New season .... same old same old - 4evaabaggie - 26-08-2017
AFC Bournemouth 1-1 Man City
Five minutes of stoppage time indicated, five minutes pass, still one each so they play until city score
....... 90+7. Finishes 1-2.Don't the big clubs have enough advantages without this extra help ....... have not watched the game, it may have been justified but it smacks of top six bias ...... remember fergie time.

Disagree, the ref was right to add time onto the initial 5 mins due to stoppages and time wasting during those last 5 mins. The added time indicated on the board is a minimum, not a maximum time to be played.

St Charles not arguing, like I say, I did not watch it. Years of seeing first hand bias towards the top six including let's play until man ure score fergie time tends to taint your view a little, I did say it might have been justified. Thank you for responding having watched the game ........ funny how the minimum stoppage time often runs on for the elite though.

Yes, I agree about Fergie time through the years, I remember we were on the end of that once at Old Trafford when Bruce scored well into injury time to beat us!! I suppose in reality the top teams usually benefit from injury time because they are usually the ones chasing the game to try to get the expected win. Its more often than not the opposition to the top 6 that employ time wasting tactics to see out a win or draw against the top teams and to be right for years most fans have at some point shouted at a ref to add time on for time wasting!!
