I hope Britain's finest police force is ready.

Was gonna be taking my daughter to this, ive had a nagging doubt that it might be unpleasant.

If we win today I'd advise against it.

No, I didn't, I do watch ours though, and see the opposition teams timewaste for 95 minutes every week, do we get 9 minutes to grab a goal when needed?

Like I said, the Forest keeper was down for 4 minutes, and there were 5 lots of substitutions which I'm guessing they allow 30 seconds each for. Then you've just got your standard bits of stoppages in the game etc.

The extra minute in injury time was the Konate injury.

I genuinely can't think of a game where we should have had 8 or 9 minutes, but only got 3 or 4.

Chelsea at home is the more baffling one. 1 goal, 4 subs and 2 cards for time wasting and only 4 mins added time.

Liverpool forest 0 goals, 7 subs and 2 cards for time wasting 8 mins added time

If I was more of a sad bastard I’d re watch our games with a stopwatch and document what is being manipulated with added time..it stinks

The number of players substituted should be less relevant now that multiple subs are made at the same time. It used to be 30 seconds per substituted player as a guide.

So City 6-2 ahead against Luton no added time , Liverpool against Forest 8 mins added time then 9 mins they score game over over , what the fuck is going on

The Luton cup game isn't a proper comparator. That game was done and dusted. The result wasn't going to change in any additional minutes. Maybe Taylor did us a favour and reduced the possibility of our players picking up an injury.

Just seen the clip for the dippers goal. So much wrong with that a top ref should not be making so many mistakes in such a short time.

First the dipper defender cheating claiming a head injury, clear cheating.

Secondly the dipper defender was clearly hit my his own keeper ! But not on the head.

Thirdly the ref stopped play with forest in possession.

Forth the ref than restarts the game by giving the ball to the dipper keeper who committed the 'foul' in the first place.

Then the ref is dishing out cards against forest at the end, when the ref has costed them a important point. Which come the end of the season could see forest relegated by a point.

What punishment will the ref get ?

Why doesnt VAR get involved in all these clear and obvious errors ?

Fifthly, said head injury player down was up instantly the play stopped.

The cunts should be told if our coach is attacked the game doesn't happen, fuck the points, it would show the feral twats up on the big stage and the reason would be clear.

There were actually only 3 stoppages in the Chelsea game for subs, as Nkunku and Alvarez came on at the same time.

Yesterday's game had 5 stoppages.

The extra 4 minutes yesterday came from the Forest keeper getting wiped out and needing treatment.

The biggest controversy was the refereeing decision, and that is one that I don't think anyone can justify.

Lets worry about tomorrows result first.

Used to lose sleep over derby games , i don't anymore , if the Rags did scrape a win we all know it will be a smash and grab and they would need the referee to make some incredulous decisions , it does'nt happen often nowadays , ive got other things to worry about , do i go with Desperado's again or the more traditional Guiness/John Smith combo for the match :)

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Have to say I saw the same thing in the first half and so assumed that the ref was just following the LOTG. So as Clattenberg/Jenas et al on MOTD have pointed out... It is down to failure to play the rules correctlty by Tierney. Evened up I suppose but then very tough on Forest who should have had the game well won by that time anyway. Tierney has to hold his hands up for that mistake.

Play like that next week and Haaland will have another 5.

Mistake??? You're funny :)
