I'm not complaining, obviously, but just three minutes? Really?

As in rugby - Stop the clock
Similar first half against Sheffield United. 2 lengthy vars and 2 injuries but the minutes added on* didn’t seem to reflect this. Is there anything in the protocol for VAR? Do they add time on for this? Or is it refs discretion like substitutions? Given they have pushed the idea the game doesn’t get interrupted significantly I presume there isn’t anything in writing otherwise it would be contradictory.
* can’t recall what it was exactly but me and my friend felt it didn’t reflect all the delays.

There was ONE minute added on for all you listed in that first half. It was absolutely ridiculous.
I wonder how much of it was a case of recognising the game was over as a contest, bournemouth were down to ten men due to an injury, we'd already made our three 'let's save these guys for the next game' substitutions, suggesting neither team would really complain. Just get it over with.

I genuinely think they forgot to add on the VAR time. It should have been bare minimum of 5 and probably 6 mins added time.

I was expecting five, but wouldn't have been surprised with six.
'One of'?
**** me. One of the toe jam threads. One of the Readers Wives threads. Sometimes I wonder why I bother getting up in the morning, I really do.
Time we swapped to thirty minutes each way - that is thirty minutes with the ball in play - big clock(s) in the stadium electronically linked to the fourth official's watch.
Ball goes out of play, or play is stopped, he stops his watch. It's not as if he's got anything else worthwhile to do!

3 minutes added time.
Further proof just how incompetent the officials who look after our game are.
Every week they wing it in the most amateur fashion imaginable. It's a tough job. I've done it. But our current crop make it look much harder than it actually is

If they added on the real amount of time wasted making VAR decisions, it would make the length of the delays clearly apparent. That is not palatable for them as it would give the anti VAR lobby more ammo.
Better for them for the ref to fudge it and add the standard 1 minute first half, 4 minutes second half.
The biggest issue is the length of time being wasted when checking offsides by drawing lines. Scrap that, do it by VAR but by eye only, problem solved.

Mr Friend handed Mourhino seven extra minutes to win the game.
