Lrrr Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Was anyone else confused as to how only 5 minutes were added on? I mean De Bruyne's goal made it irrelevant but 3 subs at 30 seconds each (generous for Walker's) - 1:30, 2 goals add an extra 30 seconds each 2:30, surely 30 seconds to a minute should have been added for each of the times the Man City fans played around with the ball? So at least 4 mins at this point if not more, then the injuries to Reid and Walker and I was expecting at least 7/8 minutes of extra time to be added, could have been a difference maker if we'd had more than just 1 min left or so after our goal if we had an extra 3/4 minutes.

bcfctim Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Have a token like. Walker alone was down for 3 minutes. It was outrageous. Didn't seem important but then we score and suddenly it has a massive impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thought most things referee wise went Man City’s way tbf. Nothing crazy but anything little they either got away with or was called against us. Stuff like Stones falling and handling the ball and nothing. Then ball bounces up on Bryan with his arms at his side and whistle goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in general Man City did seem to get the advantages. Plus the blatant yellow card that wasn't given- ref played advantage, but didn't book the player at the next break in play, despite the offence being a cynical foul. Didn’t see the Flint one. Wasn’t a horrid ref just think he gave them the benefit of the doubt and did not for us. We were already well up against it and they didn’t need any extra advantages.

LondonBristolian Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I think there is a stat somewhere that the ball is only in play for something like 65 minutes of the average game. So additional time is always understated based on that and should usually be about 10 minutes per half... Walker was down long enough for me to decide he had been down a while, go to the toilet and come back and sit and wait a while for play to start. At least four minutes. At the same time I expected 5 minutes to be added on. I think officials are reluctant to do more than 5 minutes unless there is an extremely serious injury.

Port Said Red Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The end of the game seemed a bit surreal. I couldn't hear the whistle so, it looked like Manchester scored and all the players and the benches just went, "fair enough, we'll call it a day there".

I think the problem is that piling loads of people forward to grab another goal – which we inevitably had to do – is suicide against a team of Man City's quality. Their third goal proved that.

Said the same to my mate last night at the game...'if only it had been 5 mins earlier'. As it was we had no choice but to continue to push it all as we were so deep into stoppage time and the 3rd is no huge surprise in those circs...
