       Being serious for a moment, if you are ever struggling and need
       some support please feel free to DM me or email me via the site.
       That goes for any of our members on here - there will always be
       MH support available to you via this site.

       To be fair both keepers were at it , after Luton’s final attack
       the clock hit 90 plus 9  exactly , as the afcb keeper caught the
       ball , he then fell on it ,laid there stood up waved a bit and
       finally released the ball at 90 plus 09:34.  So it works both
       ways , Sam added it all on and played appropriate stoppage time.

       But there's a big difference here, is there not? A goalie with
       the ball in his hands cannot be challenged, whereas a player
       shepherding the
       Oh dear, so now they're adding time on for incidents while the
       ball is in play. I suppose that's easier than enforcing the Law.
       Does that mean they can add on time for forwards shepherding the
       ball to the corner flag near the end ? The back pass rule,
       changed way back, was the biggest single change to enhance the
       game. Now a very simple and beneficial change doesn't even
       require a Law amendment. Enforce the Law as prescribed.
       Sounds like a wonderful occasion and glad the referee
       contributed.

       Big difference is surely that a goalie with the ball in his
       hands cannot be challenged for the ball, whereas a player
       shepherding the ball near the corner flag most certainly can.
       Yes, enforce the Laws but, as we've found out a few times this
       season at Crewe Alex, adding on time can be as big a deterrent
       for time wasting.

       There's no basis in the LOTG for adding time on whilst the ball
       is in play. You're right to say that of course a goalkeeper
       can't be challenged whilst holding the ball in their hands which
       is why the laws specify a time limit for that whereas that's not
       the case for keeping the ball in the corner etc. I'm sure any
       other SG1/SG2/NL referee would also have decided not to award an
       IDFK so it is not specific to this game. But if I'm reading it
       right then I'd certainly rather have had an IDFK in the
       opponent's penalty area in the 99th minute than anything else!
       It will be interesting to see what impact IFAB's trial has on
       enforcement - proposal is for time limit to increase from 6 to 8
       seconds and attacking team to get corner/throw-in (different
       trials will use different system I think) rather than IDFK.

       Thanks bmb. One thing I will say, I was diagnosed by NHS Talking
       Therapies as requiring intensive support. There is a waiting
       list as you can imagine. Seven months! In reality, those with
       mental health issues require support from volunteers, charity
       groups etc., and those that help are to be commended.
       Fortunately I am doing OK and have a lot to be grateful for.
       Many are not in that position and need help.

       I certainly do understand. MH services funding gets cut year
       upon year upon year and as a result waiting lists are
       horrendous, there's not enough staff or services available, both
       of which ultimately contribute to an increased need for those
       services. Never ending vicious circle. We come across so many
       issues when trying to signpost people who are above our level of
       support.
       We started Talking Cherries as one of those groups of
       volunteers, the aim to tackle the silence and start the
       conversation by talking football. We are all qualified MHFA's
       and some of us have further qualifications. Reading now have
       Talking Royals who we helped get set up and we're working with a
       guy from Luton and another from Birmingham to get similar groups
       set up there. I tend to work more with just referees who need
       some MH support, some a lot easier than others in terms of the
       levels of support they need and if I'm really qualified enough
       to be the one helping & all too often even if I'm not it's still
       just me, or someone like me, because of the lack of
       options/availability of services. The whole system needs a good
       shake up and proper investment of funds.
       In RTR terms you have me and Charlieboy is also a big
       MH/anti-bullying advocate and has a good listening ear. Happy
       you're doing ok now but if ever you're not then reach out. That
       applies to everyone on here.
