Stoppage Time

[Mark]

It's working great so far as it's already cut down on the feigning injuries, kicking/throwing the ball in the opposite direction for free kicks, or just trying to break the game up every 2/3 minutes. Infact the only thing I can remember was a few slow walks over to corners in the first half by Coventry, but Maddison did that every time we had one so 🤷‍♂️

[lcfc_forever]

Psychologically going to take some getting used to.

 

Before once you got to 90 mins, you think we're almost there.

 

Now the 90th minute is more like the 80th minute. It was tough having such a long injury time, but as we see it more and more, people will adapt.

 

Given there is so much injury time now, a far neater solution is similar to rugby and just pause the clock when the referee stops his watch. I guess the only issue there is how do you display it in less advanced grounds? 

[UniFox21]

This division is going to be a long, long year if we're having 100 minute matches. 

[Unabomber]

I get the new rules but 9 mins today? What if there has actually been some proper delays in game. We would’ve had 15 odd mins. 

[drew]

Problem is people now know when the game is going to end so pile out and block the views for some, I’m not affected but I think a few people will get fed up this season

[iancognito]

1 min in the first half and 9 in the 2nd was a bit odd. 3 of their subs came on together and there was barely a minute from goals to restarts. A seven goal thriller with 5 subs each will be finishing after 5 o'clock

[Mushtaq]

One thing I don’t understand - why is the time almost all added at the end of the second half?  1 minute in first half, 9 in second?  Or was that a bit of an anomaly and that really how much is lost through 3 goals and several substitutions?  Coz there was very little else, the game flowed with very little time wasting and no lengthy stoppages for injuries I can recall. If this was 9 minutes games in the Premier League with VAR are going to go on for ever.

I’m used to us conceding in the dying minutes so I hope that era is dead and buried!

How about scoring at the end, to be fair it came up as nine minutes today, l wasn't think that.

[FoxinNotts]

Gonna cause absolute havoc this

[sdb]

I love this new rule, but 9 mins was bizarre. Surely we'll be seeing 15-20 mins at times if today was 9 mins. I barely recall a stoppage other than the goals and subs, which should be, what, 6 max?

Most teams have a clock on the score board don’t they ?

 

I guess you mean one that can be stopped ?

 

Now they do show the injury time period too as part of the new guidelines.

Brilliant development that is. Stops the ref making up the time as they go along!

[Will1981]

1 min per goal and 1 min per sub, commentaters on my stream said.

I'm all for this but it still gives you a chance to time waste.

If a team is under a lot of pressure then going down "injured" to break the momentum and give everyone a breather and still get the extra 5/6 minutes added on later.

It can still be played as you said to switch the time when momentum is different, but its better than what we had before.

That surprised me TBH, I take it Vicarage Road did the same yesterday then.

Remember added tine shown is still a minimum

Why is that an issue?

[RowlattsFox]

I understand if it's actual time wasting but none of that really went on today. Even when Coventry were winning, not to an extreme level anyway.

Which makes sense if the subs are separate, not when 3 have come on at once 

[adam]

Far too much stoppage time in that second half. Don't even think the physio came on.

Don't think we need to go as extreme as we did today. 4 minutes would of been fine.

exactly. if it’s meant to stop time wasting but they chuck it on even when it’s not happening than it’s not going to achieve anything

It is, but at 9 mins on the clock with the crowd pressure, not many refs will drag it on for 2-3 minutes more.

[snoopy87]

They took an age to get back for the restart after their goal. From the ball hitting the net to kicking off, you probably lost over 2 minutes. Wasn't overly surprised to see 9 myself

Cos there wasn’t anything of note and we still got 9 mins. Seems to have gone from one extreme to another. I’m all for adding time on for time wasting etc but I saw none really today, or long injury delays and only 3 goals.

Agreed. Coventry made a sub during 9 mins and it took 45 seconds for ball to be in play again and ref didn’t add that on unless you count telling Dennis to hurry up and take throw in at the end then blowing as soon as he did.  

[Buzzard]

not complaining as more stoppage time = more minutes per £!

 

regardless, that was probably the most free flowing game I can remember in ages. don't think the physio came once during the game? as others have said - if that was worth 9 minutes, we could easily be looking at 20 minutes in other games.
