Incompetent officials (16 replies)

I'm not on about decisions today, but just the general inability of referees to identify timewasting and add on the correct time.

In the second half, there were 6 substituions. The referees are instructed to add 30 seconds on per sub. 2 of the Reading subs walked from one side of the pitch as slow as possible to the other side, and not once did the ref walk over and encourage him to step it up and jog off.

McShane went down twice requiring treatement, once right next to the touchline after he decided to sit down rather than walk off. Moore decided to sit down and require treatment which took AT LEAST 3 minutes, and they took at least 2 minutes to restart from both goals.

Yet this useless bellend decided to add 4 minutes on. 4 minutes. Which is exactly what Reading want, and is exactly why teams will continue to waste time.

We need to introduce a rule wherein there needs to be at least 30 minutes per half of the ball in play. When the ball goes out, stop the clock, take as long as you want because it makes no difference, because week after week after week, we are seeing teams waste time and manipulate incompetent referees
