The ref pointed at his watch several times in the first half to indicate he was adding the time on but then the board went up with just 4 minutes added. Should have easily been 8-10. Their keeper had the trainer on (couple of mins there) plus they had two players go down from a corner. And the goal celebration was probably another two minutes as they know refs have been told this season to add on 30 seconds for goal celebrations and they won’t book half the team for having a little huddle while the other team are waiting to kick off.
It always goes unpunished. Nowhere near the time wasted added back on and nowhere near enough yellow cards dished out for it. If Rice plays like that every week he should have set some record for yellow cards in a season by now.
People moaned about the added time in the World Cup when we were regularly seeing 10+ minutes added half but with those Arsenal tactics it should be the case. Maybe they could increase the time as well so if a team wastes 2 minutes then they add on 4 because of it.
I was pretty sure that the yellow card for time-wasting was during injury time.
Taylor blew up bang on the added 4 minutes, so maybe I was mistaken.
