Thirteen minutes just added at the end of the Sunderland v Ipswich match. I think I might be taking a sleeping bag to matches this season.
Lots and lots of people are bemoaning the fact that 'weaker' teams can exploit this for 10 mins injury time. Well, nothing makes injury time special apart from inside your head, and maybe a little bit more fatigue. Forget the 90th min is the last minute and play as if there's 100. New game management tactics will creep in, second halves will likely be slower.
It's a genuine issue if we go into the latter stages of the Champions League and we've spend the whole season playing 105 minute games compared to 95 for our opponents from other leagues.
But let's be honest, in the league it'll favour us more than punish us. No doubt there'll be certain big games where they'll try and fuck us over though.
Or 1 or 2 down.8,9, 10mins won’t be added when we’re 4 or 5 nil up that’s for sure.
They clashed heads around 90 minutes and he said that at around 96 minutes.Whilst Kyle was being treated the.commentary team.said there will be another 6.additional.minutes on top , how do they know and who is timekeeping ?
