it's a sort of unwritten guide that's developed over the years that you only add 1 or 2 minutes(bar a serious injury) in the 1st half but you make sure you're more tight on your time keeping in the 2nd half and make more effort to spot time wasting by a team.
It's not great I suppose but that's just how it is really. It isn't consistant but if we're pedantic about it we might as well start using stop clocks rather than added time.
It certainly seems that way, which is no good when you're chasing the game in the first half but holding on in the second! Like I said, the refs would get a fairer deal if they were consistent in their decisions and secret rules we don't know about!!
