Manager Marcel Nimani insists he’s still a fan of the extra stoppage time being played this season – despite Whitstable falling victim to it.
An extraordinary ending to last Saturday’s 3-2 Southern Counties East Premier Division home loss to strugglers Welling Town ended Whitstable’s six-match winning run.
Striker Harvey Smith put The Oystermen 2-1 ahead in the 91st minute after winger Josh Williams’ second-half penalty had cancelled out former Whitstable frontman Marcus Elliott’s early goal.
But three minutes later, the visitors equalised and Welling Town snatched the winner in the 99th minute. It comes with England’s refereeing body the PGMOL having opted to use more additional time in order to reduce time-wasting and better account for goal celebrations, substitutions and injuries this term.
