I’m not sure it says what you think it says
You’ve not done it have you?
I have had to do it in kids and adult games when refs haven’t turned up. Its a horrible job at lower levels. When you get to full time professional shithoursery levels its no wonder loads get missed.
There is the 4th official,they seem to ignore the problem and let them add the time hopefully but then we have the likes of Wilson, it's infuriating,we never seem to get the benifit apart from that added time,and of course they can potentially go up the other end and score, like Wilson away.

The appalling standard is ruining the game. I can’t remember the last time that a player (particularly GK) was booked for time wasting. The obligatory yellow used to be shown deep into stoppage time, but now we aren’t even getting that. Yesterday, Cooper knew exactly how to play the game, because the ref was too busy waddling toward the centre circle, facing the opposite direction.
I also make the the 4th game in a row that the keeper has feigned injury in order for the rest of the team to regroup and speak to the manager, because we were on top.
Add to that the yards gained with every throw or free kick, penalty appeals waved away and other bizarre decisions, summed him up. Not the worst by any stretch, but as someone mentioned above, when both sets of fans are bellowing ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ and ‘you’re not fit to referee’, it speaks volumes.
The time added on rule endorsed at the beginning of 23/24 (post World Cup) vanished pretty quickly. Can’t see the logic of reverting to how it was. Expected nothing less from a Chris Wilder team. Horrible, little toad.
You are right to be fair and if there is a slight delay regarding the keeper a “let’s go keeper” usual does the trick. If they then persist in time wasting a Caution should be administered for “Delaying the restart of play”
Are you serious? The last thing we want is VAR
Not sure I’ve ever seen a ref “intimated” during a game
Why not the indirect kick as stipulated in the rules?
Yes, I am. Sick of shit decisions- penalties given / not given incorrectly for starters. MVE getting clobbered - missed.
So less than an Hour played?
Regarding our corner's it's when the ref's happy that everyone's been inspected for not breaking any rules.
That’s great wonder how accurate just shows how sheff Utd pushed the gamesmanship and Bassette was right to keep niggling their centre back to fight fire with fire
That would be the stepped approach
so It’s the ref wasting time then.
I don’t get why a stepped approach, the rule is clear and unambiguous. Do it once and the keeper will start getting rid of the ball quicker.
That can't be right. Wilder said his players run around for him...
Cause it’s best to try and manage a game of 11v11 without injury or incident
Yep-initially it’s best to “manage” the game if that is possible. It can be a bit “jobs worth” to not communicate and just be a programmed robot, but by all means if that “management” approach isn’t working then it’s time to administer disciplinary action.
Isn’t it the very inconsistency that we complain of to not enforce a rule one minute, and then enforce it the next?
Still, absolute ridiculous their keeper didn’t get booked for wasting 7+ mins on his own
