Rotherham (FA Cup) Post Match Thread

[Bob Loblaw]

That was a lot closer than I expected. An extra training session is definitely needed

 

[BringBackSwales]

well it caught the early leavers out thats for sure

Yep, pretty sure the 2 in front of us would have left with 14 mins left rather than the usual 11 had they known there’d be no injury time (or as it is now succinctly known, “made up bollocks time based on the whims of the referee”)

Imagine you had a bet on 8-0 and you think.... OK, 6 subs and 4 goals.... 30 seconds a piece = 5 mins.... come on City.... and the whistle blows on 90 mins

That’s cause the ref had 7-0 ;-)

Rotherham fan here, just got back home from the game. What's to say...well well done on the win. We didn't play anywhere near as good as we can but even if we did you would still have won very comfortably. The gulf in class is huge. Anyhow we know what we are and that's a small club and always will be. Was a privilege to visit the etihad, great fans, class team. Wish you all the best. Oh and there's only 1 team in Manchester and its blue. Best wishes guys. Up the millers

Nice one fella, hope you stay up in the Championship at the expense of Wigan, hate them! Haha

Right match of the day - not seen the goals yet

Mate of ours with us at the Match had 8-0 at 50-1 and was seriously not impressed at the final whistle !

 

[bluwes]

Mate, you really want to compare those 2 moments? Title drama and 7-0 vs Rotherham?
I don't get your point.[/QUOTE


Am I missing something, surely he means if Dean had blown on 90 minutes we would have lost 1-2 and rags won the league, or am I being Clarkied

The lad i go with had Sterling, Debruyne first scorer with then the scoreline of 5-1 6-1 7-1, He was convinced we'd concede as our previous 10 or so matches we had. Told him we wouldn't.

I don't get your point.

The point was the referee should not just arbitrarily blow his whistle there must be some time added on for goals, substitutions time wasting etc.

It didn't matter today but what if the ref had blown up when he felt like it in 2012?
