About 15 years ago they introduced a rule that the GK could only hold the ball in his hands for no more than 6 seconds.
Any idea why this got reversed?

I'd like to see a similar rule that's used in certain rugby codes where play continues but the physio is allowed to enter the field of play. I think that would cut out most of the diving/play acting immediately

It is definitely a good idea to implement this. But, as it is a good idea and will diminish corruption in the game, the powers that be will never implement it.

Time wasting has been worse this year than any other year I can remember.
I just watched the Sheffield Wednesday keeper take almost 2 minutes to take a goal kick! I wouldn’t mind but it’s only 40 minutes into the game!

I think football needs to go back to how it started, with no rules* or refs. Just let 11 blokes kick the shit out of each other for 90 minutes whilst attacking and defending the goals, Shrovetide style.
*other than no manslaughter or murders allowed.

This was mooted last season. Personally, I think it's a good idea as refs will have less influence in their match fixing.
2 appeals for a VAR review would also be a good idea, similar to Cricket.

It seems on average the ball is only in play for about 55 minutes each game, so it’s unlikely a 60 minute stop clock match would finish any earlier than matches finish now.

Think ref's need to just stop time wasting antics.

Why not still 90 minutes and nobody gets short changed. Unless my season ticket is going down by a 3rd too?
