This is where you need the man in the middle to referee the game with a bit of common sense, get a feel for the game and what’s going on. Unfortunately them days are long gone.Some of the (dark arts/time wasting/cheating call it what you will) is turning me away from football, but others seem to accept it’s part of the game now (and yes I know it’s been around forever, but not to this degree) And stopping a game a for someone to tie their shoelaces is what you’d expect to see in an under 7s match🙄

It's well known that that 23 championship clubs waste buckets of time when playing stoke, but when scfc are ahead I guess it's unimaginable that they resort to the very same thing...

Right, it all subjective but does seem more blatant when it's against your team. I try not to bitch and moan too much about that stuff since everyone is casting stones at some point.

The solution is quite simple. Have an official timekeeper. Once the ball goes out of play, stop the watch. Same for injuries, same for substitutions, goal scored etc. Have a big clock at the ground so it can be seen by everyone that the clock has been stopped.

It's antediluvian and ridiculous that the ref has to calculate the time added on.

The inconsistency isn't even on a per game basis. First half QPR were time wasting constantly, the first corner they wasted 30 seconds at least and then the lad tying his shoe laces for an age. Ref only puts up 2 minutes. Second half runs constantly apart from 5 or 6 sub breaks, and he finds 8 minutes. I don't believe there is any conspiracy against Stoke but when we weren't winning he put 1 minutes up, and when we were he found 8. Referee standards are at an all time low and we just seem to be seeing it get worse quickly as time goes on. That's what I thought loads of first half timewasting and very little added time I think the only rational answer is they add it to the second half subconsciously to make it up to allow a full halftime break albeit it should be added first half. It would be the first time ever but at this point it wouldn't surprise me. The refs are just woeful.

As said on the match thread, 10 substitutions, so that's 5 minutes straight away. That leaves 3 minutes for time wasting and what ever else. There wasn’t 10 substitution breaks though. 10 subs but double substitutions meant there were 6 breaks. Plus if we were 1-0 down this thread wouldn’t exist

Another minute would have constituted 20% of the second half. Where the hell was the 20% time of the game from?Perhaps if the refs stopped blowing up for petty tackles the game would be played in 90 minutes or close to it. Well played lads, just what we needed. Doesn't matter how, just the win will do. Just one minute added in the first half was a bit strange as well I think as QPR tried to slow everything down at every opportunity!

Fairly standard at the start of the season but it seemed the experiment had been quietly dropped. What gets me is QPR were doing all the timewasting in the first half. But then have the benefit of more time in the second to get an equaliser. Would love to know the time keeper’s rationale. I thought the first half board had said 4 minutes, which seemed about right, but it was only 1...outrageous after all their time wasting from the off.
