Added Time a lottery?

[davieG]

Just watching the Besiktas v Olympiakos game where there were 3 first half goals and  a sending off and only 1 minute of official added time.  I understood it was 30secs / goal am I wrong or is it all down to guess work?

 

It really is time to have an official time keeper and a visible clock we could then know what's going on and avoid the need to book players being subbed etc.

There is quite a lot of discretion:

Doesn't seem from that any discretion to reduce the time for substitutions and convinces me that even for the official minimum added time It is a lottery.

Leigertwood is a name I haven't heard in a long time.

 

Wanted us to sign him when we were in the Championship.

I think only British officials apply the correct amount of stoppage time. Foreign officials seem to want to get off the pitch as quickly as possible. It's incredibly frustrating as someone who tends to rely on added on time for corners/cards to win bets haha.

apparently nasri is looking at a fine for taking nearly 4 minutes to leave the pitch on Tuesday, there were 4 minutes added time. so he basically added no time at all for the goal, the subs, the bits of time wasting and the penalty incident. hero.

First half: 1 minute unless there's been a serious injury, in which case it's 2.

 

Second half: 3 minutes if the game hasn't stopped once. 5 if the bigger club are losing.

 

This is the standard formula.

Generally speaking as a referee I mainly add time on for injuries, cautions and substitutions if the player is deliberately wasting time but this is only Sunday league but the way the managers bang on about it these days you get shot down if you don't add on time. I don't add time on for a goal scored as Sunday league celebrations aren't usually as excessive.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

First half added time is always half of what it usually should be. Unless a major injury has occurred

So it is a lottery then.

If things are ticking over nicely and everyone has been cracking on with corners and goal kicks etc, I think they should be able to subtract time.

But that would mean everyone leaving at same time thus creating the traffic?
