       Leyton Orient v Hartlepool

       I see on the BBC site that there are suggestions that the ref
       forgot to add on 4 mins of injury time at the end if the 1st
       half so tagged them into the start if the 2nd! Can you do this
       in law??
       Surprisingly the ref was Alan Young!

       I too have read a report that the referee brought the players
       back after the half time break for four minutes play. Then blew
       his whistle and the teams changed ends and started the second
       half. I find it difficult to give credence to such a story at a
       junior amateur level let alone in the EFL. Why on earth
       didn't one of the ARs or 4th say at the end of the first
       half " you've forgotten to add on time" which presumably was
       shown on the boards ? The whole thing does sound very suspect.
       If true, however, then it displays such a staggering
       incompetence that this referee should not be allowed to control
       a professional football match again for a very long time....and
       seeing that the referee in question is Alan Young that will be
       no loss to professional football.
       I shall wait to see if the reported events are confirmed.

       If this is indeed the case, it is inexcusable! Getting decisions
       wrong is one thing, but for all 4 officials to allow this to
       happen is so unbelievably poor!

       Peter Walton said they were correct to play the added time but
       as the referee is sole judge of time, how do you end up playing
       that time after half time?
       How did they restart??
       Then to blow up, swap ends and have 2nd half kick off?
       Surely mass hysteria, cannot be true 😆😆😆

       Surprised no official picked up on it, it’s hardly something
       hard to miss

       Sth very similar happened to Pol van Boekal in the last few
       years, I recall.
       From what I read, everything in this case was completed
       according to the LotG - halftime is required to be a maximum of
       fifteen minutes, and in this case Young and team obviously just
       played a nominal minute or so while the teams changed ends.
       To be honest, some of these comments are way too harsh IMO -
       sh*t happens, and I'd sooner criticise a referee if he
       showed a deficient foul recognition, disciplinary control, soft
       skills etc. It seems that some people are a bit too happy to
       criticise because it is *this* particular referee, which is a
       bit sad IMO.

       Had you see Alan Young so comprehensively lose control and put
       in just about one of the worst performances I have ever seen in
       over fifty years of watching professional football, as I did at
       Portman Road, then you would understand why his reputation is
       totally deserved. Harsh? I don't think so, accurate is more
       like it.

       It should not have happened so if he played the 4 mins added
       time in the second half, that is wrong in law.  Extract from Law
       7 states:
       "The Referee must [b]not compensate for a timekeeping error
       during the first half by changing the length of the second
       half[/b]".
       Case closed.
