Manchester Derby

The allowance for time lost is a minimum..

But Owen scored in 95:36 when the forth official said 4..

The laws of the game state:

Allowance is made in either period for all time lost through:

• substitutions
• assessment of injury to players
• removal of injured players from the field of play for treatment
• wasting time
• any other cause

The allowance for time lost is at the discretion of the referee.

Very clever of Taggart to bring on Carrick after 91 mins to wring out another 30 secs after Bellamy's injury time goal already gave another minute..

City fans must be sick

[cactikid]

ohh did they lose then

[jwade56]

Bellamy & the rest of the city players spent well over a minute celebrating the equalizer in injury time..... only themselves to blame

[Walkinmyshadow]

Course they're sick.. they lost!!
But unless the format of the game has changed without my knowing,
It's the same for both teams, ie: City had every right to go and get a winner themselves in "extra extra" time,
But they were happy enough with a draw against the run of play.
But of course Man Utd doing what they do best and playing till the final whistle got the winner,
How often have you seen that?? seriously how often??
But time and time again i here the same old long winded schpeel from Pool/Chelsea/Arsenal/City etc etc supporters,
"Oh ye lucky lucky ~~~~s blah blah blah"
It's as if Man Utd as not suppose to play to the final whistle.

Ps: As I'm writing this Chelsea have gone 3 up against Spurs (the lucky lucky ~~~~s)

The beef is these long periods of ET only come in when the mancs are not getting a result. If they are winning a game at OT theres the mandatory 1 min ET. If they draw or are losing you could get 90 mins ET

But none of the anti-Utd brigade can see that..
They have selective vision

Fair enough m8, But as i said before it's the SAME for both sides!!
Putting it this way,
Another minute of extra time is favorable to the attacking team, regardless of whether or not its home or away,
The fact that Utd are more times than not the attacking side, usually means that they score late in the game..
Sometime it's at home and sometimes it's away.
And yet it's constantly perceived that they were lucky to win the game when scoring late.

[dctyper]

the time was legit. 4 mins extra time, 30 secs for the sub and over a minute for the city celebration. nothing wrong with the time what so ever

[jwade56]

I'll Second that...........

[plasterer]

At least it went off without any trouble ...............Paul
