Great ain't it! 

Head of refs, Collina, said we asked the 4th officials to keep track of lost time in Russia and it sort of worked, we have asked them to be more accurate this time around" roughly translated. 

Think it's great, been a long time advocate of taking timekeeping away from refs as would stop the sheff utd's of this world with their antics. 

Hope it finds its way into domestic football

Only if it does actually stop teams doing it, some might consider that disrupting the flow of the game is still worth it. If it doesn't actually reduce the time wasting we could all be in the ground until 17:30 on a Saturday, or gone 10pm on a weekday.

Keepers injury? 

8 goals, god knows how many subs

Yea that was first half and was 14 minutes

Subs is a fair point, still never seen a total of 24 minutes added to a game before I don't think - except where there has been someone on the pitch or trouble or something

Here is Collina 'explanation

You haven't seen it before because refs just don't add on the correct time lost!

Chairman of Fifa's referees committee Pierluigi Collina confirmed last week that fourth officials had been instructed to keep track of time lost during the game during the tournament in Qatar, something they had also tried to do at the previous World Cup in Russia in 2018.

"In Russia, we tried to be more accurate in compensating for time lost during games and that's why you saw six, seven or even eight minutes added on," he told reporters at a pre-tournament briefing.

"Think about it: if you have three goals in a half, you'll probably lose four or five minutes in total to celebrations and the restart."

The result of this new approach was a number of records being broken

Disrupting the flow of the game will never stop, we've seen games with us on top and getting momentum teams find ways of disrupting things. Fouls, injuries etc, etc just to stop the flow and stop momentum, I do think it's a tactic here to stay.
I agree about time wasting, the average "ball in play" was about 54 minutes last year, if they did a Rugby version your half 5 finish wouldn't be far off.
I did like the proposal of 60 minutes of actual "Ball in play" time that was going around, and having a clock on that. It could stop the time wasting we all hate.

It is a good idea and hopefully a step in the right direction to minimise time wasting and only need time added for genuine injuries etc. 

If lots of time is added on for our home games it might cause a problem for people in time restricted car parking areas which people will need to allow for!

It makes sense, I think I like it... wait til we're on the receiving end of a critical 99th minute goal though

I remember it I think when there was a serious on-pitch injury v Brentford late 2000 but yes it's really rare.

I noticed how long it's been.

It would give time-wastimg sides less.opportunity to hide for one.

Until the time wasting side actually benefit! Concede in the 90th minute, then get a goal in all the time added on for their time wasting! 

Ideally the officials would identify time wasting extra time separately and be able to “withdraw” it in that situation, but that’s probably asking too much ?

That's a bit of a warped argument in all fairness, defend better!

Ironically that can happen yes.

How in the hell did they get an extra 6mins! on top of the 8 mins of added time at the end of the Argentina Saudi game? it looked at one point like they were going to play all night until Argentina equalised.

Bad injury to the Saudi CB during injury time.

Did you miss the injury to the Saudi player?
