Yes I think all players should be compelled to keep the ball in play at all times & should be penalised for not doing so. Players who drop the ball well down field after they have been brought back by the refs whistle should also be penalised. Every time a second is wasted it is a second that we fans have paid to see & it may be the second that your team may have needed to save or win a game.

How can you penalise someone when they are not breaking any of the laws of the game?

And, if the question is should we change the rule – no. Our game is based on possession of the football and If possession is so vital in the last few seconds of a game then the team needing it should be innovative about gaining it

Yep, fair call Dunbar.

I was outraged that my thread was ever locked in the first place. What were you thinking of?

I know, it was never even a voluntary tackle in the first place.
