Law 5
The referee:

enforces the Laws of the Game

controls the match in cooperation with the other match officials

acts as timekeeper, keeps a record of the match and provides the appropriate authorities with a match report, including information on disciplinary action and any other incidents that occurred before, during or after the match

supervises and/or indicates the restart of play

Law 7
The fourth official indicates the minimum additional time decided by the referee at the end of the final minute of each half. The additional time may be increased by the referee but not reduced.

What are you going on about???The ref is the official timekeeper, he keeps time, he stops his watch when he deems the ball to be dead. The ref literally tells the 4th official how much time he is adding on.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
no he doesnt. the time that is shown up on the boards isnt one that the ref shouts over or tells the 4th official to put up. Its what is being suggested to him. The ref may decide to agree with that or not depending on how he sees it.

Like I said at the beginning the amount of time spent in play stat is never something that is put forward when working out the time added on.

Honestly reading that back...

A time keeping official suggests to the ref how much time to add on based on his official timings.
However, the ref doesn't take that figure as anything more than a suggestion and picks a time he feels is right.
Then the ref doesn't even tell the 4th official how much time, the 4th official then guesses what is to be added and holds up a number.

Those watches on a refs wrist are just for show...

======
No, the amount of stoppages does that. But the amount the ball is in play gives a good indication to whether the ref has got the injury time correct. The fact the ball was in play far more than the average and more than any other half of football strongly suggests the ref got the stoppage time right.

The watch is certainly not used for adding up the time that the game was stopped for. They have never considered that.

yes boxing thread , the thread in the boxing section, the one you made a claim on and were educated.

Technically there is no science to it ... there is a time keeping official that tallies up, stoppages due to subs, injuries and other incidents that occur.

They then suggest to the match day ref and he uses that as guidance, if he feels that it should be longer he makes it longer and vice versa. ultimately its decided by the ref and he uses his experience of that match and the time suggested to him to decide.

the time that is shown up on the boards isnt one that the ref shouts over or tells the 4th official to put up. Its what is being suggested to him. The ref may decide to agree with that or not depending on how he sees it.

If there was a Time Keeping Official I bet they'd be a right NERD

Like the scorer in cricket

You were wrong there as well
Dubois is obliged to take the rematch. It is in the contract.

posted on 23/9/24

so where does that say that 4th official just guesses the time and puts it up on the board?

.... So you think that the ref shouts over to the 4th official "put up 9 mins" .... is that what your saying?

They are. If AJ wants a rematch then Dubois has to take it. It is in the contract.

Paella Vinnie Jones got what his cheating deserved. Karma came for him quickAny news on how long Karma will keep Rodri out for?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well lets do the maths. 45 mins to cook and 45 to cool, so 90 mins for Paella........

posted on 23/9/24

That is exactly what I said

It is literally an obligation, that is what is in the contract. If you default that obligation you get punished.
