MARK CLATTENBURG: Football should introduce 60-minute matches with a stop-clock - that way, every game would last the same length and we'd get rid of time-wasting that was on display during Man City's Champions League defeat at Real Madrid

Players tell me I've done them dirty, and supporters call me this and that for the same 'crime'.

As if those additional 60 seconds they lost were the reason they didn't get the result they wanted.

We referees know stoppage time is a contentious subject. The winning team want less - the losing team want more.
