Name the only three players in history to have scored a goal in each minute of a match.

I.E. They have scored a goal in the 1st minute of a match, the 2nd minute, the 3rd minute all the way through to the 90th minute.

Suarez is one for definite

I’m going to guess Ronaldo as one of the others

Then it’s anyone from Messi , Raul ,

Maybe Benzema

Zlatan is other.

pretty sure it was him first. Suarez only just joined them last week I think.

I think a female footballer achieved this in one match

Why didn’t he refuse to take the pen until they stopped the lasers?

In the vid it doesn't look like he's squinting or trying to block them out, maybe he didn't even notice them or they didn't bother him. Then he missed the penalty just because people miss penalties sometimes. ??‍

Premier League to allow 5 substitutions from next season. I hope it doesn't increase the possibility of destroying the tempo of some decent games.

Absolutely will!

Not a fan of this one bit to be honest. I can just see clubs wasting the last 10 minutes making unneccessary subs if they're up in the game

Nah VAR has already done that.

They can only be made on 3 occasions during the game (plus half time), which I assume is to mitigate that issue. I'm guessing it will help teams with big squads.

Just read a piece which said that the premier league is the only one which does not allow 5 subs. Don’t know how true that is.

30 minutes each way. Timekeeper. Ball moving, clock on, ball not moving, clock off. It's not difficult unless the FA & the Premier League make it so.

(Yes, you're right, I've said this before. And I reserve the right to say it again. Ad nauseam. Until the authorities do something about time wasting.)

Just keep 45 minutes and manage the time the way you say, once the hard-of-thinking realise the histrionics are to no avail, it'll stop.

Then. let the VAR Official make decisions in the same fashion as the TMO in rugby.

Red card for falling to the ground holding your face for no reason.

ah, jumpers for goal posts, it is all so easy to fix.

I'm pretty sure time wasting if often more to do with breaking up the play, and therefore either stopping the momentum of the opposition, or stopping them gaining momentum. So, I am pretty sure you'd still have time wasting, diving, feigning injury to get free kicks and opposition booked, etc. However, the game might last 3 hours.

Feigning injuries, get VAR to deal with them; failing to promptly restart the game, yellow card. It can be done if the authorities have the stomach for it.

What the hell? Why? That's rubbish. Just favours the likes of City who can bring on five fresh world class players from the bench.

Players are already subject to a yellow card for time wasting, so that is nothing new. And, it will still always be subjective and the referee will have a degree of tolerance. Feigning injuries is difficult. Unless it is a clear dive, who is to tell a player wasn't hurt or not? I've been on the end of heavy challenges and not been hurt at all, and yet I've been on the end of ridiculously light challenges and it has hurt like a bugger. Last week I had a fairly innocent clash of knees, and could barely walk for the next couple of minutes.

? Ave said before.There’s a difference between a hurt player and an injured player. Unfortunately some go down like they are gonna spend the rest of there lives paralysed only to be cured after 3 mins with the magic sponge ?

Manage it like rugby and stop the clock when the ball goes out of play or when there is any break in play (VAR check, injury etc)
