Ok, now that makes sense.

So if some player decides to waste time by playing hurt (as happens in football) it doesn’t effect gameplay because the Ref can always add that time back at the end.

Sounds reasonable to me.

The only thing about this that bugs me is when a ref urges players to speed up at the end if they appear to be wasting time. Sometimes they will give a player a yellow card if they are obviously wasting time.

What bugs me is that the ref should be willing to call the same thing at the beginning of the game if he's going to call it at the end of the game. I understand the suspense at the end for a come-from-behind tie or win that is being blocked by delaying tactics, but the teams (if they are really good) shouldn't be in the position of relying on the last minute goal to win.
