The laws of the game clearly state it is 45 min each way total 90 min,the Referee does not add time on he knocks time off during the game have you not seen them stopping there watch in the game? so everyone thinks he is adding time on but actually he is playing only 90min. Technical i know! its how you tell them !!

Actually that is exactly true and pretty profound statement because even the officials and announcer consider it to be 'time added on'....Its easy to get annoyed when teams score in the 96th minute or something and easy to forget the referee has indeed stopped his watch to reflect certain things. I read somewhere that 30 secs for each sub too?

I wasn't at the match but listened to it on RS and thought DA was doing the right thing by taking off Miller and putting a big defensive player on to defend the lead but of course it can affect the mentality of the side and give the opposition a bit more time to launch their attacks but think most people would agree that conceding two goals in stoppage time is unbelievable because should it not be relatively easy for a team to keep possession just for a few minutes of a game or at least not give the ball away so easily? Maybe taking Miller off was counter productive in that sense..How come their player was able to score the last goal without someone marking him?
