Minutes Added On

Zero consistency in how it's worked out. Funny how it seems to always favour a select few teams. One would almost think there was some sort of favouritism going on.....:mad:
 

One thing we can't do is blame the ref for the extra injury time. One of our players suffered an injury so naturally more time was added. The same thing happened to our benefit last season in the home game V Southampton.
 
why do teams make subs in injury time to wast time, is the one that always gets me,do they still never know the time gets added on,then you have players going down in injury time to waste time,same again,it gets added on
 
The only real complaint we had was in the last 4 minutes, we had the ball by their corner flag, playing it right it was our throw , and it was given to them..... that may have made the difference of not getting a draw....
 

Unfortunately for us we had a referee who quite correctly recognised the minimum of aspect of added time and carried on past that time. 90% of the time it's a valid tactic as most refs can't wait to blow up and minimise the chance of having to make a tricky decision. Today's ref was much better than that.

It's the most idiotic "feature" in the football rules in my opinion. Game-time should be postponed when the ball is out of play and there should be the ending whistle when it comes to 90th minute. Just like in almost every other sport.

There are no added minutes in basketball and it works perfect.

Except in football the ball is rarely in play for 60 minutes. You'd be adding 30 minutes to a match when it's arguable that the current 90 minutes is already a bit long for an entertaining spectacle.

Edit - Also, there's a chance that it would encourage "clock management" which is very dull. At least the current rules have a slight uncertainty that can affect players and encourage them to attack.
 
This one is dead easy. You have a time keeper in the stand. You stop the clock only when 1) a goal is scored 2) a trainer is on the pitch 3) for a substitution. The referee has the discretion of signalling to the time keeper to add a minute if he thinks either team is time wasting. Errrr......that's it. How hard is that?
 
Out of all the leagues around the world England actually does it better than others. You watch games abroad and it´s ridiculous. 3 minutes go up on the board and one of the teams will spend at least 2 of those making subs. 93 minutes comes up and the referee blows his whistle.

It went against us today but the referee was spot on.
 
4 minutes added. Goal scored at 90+6. Unfortunately for us, Gueye had sat on the floor for nearly 2 mins with the ref asking him if he needs the trainer on. He then grinned when he got what he wanted. If he genuinely has a knock then fair enough but seemed to be trying to time waste and the ref did his job properly by adding it on so can’t really complain. It wasn’t him that kept the ball in play when it was going over the bar
 

I can see why he has carried on over the 94 mark. But Surely mass celebrations, flares on the pitch, Tommy Mallet invading the pitch. Should have added another minute after the goal?

The officials in basketball have to give the player the ok to throw in the ball on an inbounds play, or a foul. It can't be officiated like basketball.

Changing the rules of the game because your team lost is sorry.

They gave up a crap goal, it sucks. But advocating or blaming the rules is as dumb as blaming Gana for that goal.
