I bet nothing comes of it, he will be reffing again next week as if nothing happened

That is bonkers. Didn't it happen to us in the Prem once just as the ball went into the 6 yard box from a corner?

Happened in the 86 world cup, of course...

It annoys me enough when they do it if we win a corner.

I don't think he referee should do the time keeping it should be somebody sitting in a room watching the game and then a buzzer goes off in the stadium to t everybody know, the ref has enough to do

What is the actual rule? As much as the attacking team were pissed off if time had been reached then that's it isn't it?

I'd prefer that to be honest. Have the fourth official in charge and instead of adding time stop the clock. Then everyone knows where they are.

Not just the lower leagues, did you see Bentekes penalty dive today!

Bit different though I think. Doesn't Clive Thomas blow for full time as the corner comes over in 86?

This one yesterday, if you play it and play it again, the striker has already hit the shot, so the ref blows after the shot is taken and is on its way in.

That's even worse isn't it?

And here's one that's just spiteful!

78 that was. There was one in 86 that I'm just hunting for

(Although frankly I find the Thomas one even worse, waiting for the corner to go in, *then* blowing for full time!)

What's the one in 86?

Tbf in Hockey once the buzzer goes that's it. Doesn't matter where the puck is. Never get any complaints.

In football it seems like a grey area. Should be one thing or another. I think the law states that 'once the time has finished the ref can blow but can also use his discretion' or something like that.

Speaking as a former ref the only thing you can prolong the game for is a penalty. In this case though it is just very poor judgement by the ref to blow the whistle when someone's about to shoot from 10 yards. When I was training we were always told just to use common sense when the laws were vague.

He blows AFTER the player shoots though. You can quite clearly hear that. The player shoots and THEN the whistle goes.

Just before, just after, my point is it is poor judgment either way.

 

[Otis]

Just you said 'when someone's about to shoot' BSB!

I just feel it worse after the player has hit the ball.

This happened at a kids game week before. There was a full on Brawl with 21 kids involved as one of the opposition parents was reffing the game and did it to stop his sons side conceding an equaliser. Not nice at any level of the game.

Shocking.

We had a game when we were under 14's (was the day of the rugby World Cup quarter final England v Wales in 2003 as the ref one of their parents was listening to it while commentating headphones in all game) 35 minute halves were 3-2 up he played 14 minutes injury time not 1 stoppage 2nd half our parents were going nuts he just ignored it with a smirk on his face we broke away made it 4-2 he blew up straight away.

Technically if time is up the referee has done nothing wrong, however most referees are taught not to whistle when a clear scoring opportunity presents to avoid this sort of controversy

But then if he has blown at that exact second after he has shot, he had better hope that is the exact time due..

Gives the impression he wasn't even watching the game
