I was reading this morning that it is an edict from FIFA to the 4th officials to monitor how much stoppage time there is so it can be added on at the end.
In principle, its a sensible idea however if a team time wastes all game and concedes a goal in the 85th minute, they then get the benefit of a lot more added time to try and equalise. That’s where referees should have some lee way to reduce added time that was wasted by the side who would now benefit from more added time
Hilarious handbags between Souness and Keane at half time
Argentina 1 - Saudi 0

1-1! Saudi equalise!
2-1 to Saudi! Holy shit! Great goal.
Deep into injury time. The Saudi 'keeper nearly killed one of his defenders
Complete accident but it did look nasty.
That’s a shocker.
