Additional time

[Gray]

Thirteen minutes just added at the end of the Sunderland v Ipswich match. I think I might be taking a sleeping bag to matches this season.

13 minutes at the SOL this evening.

Lots and lots of people are bemoaning the fact that 'weaker' teams can exploit this for 10 mins injury time. Well, nothing makes injury time special apart from inside your head, and maybe a little bit more fatigue. Forget the 90th min is the last minute and play as if there's 100. New game management tactics will creep in, second halves will likely be slower.

Precisely, people think that because it's in 'added time' and not 'normal time', Luton Town are going to turn into fucking swashbuckling Brazil 1970 in the last 10 minutes of the game. It's fucking ridiculous. Luton will get fucked repeatedly in added time, like all lesser teams do. The more added time, the more they will be fucked.

And they'll probably already be 4-0 down anyway.

It's a genuine issue if we go into the latter stages of the Champions League and we've spend the whole season playing 105 minute games compared to 95 for our opponents from other leagues.

But let's be honest, in the league it'll favour us more than punish us. No doubt there'll be certain big games where they'll try and fuck us over though.

True enough.

We may need to rethink sub timings too, if you take someone off at 60 mins then they miss practically a regular full half of the match.

I think maybe they should limit the amount that can be added on to 10 minutes per half max. Its rare that wouldn't be enough.

8,9, 10mins won’t be added when we’re 4 or 5 nil up that’s for sure.

Or 1 or 2 down.

Whilst Kyle was being treated the.commentary team.said there will be another 6.additional.minutes on top , how do they know and who is timekeeping ?

They clashed heads around 90 minutes and he said that at around 96 minutes.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Having seen the ref give 12 minutes in the cup final today I have only one conclusion.

This will be yet another way to attempt to manipulate results.

If they are using this rule to stop time wasting how are they going to deal with teams taking the ball to the corner flag over and over again, the only reason teams do this is to run the clock down (WASTE TIME).

 

[abu13]

For what it's worth most of these new rules will have been fucked off by the start of September.
