Injury Time

[Bordeauxclaret]

Now tonight didn’t really matter in the long run, I don’t think we’d have scored another two if he’d put 180 minutes up, but... are there any rules or guidelines about how injury time is calculated or are refs free to make it up?

In that second half we had two goals, five subs, 3-4 injuries plus a keeper booked for time wasting and he gives 4 minutes.
You usually get three if nothings really happened.

Said the same thing - 4 minutes was ridiculous.
The referee was simply grandstanding booking their keeper for time wasting.
He let them get away with murder all night long and to then add on just 4 minutes was the icing on the f-uckwitts cake.

Must admit I expected 5 or over , there were a few injuries and keeper even got booked for time wasting it just shows sometimes it pays to waste time

[ClaretTony]

English referees allow far more added time than refs in other countries 0 - was as expected I think tonight

Agreed, 2 x 30 minute halves stopping the clock every time the ball goes out! Where do I sign?!

[DCWat]

He actually played five - stopping the watch during the injury time. I do agree it should have been more than four Put up though.

Yip, another 30mins and we would of lost by more. It where the hell he got 4 minutes from is beyond me. Otherwise, one of the best refs we have had.

[Ric_C]

We didn’t lose. Did you stop till the end?

[Bordeauxclaret]

So are there any rules / guildlines or is it completely random?
