playback time
Stoppage time is the equalization time of a football game beyond the regular playing time (45 or 90 minutes) in order to compensate for lost time, for example, due to substitutions, injuries, weather-related interruptions or impermissible delays. A distinction is made between the times that must be replayed and the time that is only to be replayed within the scope of determining the benefits. The determination of stoppage time is at the discretion of the referee and is added to each half (45 minutes plus stoppage time). If there are further losses of time in stoppage time, these must also be played back within the framework of the rules.
The stoppage time is to be differentiated from the extra time , which may be set afterwards in order to bring a tie to a decision. Overtime can also result in stoppage time, but this is usually less due to the shorter playing time (twice 15 minutes each).
regulate
The world football association FIFA stipulates rule seven (duration of the game), paragraph three (stoppage time):
" The referee determines stoppage time in each half to compensate for the time lost due to the following events:
- Substitutions
- Examination and / or removal of injured players
- Time wasting
- Disciplinary action
- Drinking breaks (maximum one minute) or breaks for other medical reasons that are permitted according to the competition regulations or
- Delays due to video sightings and reviews
- all other reasons, including any delays in resuming the game (e.g. when celebrating a goal) "
and adds in the interpretation guidelines:
“ It is completely normal for a game to have numerous interruptions (e.g. throw-ins, kick-offs). Re-play is only allowed if there are excessive delays. "
In the area of the German Football Association (DFB) , an explicit distinction is made between “lost” and “wasted” playing time: The lost playing time, which must be replayed, counts
- Substitutions,
- Treatment of injured players,
- other interruptions that are not typical of the game and cannot be attributed to a team (for example, interruptions due to the weather or drinking breaks) and
- characteristic interruptions in the game, the duration of which exceeds the usual level (for example, the game cannot be continued because no ball is available).
The wasted playing time, on the other hand, essentially consists of deliberately caused extensions of interruptions in the game that are attributable to a team. Since wasting time is illegal - depending on the scope, a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct may be considered - this is only to be replayed within the framework of the benefit provisions. The referee has to consider whether this is likely to be detrimental to the team that wasted the time. A classic are games in which team A leads and wastes time, but team B took the lead at the end of the regular game: Here it would be an advantage for team B if there is no replay.
Lost and wasted game time can overlap. For example, if the player who is to be substituted leaves the field of play very slowly, the time that usually accrues for a substitution is to be replayed as lost time, while the additional time is to be assessed as wasted playing time.
The referee should indicate the duration of any stoppage time in the last regular minute of each half. If he has done this, a binding effect comes into force, ie the referee must then also allow this time to be replayed, even if the stoppage time consists of wasted playing time and an advantage would be possible. In exceptional cases - especially if the stoppage time is longer than five minutes - the referee can replace the report by verbally notifying the two captains. If there are further delays in the game in stoppage time, which in turn lead to stoppage time, the stoppage time must be extended by these time components; This time is only displayed separately in exceptional cases.
How stoppage time is to be calculated - for example based on substitutions and goals scored - is not uniformly regulated. The Swiss Football Association , however, puts in Rule 13.7, sentence 2 states:
"For each exchange, which is performed after the kick-start of the game and the second half has to prolong the referee the play time by 30 seconds." As the possibilities for lost time are diverse, most football associations have no or at least no rigid time limits for this.
