An alternative view to all the naysayers here who say that the loosey-goosey way football does time is part of the charm of the game.
On football fan sites lots of people bring up the idea of more precise timekeeping - 35 minute halves with the clock stopped when play has stopped. This is often offered as a solution to teams that, upon gaining an unexpected lead, will waste time at free kicks, throw-ins, and injuries. They do this confident in the knowledge that the referee will never add on more than 3 minutes at the end barring something truly unusual, but they will have wasted far more than 3 minutes.
