The immediate reaction of most fans to this is probably that football would simply not be the same without 45-minute halves. In the scenario they envisage, the clock would stop every time the ball goes out of play. Also when a goal has been scored the clock will stop until they kick-off again. Goals are basically why fans attend football matches, so let the players celebrate even if they do look rather foolish at times. While all these proposals would definitely speed up play, one suspects fans will still demand their full 90 minutes, time-wasting and all.
