Richard Keys raises an important issue

The idea of ​​suspension has been raised before. IFAB (the International Football Council) offered similar proposals in 2017, indicating two halves of 30 minutes each time the watch stops every time the ball comes out of play.

Defenders argue that this would remove time, guarantee fairness, and give supporters more value, especially with the continued rise in ticket prices.

However, critics argue that the introduction of a stop point would mainly change the rhythm and football flow, which may make matches with excessive organization.

However, KEYS comments added fuel to a discussion unlikely to disappear. With the English Premier League experience already with more stringent guidelines in time and time stopping times, the idea of ​​an effective playing watch for 60 minutes may gain traction in the coming years.
