Can't say I've ever seen it the way you describe myself and I've 'seen' a lot of games
A couple of Man City games this season spring to mind. I've seen others but can't remember the details.

The irony here is that allowing DFKs and GKs to be passed to defenders in the box would benefit... exactly Man City! who want to play out from the back.A couple of Man City games this season spring to mind. I've seen others but can't remember the details.
I saw a few retakes in the U17s in Uruguay... maybe it's a plague in women's leagues?cant recall this being used as time wasting either, not even on TV or that
What I would say though is, womens/girls football they tend to take short goal kicks, so maybe there is more to the thinking that we know
Yes. On TV and in my game. Very rare I must add.Sorry, has anyone EVER seen this as a time wasting tactic?
We have something similar at U9 and U10 here in the states. We call it the buildout line. Some really low level leagues have the other team retreat to the halfway line at goalkicks for U11/U12.U12 and U13 in Sydney (I think whole of Aus) have a 25 metre rule. They player 11v11 full pitch. All opponents must remain 25 metres away from the goal line after a goal kick until another defender has touched the ball. It's to encourage playing from the back.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
It ain't broke
Completely agree, get rid of all this messing about checking if it has left the PA, ensuring attackers don't cut through the PA when it is taken etc.Well given it happened in all three EPL games today, twice in two of them, I'd say there is evidence it is broken. In commentary Jamie Carragher admitted that he used to deliberately step into the area to get rid of any pressure, so it has been a problem for some time.
If a team wants to play out from the back there should have to take the risk that comes with it, but the current law allows them to use a loophole to get themselves out of trouble.
OK, can't say I've ever noticed it. Shame the lawmakers address the trifling issues rather then having the guts to address the cheating and circus antics which have killed top flight football for me. Maybe I haven't noticed the issue in question because i long since stopped watching the PL religiously because it's embarrassing. As for Champions League, I'd rather watch Coronation StreetWell given it happened in all three EPL games today, twice in two of them, I'd say there is evidence it is broken.

That was attackers running through the penalty box today as opposed to defenders stepping in to prevent it... at least 2 of them.were that anywayWell given it happened in all three EPL games today, twice in two of them, I'd say there is evidence it is broken.

Confirmation bias?That was attackers running through the penalty box today as opposed to defenders stepping in to prevent it... at least 2 of them.were that anyway
What you mean?Confirmation bias?
Quote, 'is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses'What you mean?
