On a serious note, is time wasting not a cynical attempt to stop play?

When a team is really out to run the clock down the goalkeeper is often the worst culprit.

Yes, but not sure it will be seen as significant as someone getting cynically hacked down in a good position.

I'd be surprised if time wasting was a blue card.

As would I. I am a (cautious) supporter of it. But they do need to clarify certain things

Right. Like, how many blue cards lead to a yellow or a red.

Well that is a yellow card currently (unless it is Rodri). Introducing another layer of complexity seems dangerous- is a mistimed tackle cynical?

I tell you what I would do, specifically in home games. I'd have the ball boys wait until opponents were about to take a throw and then lob another ball on the pitch
