Germany's top men's league is the latest to follow a trend set by the 2022 World Cup and the English Premier League by measuring the exact time taken up by events like red cards, penalties and injuries, and adding that amount on at the end of each half. 'We currently have just under 60 minutes of net playing time (with the ball in play), which will probably increase somewhat,' said Knut Kircher, the German refereeing body's managing director of sports and communication, in comments reported Tuesday by German agency dpa.

Crystal Palace hit out at Europa League demotion: Merit is rendered meaningless
Premier League side Crystal Palace said on Tuesday that sporting merit had been "rendered meaningless" by UEFA's decision to relegate them from the Europa League. In a strongly worded statement on Tuesday, the FA Cup winners said they were seeking legal advice on possible next steps following Monday's ruling, accusing European football's governing body of stripping their qualification of any decision was centered on multi-club ownership rules. At the time of the assessment on 1 March, U.S. businessman John Textor's Eagle Football Group were majority owners of Olympique Lyonnais—who had also qualified for the Europa League—and held shares in Crystal Palace. UEFA ruled that this arrangement breached competition regulations designed to prevent conflicts of Eagle Football sold their stake in Palace last month, CAS upheld the original decision and dismissed Palace's claims of unfair treatment, which had cited the cases of Lyon and Nottingham Forest. Forest, who had finished lower than Palace in domestic competition, have now taken their Europa League place. "The decision by UEFA and followed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport shows that sporting merit is rendered meaningless," Palace said. "It appears that certain clubs, organisations and individuals have a unique privilege and power while we respect the CAS tribunal members, the process is designed to severely restrict and, in our case, make it almost impossible to receive a fair hearing."UEFA's decision has wider implications for the governance of the sport. A combination of poorly conceived regulations and their unequal application means our brilliant fans will be deprived of the chance to watch this team compete in the Europa League for the first time in our history."Palace also referenced a recent European Court of Justice ruling, which allows national courts to conduct in-depth reviews of CAS awards for compliance with EU law, insisting it could ensure greater scrutiny and fairness in future."Only then will fairness and due process be granted to every team," the club added. "Although we continue to take legal advice on the next steps, we will compete in the Conference League."The Eagles, who lifted the Community Shield on Sunday by beating Premier League champions Liverpool on penalties, will enter the Conference League qualifying play-off round later this month.- Ends
