once set, stick to it, no matter it's +5' or +10'. Play the stoppage given, and blow the whistle at the given mark.

Agree with Sterling's red. No idea where that came from.


That's not the point to have a final countdown

Stoppage time is added so that the teams are playing for an actual 90 minutes. If in the 91" a penalty is called, that will take at least 2 minutes to set up, argue against and then take. So 2 more should be added to the original stoppage time.

I'm not sure you understand why they add stoppage time. Still, adding an extra 5-6 is a bit extreme, but I've seen 4 very justly been added before due to slow subs and silly time wasting.


It can be extended beyond

But I fail to see how you can have 5 minutes turn into nearly 11. If there's clear time wasting in the 5' and/or stoppage for injury, you add that onto the +5 and then no more.

That said, it's still up to the referee. And like I said above, it is excessive in the PL.


There was obvious time wasting and a (fake) injury during

the five minutes. That' how five turned into seven. Then there was the goal celebration (fans coming on to the field and being dealt with by police). That's how seven turned into eleven.


That is exactly how it happened. More time added during

added time due to shenanigans. Not evil and cruel, rather cynical and unsporting.


Time added for Pep's whining.

I think he whined longer than any actual delay.


Stoppage time is a minimum.

wcnitz or other refs can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that it is a minimum. Additional time can be added for things that happen in stoppage. Most of the time, there isn't anything big enough to add too much time. This match was slightly different.

That being said, he should've stuck to the time just to fist Pep for being an ass. I was hoping Eddie Howe was going to punch the petulance out of him.
