Never used to be as bad, but I can't imagine the ball was ever in play for more than 65-70 minutes tops in an average game. There's a lot of natural stoppages for set pieces, celebrations, substitutions, injuries without any time-wasting at all. Extending the games would be a huge change to the sport.
still a lot more than it is today, no so much play acting, and with so much less money involved a goal was celebrated but not as bad as todays game because the ££££££'s for that goal wasn't as big if it even existed in those days
