OK, so today, just watched my first game -- and I guess we're all going to have to get used to all that extra time. 10+ minutes for the first half unheard of, but personally, I think it's great if it reduces time-wasting and simulation. I would prefer if teams who did it were punished by refs to give that extra time only if the opponent needs it (and if the team guilty is losing, they blow regular).

It seems excessive at the moment. 20+ mins per game mean almost 15 extra "matches" over the season!
