...and it's always open to the ref to just add on a bit more time if teams waste time

I've never really understood why refs don't do this more (and, crucially, tell teams they are doing it). It shouldn't be too hard to massively reduce the incentives to time-waste, really. ("You do something that wastes 30 seconds, I'll add on a minute.")

        The game lasts 90 minutes the ref can't randomly add additional time. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Oct 18, 14:06:50
        
        but he can for time wasting (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Oct 18, 14:11:07
        
        No he just adds on the time that was wasted so the game should still be 90 minutes. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Oct 18, 14:11:57

        point is, the ref wouldn't actually have to do it (NCFC) - Bertie Russell, Oct 18, 14:29:29
        
        That's how it's suppose to work now. Are you suggesting the ref "pretends" to add on time! (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Oct 18, 14:42:22
        
        There’s nothing wrong with how the rules are now (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 18, 17:26:25
