I am fine with it if it eventually causes teams to stop time wasting during the match. You want an extra 30 seconds here taking a throw in or a goal kick or an extra 2 minutes walking off for a substitution, the refs just has to add to the back end.
Sure, sure, I didn't see it as a bad thing (or a good thing). Maybe "outrageous" wasn't the correct term, maybe "refreshingly unfamiliar" fits better? And in some cases "extremely unlucky".
