arsenalpfh Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I didn't know this was allowed as I've never seen it in a real life EPL game, but I've just witnessed it Bug? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Taylor Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 There was one ref who did it irl, a while ago. I can't remember who it was, or the teams involved, but the media kicked up a fuss about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evadedskery Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 it was wimbledon vs man utd and the ref blew the whistle just before robbie earle scored a header Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jld123 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 It's definitely allowed. A ref can call time any time he wants after the 45 mins are up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigcwwe Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have seen the whistle blown as i am about to go clean through and it is annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recury Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Most refs would have the sense to blow the whistle as soon as the ball goes out instead of waiting for everyone to get ready and then blowing FT. That happened in a real life match I saw recently and no one thought anything about it. The match engine just needs to be a little quicker on the draw sometimes I think. edit: It would help if it didn't take the players a minute and a half to get the ball sometimes.

Crazy Billy-Jay Jones Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Happened in my last match. Didn't matter too much as the game was already won but it would be highly frustrating if you were trailing or drawing and needed the point/s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalascione Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 As a ref, I've done it IRL before. The ref has the official time and when time is up...well, time is up. Once into stoppage time, I don't see the problem with letting a few more seconds go...unless the ref has no justification for it...see Sir Alex Ferguson and Man Utd.
