Who has ever heard of 2 extra mins after added mins in football? I felt sorry for Manchester City and thanked God it wasn't Chelsea. The ball was out of bound for numerous times, yet the referee let the match continued. I was thinking "what the hell, is he waiting for them to score first?" Then Bam! Michael Owen scores. This only shows that money can not buy everything.:nono:

Its what they said on sky sports this morning, at old trafford and other places the only other they named was anfield.

Said that its intimidating and refs are often in favour of the home sides and add on a bit more extra time.

they werent given 2 minutes of time they shouldnt have, the ref gave a minimum of 4 minutes, and that was the least that could be played. then you have the time put on by bellamys goal and celebration (about a minute) then a couple of substitutios a further minute, so really, man city werent cheated at all

It went on for over 7 minutes, for me it should have ended at 95:30

1 sub and a goal.
As each subs usually 30secs.

But i dont care really :dance:

Plus Shay givens time wasting whilst taking a goal kick.
Whether the ref adds 7 or 70 minutes at 3-3 surely it's beneficial to both teams until one of them scores,of course.

how can anybody make excuses
i was always taught play to the whistle
it was the same amount of time for both teams
what if man city had of scored late?

its just a pointless talking point
like most things they over exagerate nowadays
thats football deal with it and move on to the next game

Yep, Shay Givens spent an eternity with that kick out and sure Man City would have been the luckiest team on the planet to have walked away from that game with anything.
