Until there is an "official game clock" that everyone can see, time being controlled by the ref will remain another tool the powers that be can use to influence the outcome of games. As has been mentioned, when red-shirt teams need a goal, extra time appears from nowhere, with 9, 10 or more minutes played. When non-cartel teams are chasing a game there's barely more than 3 or 4 minutes added. And never any explanation of where the time has come from...
Cheating in plain sight, pure and simple.

A stopped clock with a fixed number of injury time for injury time would solve it all.
Ref signals 3 mins, everytime ball goes out of play clock is stopped, ref blows on exactly 93.00 regardless of action. Simple really.

I read somewhere that a similar idea was proposed to IFAB? (the footie law maker board) but was turned down. Apparently, during a 90 minute match the ball is only in play about 55 minutes on average. The idea was for 2 x 30 minute halves, where the clock stopped whenever there was a stop in play, so for goal kicks, throw ins, "injuries", etc. So simple, cuts out all the time-wasting shenanigans we see every week and the paying public know they're actually going to see what they've paid for.
