When the play- rrs deliberately kick, the ball out of play with the intention of wast. ing time, then the referee has the nower to add such time as he thinks has been wasted.

Most referees have a stop-watch by which all stoppages are easily cezounted for. When players are aware that wasted time is noted and duly allowed for, they usually carry out these movements at a more normal speed.
