If that (stopping their watch) were the case, then how come "added time" is always to the minute and NOT to the second?

No, he is correct and why the announcer always says a minimum of X minutes because as Hilda Baker used to say she must get a second finger for her watch! Refs only have stopwatch on with minute intervals only...

No we are in serious trouble if we can't stop two goals in two minutes...Other clubs we are about to play will exploit that to bits when they see as they do, the videos of these games...
