How about this for solving the problem of lower-league time wasting?
As soon as the ref decides that a team is deliberately time wasting, he calls over the captain and warns him. At the next occurance, he books the player AND the captain (ungentlemanly conduct). The next occurance, he books the player AND the captain again. The captain is sent off. A new captain takes his place. If this process results in too few players remaining on the pitch, the game is awarded to the opposing side and recorded as a 5-0 victory and the manager is banned from the touch-line for three games.
Think that might sort the problem pretty quickly.
