I`ve just picked this up from the FAIt’s always announced as a minimum of X mins Ref indicated that he was noting the time taken for the throwin just before There was nothing excessive
Why is there so much stoppage time?
Essentially, there has been a change to how additional time will be calculated — in accordance with IFAB guidelines — to increase 'effective playing time'. IFAB's Law 7 states that allowance is made by the referee in each half for all playing time lost through: substitutions. assessment and/or removal of injured
Based on that perhaps (and I was one also stating it) that maybe the "old" 30 second ruling has been thrown out of the window completely ??
