Today's football.

If you actually read what i linked it's quite clear that he isn't the only person who monitors and decides on the time, but he makes the final decision. You said he was the 'sole arbiter', which is clearly not true.

No need to call people idiots, take a chill pill.

If he makes the final decision, then he's the only one who decides. It's not put to a vote, for Chrissakes.

He obviously does have input, that's why they monitor it. Ref makes the final decision on advice from other officials.

What have been the major changes in the process over recent years?

Just that fourth officials note down every stoppage of play. They can present it to the management team of any club - should they want a list.



Thats why they monitor it.

Christ, this guy on 606 is an utter weapon.

Bellend, trying to defend him by citing bad tackles.

Also how did Carragher manage to stay on the pitch today???

 

[noharmdone]

IDIOT YOU ARE LAD.

What ?

 

[toffee-fellaini]

They are all defending him hahahaha CULT

 

[Brennan]

What ?

It was a joke mate...

Gerrard says he's been the best player in the league by a distance. There is no doubt about that. He is only behind Messi and Ronaldo in world football.

Utter bollocks. Bale has been better than him by a country mile.

Saw that! Stevie Me - 'Suarez is the third best player in the world' LOL! Although nowhere near as ridiculous as his assertion that Joe Cole was as good as Messi.......

 

[bluelife]

'I think the media hates suarez, they loved cantona'
'What's the difference between stamping and biting?'

606 quick lads

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Another utter weapon on, fckin hell.

Same here, but honestly thought the extra time was decided by the 4th official. Ref could play longer though. Perhaps is use to be. Dont really care though!

What is displayed, and what usually gets announced over the tannoy, is that there "will be a MINIMUM of X minutes." But it's rare for said time to go that far over the posted amount unless there are significant stoppages during the extra time.

 

[Chang Elephant]

I was wrong about him not making the decision, not arsed.

But he doesn't make the decision on his own.

You sound like Brendan mate, no shame.

Caller on 606 saying its the same as a stamp.

You don't pass bodily fluids by stamping on someone.
