Anyone else get caught out

[anny road]

I thought there was about 3 minutes left when the c*** blew up...i forgot the 7 minutes were already getting eaten into

[Benitez]

yep, I thought that. Expected the match to go over the 100 min mark!

 

Nice surprise when he blew the final whistle

[Maldini]

Motson You could hear the cogs in his head grinding to a halt as he declared that we'd be playing up to the 100th minute.

No - I worked it out on my PDA folks! The whistle went about 30 seconds before I thought it would. As you say, there were around 3 minutes left when the injury happened, the injury took up just about four minutes. If as often happens the ref doesn't always add on time for subs (as they can come on during a natural lull as the ball is being retrieved etc) - then around 98mins total was right - I think he played it to about 98:30 or thereabouts.

I made it game stopped at 87:12 and continued at 91:25 - so we have a difference of GMT!

Yes, but so does walking and breathing at the same time thesedays, the senile old sheepskinned twunt.

[Guest Ant]

It says alot about someone when Lawrenson is the smarter of two people.

I thought the telly said it restarted at the 93 mark too, dunno what time it happened, I didn't look at me watch that much.

Should of re-phreased that, i mean from the restart until the end

[surf]

How much first half injury time was there? Added up it should be close to the 100 minute mark.

[Guest Sabre]

Yeah, you are right, it did feel like 2 or 3 minutes because it actually was in the end. 7 minutes added time is from the 90th minute - not, as Motson thought, from the time we started the match again.

3 minutes, which was too much if you ask me.

Yep - two minutes at most I thought.

[surf]

So the game did last 100 minutes.

[Guest Sabre]

Yes, but the clock never stated 100, as the 2nd half always starts at 45..

[Guest roger]

Sitting in 208 I had no view of the much maligned scoreboard. Which probably stopped on 90 mins anyway!

 

[Andy Mac]

When Motson said the game was gonn stop at about the 100 min mark I knew he was talking out of his a***. 7 MINS added time - 3 already gone. The ref got it right.

 

NEXT !

[realtarragona]

I started my stop watch thingamajig at 7 minutes when it was announced. Full time with 2 and a half minutes left.

[Paul_LFC]

I thought there was 2 minutes left to be played of the 7 minutes when he blew up, but I wasn't complaining!
