Stoppage time isn’t enough
Calling into question how much time refs add on for stoppages and time wasting. Conclusion: it isn’t enough.
And who is being used as an example of a team benefitting from this? Oh, it’s Manchester United. Of course it is. https://www.skysports.com/football/n...-need-accuracy https://www.skysports.com/watch/vide...ble-added-time |

We probably would’ve won the Chelsea match he cites had we been given another couple of minutes tbh. |

Just typical of course that we are used as the example. |

The people in charge the game are unbelievably incompetent and smug in their own little bubbles. Why would they want change? Not sure about corruption (perish the thought) but there’s definitely some favouritism going around.
A stop watch/clock, on display in every ground (not difficult) so we can all see. Then, refs miked up and communicating. Rugby manages it openly, for all to see and they’re not swimming in money to facilitate it. Without going into specifics, I think we’ve all seen refs blatantly ignore shit that my missus can spot. Everywhere. The media used to harp on all the time about hoolies, but barely a whisper about this stuff. It’s worse. They’re as complicit in their silence as the fa, pl, refs club. @#%&!s. Wouldn’t mind if it was consistently bad. |

It would be good if something was done about it, but it won't stop gamesmanship. Slowing down the flow to disrupt a team's rhythm, feigning injuries would become even worse, kicking the ball away, walking in front of the ball at free-kicks, distracting the ref for trivial/non-existent things.
It's becoming more and more a game of @#%&!ishness and slyness. |

I think it would stop it to some extent. They’ll just find new ways to disrupt.
No way Newcastle fancy playing to 110 minutes at OT, which is what it should’ve been, for instance. The one thing is it plays into the hands of the bigger and better sides, again. It’s a necessary and useful tactic for a smaller team trying to get a result at United or City, for instance, take it away and you’ll see fewer upsets, I suppose. |

Not arsed about it tbh. Part of the game isn’t it. If it’s blatant and over the top then fair enough, but there’s an art to getting away with it, and it can be a leveller for teams of lower quality against the big guns.
Don’t agree at all with adding it on almost automatically as a result of the ball going out of play etc. Hated the World Cup tbh where 10 minutes plus seemed to be added on as standard, even when there was no sign of blatant and consistent time wasting. |

About time something is done about this. Often four minutes is considered a lot, but it's pitiful when you consider the amount of time wasted by players feigning injury, and by the number of substitutions.
And that's before you get to the likes of Kieran Trippier taking an ice age before every set piece. |
