Not really. The clock would be stopped in uniform with the time that refs effectively currently use as a timer in order to add on for injuries and time-wasting. Dead ball situations such as throw-ins, corners and goal kicks can be ignored as they are now. At present, added time can be more than the stipulated duration announced just before the 90th minute is supposedly up - as more injuries and time-wasting can take place thereafter.
