Time-wasting. Right. How much time does Crappenturd allow players during matches he refs before he wags a finger? How many players has Clapperboard actually booked in his PL career for time-wasting goal celebrations? Enquiring minds would like to know. How long was Ade's celebration? At what point (30 seconds, 45 seconds, 55 seconds...) did Battenhatch decide it was a case of time-wasting?
The whole world thought it was because Ade was guilty of "provocative, derisory, or inflammatory" behaviour - but no, it was all about the clock.
I think we need to get Daniel Taylor and Teh Grauniad to investigate.
"Sir Alex Ferguson likes to boast that his Manchester United team score more late goals than any other side in the world. Others argue that they get a bit of extra help from referees. It has now emerged that the Premier League champions do, as suspected, benefit from an imbalance in the amount of stoppage time that is added to their matches."
