UnfairRepresent 02/14/21 9:20:33 PM #1:	The stoppage time makes no sense. The referee just randomly decides how much time to add without rhyme or reason and then randomly ends the game whenever he feels like it. The system of "Stop the clock everytime the ball is out of play, then the half ends once the ball is out of play after 45 minutes. Barring penalty or free kick." Used in every real sport is way better. It makes sense, is practical, consistent, easy to understand and allows for exciting finishes. I've seen soccerball games where the ball is out of play for like 12 minutes then the ref adds 2 for stoppage time and then ends it 90 seconds in when one team is attacking and it's just fucking dumb. Something like this couldn't happen in soccerball: https://youtu.be/soJXFjzwWVI And that's an absolute tavesty. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:950646339] in One thing ...

ShineboxPhil 02/14/21 9:27:08 PM #3:	i think what you have an issue with is what was described as "fergie time" like when the ref put up an excessive amount of time in the 99 champions league final and manchester united scored 2 goals to win it. --- YoJoe posted...

Sure But why is the ref randomly saying "Oh I think there was about 3 minutes of that I guess, lol. guess I'll end the match when I feel like it LULZ!"? No real sport does that. What they do is Stop the Clock for offside, fouls, injuries, disciplinary actions, or var reviews. Restart it when play resumes. Then after 45 minutes of play, once the ball is in touch. Then the half ends. That way it's 100% accurate, consistent and allows exciting finishes. I'm not knocking the concept of stopping the clock, I'm knocking the fucking stupid idea of random "Stoppage Time" and random ending of games at the whim of the referee who probably can't even spell Stoppage. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:950646711] in One thing ...

UnfairRepresent 02/14/21 9:41:08 PM #7:	ShineboxPhil posted... it adds a layer of excitement. No it doesn't It utterly removes excitement. Something like the Japan/South Africa finish I posted could not happen in soccer and that's awful notice how team play harder when down a goal during injury time. they take more chances trying to equalize the game and it's shown goal scoring goes up during that stage of play. And all this would be massively multiplied if that extra time was Legit and consistent. One fuck up and the game ends. That's what makes it exciting. Turning the game into a random innaccurate, inconsistent whim of referees does nothing but dull the game. You seriously think a sport with 12 minutes of stoppages in a game having 90 seconds of stoppage time at the whim of some guy without rhyme or reason is a good system?
