Why does stoppage time still exist? – Part 2

26/09/2019/in Changes to the game /by Liam Bonney

Goal Line Technology and VAR have both been introduce in recent years to the game of football. Goal line technology has come in extremely smoothly and takes all but a second to give the referee an outcome. VAR sigh VAR on the other hand has caused a major change in the game in terms of result, flow and time. In some instances, the whole process to go stop the game, get checked, tell the ref to look at it, he checks it and then ultimately decides on what course of action to take. If that action is a penalty, then you have to add the time to set up and take the penalty into the equation as well. This process can take up to 5 minutes sometimes longer to fully complete. This has had a massive effect on added times. We are now regularly seeing added times exceeding the 5-minute mark as a result. If they are going to be so concerned with the correct decision being made, they should be more concerned with the correct time being shown as well.

It is no secret that added time is inaccurate at the best of times. However, until I googled it, I never realised just how inaccurate it really was. According to one study of the 2018 World Cup the expected added time was around double the actual added time given. There was 1 game where the difference between expected and actual added time exceeded 13 minutes. 13 minutes

!!! Players have scored hattricks in under 3!!! Now in fairness that game did finish 5 – 2 to Belgium so there was a lot of action, lots of goals and lots of stoppages.

However, what if it was your team in a big final or big game and you found out that there was still supposed to be an extra 5 – 10 mins left for your team to win or draw. But because the time wasn’t kept properly, they lost. I know I would feel hard done by.

Just for anyone elses own interest this is the site where I found the study

We Timed Every Game. World Cup Stoppage Time Is Wildly Inaccurate.

These are of course just my opinions and my thoughts that I have had about football Let me know what you think by commenting or mesaging me one way or another.

I will start by defining this for anyone who does not know what it is. Stoppage, Injury or added time is the time added on by the referee at the end of each half. It is supposed to compensate for things like the ball going out of play, the time it takes to set up set-piece situations, substitutions and injuries. Not to be confused with “Extra time”. Extra time is used in cup competitions and adds an additional 2 halves of 15 minutes each to the end of a game if it cannot be decided in regulation.

Anyways back to the point. Why do we still have stoppage time? In an age where there was no stopwatches and the referee had to estimate how much time was left it makes sense. I wouldn’t expect a referee without a stopwatch to be able to correctly estimate and account for stoppages in play. However, we live in the present day. Most people have a watch that has a stopwatch function, and if they don’t they more than likely have a phone that can do it. Don’t get me wrong I am not saying that I want referees to run around with a phone instead of watch, that’s not what I am saying.

But referees should have a stopwatch on their wrist if not one in their pocket (if they are old school). Why not whenever the ball goes out of play, or play is stopped the clock stops too. If we are going to introduce large changes such as Goal Line Tech and VAR in order to achieve the correct result why is no one talking about stoppage time?
