I think games rarely should have 5/6+ minutes added on time. From a refereeing perspective "nothing good can come in the 6th minute of added on time" to quote several top referees ive heard speak on this issue.
1 minute for first half and at max about 3 minutes in the second bar extreme circumstances

Let's address the bit where you quote "several top referees" and their apparent fear of the 6th minute. What exactly does "nothing good can come in the 6th minute mean? Is it somehow cursed and cannot be allowed because of the untold havoc that might ensue. Let's just say you are trailing by two points and you score a goal in the dreaded 6th minute to win, well I'd imagine you would think that a pretty good thing that the 6th minute had been played as opposed to having some eejit decide that you have a preconceived notion as to what amount of injury time should be the norm as is the premise of your post.
You also for some unknown reason are suggesting that 1minute be allocated in the first half but the second have can have a bit more.This is even dafter than just going with the current 2 minute balony and makes no sense whatsoever. Thirdly, what are extreme circumstances ? I presume you would consider a bad injury to fall into this category where play is held up for a considerable amount of time. This does occur but how often have we still only had 2-3 minutes added on when there was at least that amount of time taken up treating the player. If you start out as is the case currently and would continue under your "top referees" suggestion, then you are telling managers that this is what you can expect too be added so plan to run the clock down accordingly and we won't penalise you no matter what shenanigans you pull. REDICIOULOUS !

Tis an area of the game that has long been neglected.Surely the timekeeping should be for someone else to look after and the introduction of the clock being stopped and started as in rugby would be a step in the right direction. At the minute its a bit of a joke.

Slly your put down of Ormondbannerman was 1 of the finest I've seen Not rude Not nasty Just right to the point According to him what good could come out of 5/6+ minutes plus of added time Tell that to Mayo after they lost to Dublim by a point after 3 minutes of added time that could easily have been 6 minutes If the time was wasted Add it on

Don't see the argument against addressing this to be honest.Its a joke at this stage and could easily be sorted if a few small changes were made.

REDICIOULOUS !What's ridiculous(sic) about having a general amount of added on time. You shouldn't have to stop your watch when refereeing for every little thing and adding time for every sub that comes on. Why?
I used the number 6 as an example as in nothing good can occur in 6th minute of injury time I could also have used 8th/9th/10th minute. You took that literally. Oh dear!!!!
You don't have to have and you don't need long amounts of injury time bar exceptional cases. Extreme circumstances are very long delays due to very serious injury or something out of the ordinary.

What's ridiculous(sic) about having a general amount of added on time.
I love the pompousness of your '(sic)', especially as you clearly have no idea what it means. To save any future embarrassment, here is the definition "(sic) (with square-brackets usually) is an abbreviation of 'sic erat scriptum' which is Latin for 'thus it had been written', meaning that the quote prior was transcribed as it was found in the original source, complete with errors". Now had you typed "Redicioulous (sic)" you would have come across as simply pompous, but typing "ridiculous(sic)" shows you to be both pompous and incorrect.
On the matter of nothing good can happen in the 6th minute of injury time, any referee who makes such a statement just shows they do not have the courage to apply the rules of the game for fear of the consequences, I am not sure these are the people who should be listened to on this matter.

Soma (UK) - Posts:1278 - 03/02/2016 12:52:37How can you call be pompous/arrogant etc when you DELIBERATELY spell my name incorrectly to antagonise me? That is completely hypocritical.
My point was that only in very rare occasions do games need a lot of injury time. In majority of games one minute and two minutes is all that's needed as it creates unnecessary hassle otherwise and you shouldn't have to be adding up the number of subs made by each side etc to add up what is and what isn't the correct amount of injury time to be played.

Call me a snob but I would always go for pomposity over pompousness.

Hmm a few gripes at Cluxton

Yet it took Kerry 2 minutes & 6 seconds (most of that in stoppage time) to tap over their last point from a close range free
