[jimjones]

Footballers are dying younger than ever before they'll be sorry when someone has a heart attack.

[pipbeale]

"...i dont know him well enough" 😂😂😂

[Scouseviking]

Even if a player did play a full 75 games extremely rare that’s only 112 hours of game time in a whole season the average man does that in 2 weeks while still having juggle family life and still having to worry about money then they we go and spend our money following our clubs across the country and Europe and they’re are moaning over being tired come on I would run a marathon 7 days a week to earn what they get
