Think that between 1h30 and 2h00 is still realistic period of refin'. And if the trio is composed by good refs you can imagine turn their role, a main ref become an assistant etc...
We are aslo really thinking about writing a penalty shot rules, based on the ice hockey one for the shot scenario:

Ball in the middle, you have to avance all time (no round circle) and shot before crossing the line.
This can happens any time a last defensive player (last mean between ball and empty net) make a foul on a player with the ball.
It happens in our game against Mum lovers, Quentin (helmet on this board) was completly out of his net when a opponent came with the ball. In a last move Quentin put his mallet under the wheel of the player who felt of. All the crowd was shooting "penalty penatly" to see a penalty shot. I thought that if the ref called a penalty shot and invented the rule right for this case, nobody would have complain because it was too obvious that it was a perfect penalty shot situation.
Some argue that a 30 second penalty is enough but i think a penalty shot is easier to enforce and really spectacular.
If that's also a too small penalty, who can for example push good goalkeepers team to provide lot of last chance foul to avoid goals, we could also imagine that if the penalty shot is missed, you apply the 30 sec penalty after.
