Whats to be done about the slow walk off scenario for substitutions?

Agreed
However...we can hardly complain when someone like FFS made the slow walk an art form and Casper the fannying around before a goal kick. Glasshouses and all that.

It's swings and roundabouts. If we're 1-0 up in the dying minutes on Saturday, I'd hope that any player substituted by us would move as slowly as humanly possible to get off the pitch.

Why would a player who is going OFF give one toss if he is booked 
A booking will just add to the time it takes.
What needs to happen is the countdown clock music needs to start IMMEDIATELY after the board is shown. If the player is not off before the music ends then he is red carded. The music is 30 seconds long and thus fits with the "30 seconds per sub" which a ref will add on.

Definitely needs some kind of visible clock ticking. Just add the time taken to get off the field to the time remaining. Simples.

Kayal's corner kick immediately before the equalising goal was taken exactly on 94 mins. The referee therefore added on the time Will Hughes took up with his football equivalent of kerb-crawling, and played on as necessary.

UTA!!
I have no problem with it - we do it ourselves
the issue yesterday was 4 mins added time was put up, and the ref allowed hardly any time for a slow substitution in that period and the fact a GOAL had been scored.... we should have kept playing til around 96-97 mins but it was all over before 95. Joke

Absolutely! The smug look of self satisfaction on the face of Will Hughes must have soon changed to a grimace of WTF proportions when Wilson scored.

If they are on four bookings for the season they might care. Of course, this would not matter at this time of the season. I like your idea but with the music being Mission Impossible and the other team are allowed to stop them getting off then pitch by ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

A points deduction of 1 point for every player who executes the slow walking motion when subbed off?

I don't think anyone claims we don't.
We also dive. Diving should be punished. We pull shirts in the box. That should be punished.

Slightly off topic bit of inconsistency refereeing ..Stockdake got booked recently for lifting up an 'injured' player Martin did the same to Bruno (he seemed to feign injury) yesterday ...Martin gets away with it

Didn't Ashley Barnes get a yellow card for walking off slowly once. This would certainly quicken the change over particularly if the player coming off is already on a yellow card.

The FA website says that a rule of thumb is 30 seconds per goal celebration and 30 seconds per substitution. I don't actually think refs give as much time as this because if you take a typical second half there will be around 5 substitutions and 2 goals, meaning 3 and a half minutes right there. If you to factor in typical timewasting / delaying, actual stoppages and when the ref gives a player a talking to you've probably got at least another 2 and a half minutes there.
I reckon that added time should ordinarily be 6 minutes - the fact it averages out at around 4 suggests to me that officials DON'T add on all the time they should and a timewasting team could trim 2 minutes off the average second half.
Apart from the fact it's cheating it's also very BORING.
