Time Added On

[beetee]

Any idea why we don't put up the time added on at the end of each half and keep the clock running on the big screens?
It would be nice to know what time is left without having to look at ones watch.

There has not been a clock invented that goes past 45:00 or 90:00.

I thought clubs were not allowed to do that , for one it is a minimum time only.

I imagined that might be the case but stupid rule if it is.

Time added on is at the discretion of the referee. The 4th official gives you a clue but that's not definitive.
Putting the extra minutes on the screen would increase tension, frustration and misplaced aggression towards officials from impatient fans in my opinion.

 

[Invipai]

Not a single ground I've ever been to has counted the stoppage time on the screen, so I've always just assumed it was a rule. I time it on my phone usually.

Not sure i agree it would increase aggression. Time wasting and cheating seems to be allowed as part of the game these days. They show it on tv and at games alot of people will time it themselves. Get it up on the screen imo.

i think it most certainly would

It would increase. It’s a minimum time period, managers and fans would be hounding the ref. Was bad enough having managers like Fergie pointing at his watch.

Leave it as it is. What is needed is true time added on. There was no way just 3 minutes of added on time at the end of Saturdays game.

I cant say its made me feel any more or less aggressive when watching at home.

I agree that quite often time added on seems to be a figure plucked from thin air... Managers will hound the ref regardless.. Another thing that has allowed to become part of the game. Sad thing with all of this is if you don't join in with it you're at a disadvantage.

I dont think they are allowed to show it.

The time added on is only a minimum guide and cann be extended for additional injuries and time wasting.

To be honest, im all for two halfs of thirty or thirty five minutes with the clock being stopped when the ball is not in play.

Back to the same debate though. It’s a 90min game. The 30 minute a half nonsense means currently there is only 30minutes of actual game time so let’s stop the clock but still only give you 30minutes? Bit pointless if you ask me. Same with the added on time debate......... get the officials to speed up the aspects of the game they can affect and stop the clock for injuries. I can accept throw ins and goal kicks being slow, it’s the feigning injury that boils my blood.

A new tactic that’s also creeping in is the faking a head injury when under pressure, the ref has to stop the game. Very annoying aspect that happens quite a lot.

Yep, should be punished retroactively. Not by fines though.
Let them rest for a game or two, after all they had a head injury.

It is a rule.

When the 4th official holds up the board, take a note of the added minutes, look at your watch/phone and then you can keep track of the remaining minutes. Hope that helps.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Isn't it referred to as a "minimum of x additional minutes"? If they had a clock, they'd have to make another announcement at the end of the minimum saying how many more minutes and when that finished, they'd have to .......

I can see issues.

The recent stats suggested we were only getting around 25 minutes each half.

Its not just goal kicks and throws, its goal celebrations, free kicks, corner kicks and dawldaling substitutions that waste time and allow teams to cheat.

We desrve to see a fair, full game. The stopping of the clock should be trialled

Err.. That's what i do now ?

Im not advocating a clock that the ref follows...they can continue to make it up as they go along just like they do now ?.. Simply time added on and a running clock like on the TV... That way i could continue to enjoy the game without having to look at my watch or fumble around for my phone to work it out for myself.

and stronger ref's who pull teams / players up on it.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Could start by applying this law:

An indirect free kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area, commits any of the following offences:

• controls the ball with the hand/arm for more than six seconds before releasing it

Yeah the rest of the football world except the millions watching on TV ?
