New referee interpretations

As fans we are left in the dark to a large extent. I knew about the 30 second rule after reading it somewhere but 8 and 9 minute add ons totally confounded me. It would be great to see a definative explanation.

The minutes added in the second half would have totted up on the grounds of substitutions. That would have accounted for around 4 minutes at a guess. Excessive celebration does need to be curbed and right to add time on for kicking the ball away. It is absolutely ridiculous to be making a player wait 30 seconds after treatment for an injury. God knows who dreams these rules up and indeed why. No problem making players go off the field after treatment but that is a rule for the sake of a rule and as someone has pointed out, the team suffers from their player being injured
