       Chris Kavanagh: Crystal Palace v Liverpool

       Firstly, well done to Crystal Palace because they deserved to
       win based on performance today.
       However, first Palace goal shouldn't have happened as should've
       been a GK rather than corner, however mistakes happen and I
       wouldn't call it obvious from the refs angle and I only noticed
       when after a few replays.
       Decision was right to allow Chiesas goal, good from Donohue to
       rule all angles inconclusive and go with referees call.
       Finally, I think Webb needs to set the refs down and come up
       with a set policy on how added time is policed. Last week at
       Anfield the second half was stop start all half yet only 3
       minutes were added on, yet today at Selhurst added time was more
       oress interrupted barring a sub yet 90 seconds extra appear, we
       need a set policy to ensure consistency week on week.
       Edit: and one more thing, I know it's a hot topic on here but
       the technical area needs to be consistently policed. I agree
       Slot should've been booked today for leaving his but 90% of the
       time you won't see it happening. It's not fair for one to be
       punished and not all. Some 4th officials seem stricter than
       others, Sam Alison in particular seems strict as I've seen a
       good few managers get pulled up when he's on the line.

       I think it's funny that this week Liverpool fans are complaining
       about how much stoppage time was played, however they benefited
       last week from too little being played. Swings and Roundabouts
       comes to mind

       There is already a policy, they are told what to add time for.
       But the game being "stop start" isn't one of them, otherwise
       they'd be adding time for every free kick, corner, throw-in,
       etc, and games would be taking well over 2 hours to complete.
       Slot wasn't cautioned for leaving his technical area, he was
       cautioned for leaving his technical area to protest a decision,
       they are two very different things.

       Just a general question on the topic of time wasting while it’s
       been mentioned on here.
       Who is the most responsible for the number of added on minutes
       at the end of the half? Is it the on field referee - in terms of
       being timekeeper for the match - or does the 4O just tally up
       the minutes themselves? Cause I’d really like to know.

       Judging by the fact timekeeping is an issue I would say neither
       accurately 😉 in jest

       Typically, AR2 will feed in to the 4th official the exact times
       of all stoppages that are mandatory to include (subs, assessed
       injuries, red cards, penalties and goals (30 seconds deducted as
       ‘standard’)).  4th will inform referee of the total time on the
       match record card and agree what is going up on the board.
       There remains flexibility for the referee to increase the
       additional time for other, non mandatory delays but this rarely
       happens.
       Net net, there should be a highly specific and accurate amount
       of time for the majority of typical delays … but if teams are
       good / clever with their gamesmanship then they might still
       benefit from this

       I know from personal experience that this has been delegated to
       the AVAR in some leagues to calculate (usually via stopwatch in
       the VAR booth), which is then communicated to the 4th
       official/Referee team close to the end of each half.
       Quite beneficial when benches/the match get a bit tetchy!

       Really can't see how the VAR protocol allows for that.
       Certainly not what they do in the EPL, you can see the 4th
       official keeping a note of stoppages.
