109Waddle Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Gutted to concede so late again. Infuriating. On a general point when did it become the norm to have 5+ mins of injury time? Back in the day when got done at Old Trafford in the 97th the amount of time played was eye opening. Now, it seems games going to 95-100 mins if not more is just the standard. No excuses for conceding so late, but had we played 90-93 mins yesterday and for a few games last season we’d be in a healthier position now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normal now for these excessive after 90 periods, play to the whistle, should we not have learnt our lesson by now given the amount of times we've been done in that period.

ANDY Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 We were guilty of some excessive time wasting yesterday. Ref had every right to add a few more mins over the allotted 5. in the past when teams have done it to us we’ve often grabbed a winner or equaliser. these things always come and bite yer árse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sunburn Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Keep biting my nails to the knuckles when refs do that. How many games did we not win last year in those ‘8 minutes’ xtra time? UTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Arsenal keeper took the best part of a minute over a couple of injury time goal kicks today, yet still added barely anything on and blew when Arsenal were breaking an empty net. Consistency... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was 4, But the point was that even after stoppages and delays during added time the ref today added on very little and then blew as Arsenal were breaking on an empty net. But against us they seem to add time onto added time and gave QPR time to have one last attack (yet didn't allow us to take a corner at the end of first half added time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 We tend to forget that there is ONE SOLE TIMEKEEPER in the game of Association Football - the REFEREE. These display boards are nothing in the context of the game. Listen carefully to any commentator, and his actual words will be 'The fourth Official has indicated a MINIMUM of X minutes added time may be played. The Referee can add on time wasted during injury time, and as much as he deems fit. He is the sole arbiter of when the game starts or finishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did he get a minute and a half extra in the 5 added minutes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the 4th Official indicates 5 mins, it doesn't mean the Ref agrees, and he is the only one tht matters. Looks like we're passing the tradition on to the U23s.
