So what does he do. His watch hits time shortly before the goal. Does he unfairly prejudice the defending team by playing extra to give the attacker a chance to score?
He’d already allowed the passage of play to go on to the point where the guy was a split second from striking the ball towards goal. If time had expired just before then as I say it’s his discretion as to what’s appropriate to add on or not. So it’s his discretion that’s in question here which I would say is poor at the least. Didn’t have you down as one of the VAR generation Bullster!
Arguably however, what happened in this video is scrupulously honest. Which is what one wo0uld generally hope a ref would be in his decision making.
Technically he is correct. However, I think the expectation is that a referee never actually blows for time in the middle of goalmouth action.
It is like if you award a corner you either blow if time is up before it is taken or allow it to play out until either the ball is cleared or there is a natural break in play. The slight difficulty is where there becomes a prolonged goalmouth scramble.
Compare it to cricket where if the umpire is ready before time is up for the session you get an extra over in or until a wicket falls. Quite whether it is to the letter of the law or more an interpretation I don't know because I don't referee. However, other sports (rugby, hockey, etc) have a central timer and so action would halt ion the stroke of time.

How often does the ball go out of play for a goalkick, or thowin, and you know as soon as the ball is back in play the halftime whistle will go?

Doesn't the half finish as soon as the ball goes out of play after the time is up in rugby?

Thats an explicit rule.

From my referees course i seem to remember if there is an attacking passage of play going on you keep playing until it ends (within reason) so he should of allowed the play to play out rather than blow his whistle for time.

I may have remembered that wrongly though.
Im sure that is what most do. Im not sure its int eh rules though- nor that it necessarily should be what is done.
