Nobody has commented on this part of the post, but are we sure this is right?

Isn't the "clock properly starting" component only relevant when a player is subbed out of the game? In this case, he simply reported after the warning horn. If the period starts without the clock running, can't we then beckon the sub in at the next dead ball?
