It is communicated to the fourth official who will hold up a sign letting everyone know how much extra time is added. But again, that's not the official time. The players and coaches can ask the center official how much time is left any time they want.

if you're on defense, you know the whistle isn't going to be blown until you clear the ball out of the area so it's not really important how many exact seconds are left.


So the game won't end until there's a cleared ball? So an offensive team could keep pressing and the game would continue even if it was technically over?

If a team has the ball in a dangerous area as time expires, usually the ref won't blow the whistle until the defense gets a stop (which is usually about a second later). Kinda like football, where play continues until it's dead, even after the clock runs out.

Not necessarily, the attacking team has to make an effort at goal. If the ref deems that the attack has stalled, regardless of the ball being cleared, he'll blow the whistle for full time. Sometimes, a ref won't even allow a corner to be taken, if the attacking team has gone over the allotted stoppage time.

Makes sense. Still don't like the massive amount of control one person has over the game. But that seems like an issue a lot of people, even here, have.

You are correct. Time just usually isn't an issue

Referee power is worse in places like Spain where they don't really bother punishing people if the ref didn't see it, e.g., both parties went unpunished here

I'd just hope I was playing the same time each game? Seems pretty logical.


Ok lets say player x for team y gets a broken leg from a hard tackle. It may take 3-5 minutes to get him off the field and his replacement on. This does not happen every game, but can you not see how this might effect the time being kept? You need the team physios, the stretcher team etc to get him off the field. Not every injury is as severe but whenever a head injury might be in play, soccer like every other major sport errs on the side of caution. so there is more stoppage time. Will it be the same every game, no. The sooner you grasp it, the easier it will be, unless you are arguing for the sake of arguing like others have said.

Games are 90 minutes, correct? The stoppage is supposed to account for delays in the game such as an injury, no?

Huh?

Game is 90 minutes.

During that 90 minutes there's:

- 2 minute injury
- 4 minutes of various other stoppages

Stoppage time is 6 minutes, right?

I understand that stoppage isn't the same in each game. But it should be an accurate reflection of the stoppages that did occur in the previous 90 minutes.

I'm not. I'm confused as to what he said was anything different than we were already clear on?

He copied my "I'd hope I would be playing the same time for each game." Post, which I thought was clear in that I hoped each game would last 90 minutes.

Yes. There's 90 minutes of play. What did you think the stoppage time was for?

To put it another way. Stoppage time only exists to the viewers.

To ensure each game was 90 minutes of actual play. As I said in the post he quoted me in...

Oh. I mean I understand what it's for my only issue was with the sole official having an arbitrary decision on how long the game should last. But we've cleared that up already.

Sorry, we're going full circle then

Here's an example of an odd added time that reflects an injury (4 minutes in the first half for a broken leg):
