If it is rigged for the top 4 clubs, I just hope it stays that way when we are up there.

E-mailed the FA and queried the consistency of timekeeping, in particular:
why 4 minutes of added time were awarded in the first place,
why an additional minute was added on the grounds of excessive celebrations, when 55 seconds is hardly excessive and no different to many other goals when an additional minute has not been added;
after United scored their 4th goal, why the referee did not play an additional minute when the game restarted.
Also asked them if they were investigating Chuckle Brother, the incident where Garrido got hit, conduct of Ferguson and 4th official after United's 4th, and how the fan who tried to attack Bellamy got on the pitch in the first place.
Got the following reply, which was a whitewash and didn't answer any of my points on timekeeping, but did confirm that they're looking into the other points. Won't hold my breath though.
"Thank you for your email following the Manchester Utd v Manchester City game.
In extra time the time displayed on the board is an indication of the minimum number of minutes that will be played and all stadium announcers are asked to make this clear. In this case we understand that the fourth official indicated that a minimum of 4 minutes would be added. Approximately a minute was then added on for the goal celebration and thirty seconds for a substitution. The winning goal was then scored with a few seconds of the game remaining. We hope this clarifies the extra time added on Sunday.
We are unable to comment any further regarding your further points relating to the game, as these are currently being investigated by the FA, who deal with all disciplinary matters".

Andy Gray was arguing with Keys yesterday on The Final Word saying to para=phase him at what point does it become excessive? and if you are adding on for one goal celebration then it has to be every celebration regardless of how long

Just a suggestion, John Stapleton may be able to help our cause and bring it to the attention of the media.
He was going beserk on TV this morning about the added time.
I met him away at Fulham last season and he is a really great bloke and a die hard blue.
As many of you will know he attends most home games and tries to get to as many southern games as he can.
I know he is on Facebook, I'm not, and wondered whether any bluemooners who are already on Facebook would be able to send him details of this thread.
I don't know how Facebook works, so don't know if it is possible.

I think I can get hold of his email address from a poster who posts on here. If Monty wants to do this, I'll contact the poster concerned.

Has anybody actually read the premier League rulebook, specifically 'added time'
I can't find the section on the one available on the internet but the Fifa rulebook states added time can only be added for injury assesment and substitutions. I keep reading Owen's goal was within the rulebook limits, but why would it be any different to Fifa's? Anybody?
