I don’t disagree about opposition time wasting, but the ball is still in play far more in our games than in other teams. It’s because there are less throws and goal kicks as we keep the ball most of the game.I’m also glad we don’t as I think it’s a glimpse into their inner psyche that reveals weakness.
In games where Arsenal are trailing or level for long periods, as they have been in some of the recent ones where famous last minute goals clinched them back to back titles, they aren’t rolling around so much and so the quarter of an hour or so that’s added on is unjustified.
We do ok in spite of the fourth official not adding on the correct amount of time. How many times at home during recent seasons when from the first min to the last it’s been a workshop in how to waste time by the opposition keeper have we moaned incredulously when only 4 or 5 mins of added time is put up at the end ?
I didn’t think that time taken with throw ins and goal kicks was factored in to added time anyhow. It just seems to be at the whim of whichever clown is in charge of it on any given week.I don’t disagree about opposition time wasting, but the ball is still in play far more in our games than in other teams.

Therefore we get less injury time.
As you suggest, it’s at the ref’s discretion, hence inconsistencies happen.I didn’t think that time taken with throw ins and goal kicks was factored in to added time anyhow. It just seems to be at the whim of whichever clown is in charge of it on any given week.
I’d love them to introduce a stop the clock rugby style system
I don't.I've been saying on here for years that kavanagh is a liverpool fan.
Maybe people will believe me now.
No one can defend what happened today. Some will try, even on here but it was a total disgrace.
The referee today was clueless, Please don't try and say VAR is not in full control of the game, Because the Referee blew his whistle when Newcastle thought they had won a Pen for handball, For one dark moment, I thought here we go, He's going to the monitor and VAR was going to cheat us out of the 3 points.
They would ball’s that up as well, they are so incompetent.I’d love them to introduce a stop the clock rugby style system
Our ground would be properly empty for last 20 minutes..those bloody trams! / Car park rush... it will be like an old central league game if we ended up playing for 2.5 hours..i think thats the average for 90 mins of football when the ball's play - how many injuries would there be - need a squad of 50!I didn’t think that time taken with throw ins and goal kicks was factored in to added time anyhow.

I did think that but thought it was in our half, must’ve been a couple too many beers deepPretty sure it was for offside.
Must have come back from an offside position, Walker, wasn’t in the field of view when the ball was played so couldn’t tell whether it was correct or not.I did think that but thought it was in our half, must’ve been a couple too many beers deep
Took them about a minute to take a free kick around 88 mins, not one wave from the whistling one, Eddie would have been carded....throw-ins, ball going through 3 sets of hands etc.Felt like they were time wasting a fair bit towards the end. Can’t recall many games recently where only three minutes were added at the end, unless one team are comfortably ahead.
So at 2-2 Newcastle were camped in their box and hanging on for grim death, so 3 minutes injury time gets added
I was laughing my head off when we got the late winner, too late to add more time on you fucking cheats
He fucking did though. 3 became 4 and a half. We clearly get reffed differently to everyone else, and not in a good waySo at 2-2 Newcastle were camped in their box and hanging on for grim death, so 3 minutes injury time gets added
