More (I)FABulous law changes on their way

Referees have so much pressure on them to perform that it is time some of the responsibility was taken off them. The use of goal-line technology in the top flight has eradicated any doubt and opportunity for error as to whether the ball has crossed the line. Somehow, we need to get that technology working further down the pyramid. Perhaps if we also took timekeeping away from them, then there would be less pressure at the end of games when the mysterious "added time" amount is often questioned. Rugby Union and League uses a time-keeper who is able to fairly stop the clock in circumstances where unnecessary time is being taken - hardly a revolutionary change or one that would require significant implementation (and would give the Premier League/Football League further opportunities for sponsorship no doubt).
