I’ve wanted this arrangement for many seasons, as in Rugby Union. It shouldn’t be left to the ref who has other distractions. They wander over to purportedly injured players, then later if and when they see fit, they stop the watch. Whilst stoppage time goals seem to lead to a wildly different amounts of additional added time. Go a goal down against a Dyche, Warnock or Pulis team, and every possibly technique is employed to maximise the time the ball isn’t in play.
