I've seen many keepers get booked (including the one last night) and also warned after being booked but they never get sent off. Surely if one ref has the balls to send a keeper off it will put an end to this behaviour and make the game much better to watch.

Always seems to me the Time wasting does not bother the referees until the keeper gets back on to his feet. Equally why are most bookings for time wasting made in the last 10 minutes of a game ? .some teams waste time once they are a goal up regardless of how much time has been played

It only lasted one season, but as far as I am aware, I don't remember that rule ever changing (forgive me if I am wrong?)
If it hasn't changed, keepers cling onto the ball for way longer than that every single time - sometimes excessively when they are winning the game.

I remember this and it make the game much faster and meant that players had to get back into position. For me, the annoyance is that the laws are there to help the refs but they appear to ignore them or are instructed to do so

Another thing I've noticed over the years is when keepers kick the ball from their hands they usually end up near the edge of the D outside the area when kicking. I thought goalies were meant to stay in their area for their kicks.
I guess it's not much different to players gaining a few yards on a throw in

To true supporters of football in means something but that isn't who the EFL and particularly the PL are catering for.
