Don’t doubt your time keeping but it’s the opposite to what I recall!Unsurprisingly Rooney’s tiny mind is focusing on the wrong target.
I’d say Dean’s decision to blow at just over 95 minutes, given the amount of disruption to open play during injury time, was far more open to question than the actions of the QPR players in that period. There was a considerable delay in QPR restarting after Dzeko’s goal and more importantly from Sergio’s goal hitting the back of the net, to QPR being able to subsequently kick off, was over two minutes and yet he only went about 30 seconds over the minimum five minutes he had indicated just before the board went up. For at least half of the time afforded in injury time (including those extra 30 seconds) the ball was not in play.
I’d have been fucking fuming if United had been afforded that level of generosity in those circumstances.
Watching in a bar in Boston the place exploded when Aguero scored. I just recall going mental and jumping up and down, hugging every Blue, Chelsea and Liverpool fans joining in and this seemed to go on for ages when I then looked up at the screen and noted the game was still on!
I shouted that the game was still on and everyone dropped the celebration and we were all very nervous, screaming at the ref to blow every time QPR got the ball. Finally, after what seemed to be a few minutes (but probably wasn’t even 30 seconds) the ref blew and the celebrations began as the rags in the corner made their exit
