Not really important. Firstly it's a minimum of 6 minutes, and secondly there was 1 sub, 1 goal, a penalty and 7 fouls.

Should have been more than 1:15 over the 6 minutes.

I realise it is a minimum of six minutes although rarely in practice does a ref play over the allocated time. That said do refs add time on for a goal and for fouls (unless it is Atkinson). The point the original OP made was that more than the allocated six minutes was played and I was highlighting how injury time panned out. Not sure the sub and a goal warrants an extra 75 seconds being played anyway
 
The sun has the attendance at 75330. So the rags haven't realised the figure hence they would have the same number. Another case of the papers making up figures to benefit them

No it does happen quite often, and usually people get upset when they shouldn't. A substitution alone is supposed to be worth 30 seconds of injury time, so the 7 fouls and goal were only worth 45seconds between them.

Anyway, on to more amusing United news.


Their last goal from open play in the first half at the swamp - Depay vs. Sunderland 26th September 2015.

The half-time scores in rags last 10 home games:

The turtle has just said that fans should be happy that they've won 2 games in a row. Scraping past a woeful Swansea team that got turned over by Oxford and a team in 9th place in League One is apparently cause for celebration

Louis van Gaal: Man Utd fans may have left early to beat traffic

Manchester United fans may have left Saturday's FA Cup tie against Sheffield United early because of traffic concerns, boss Louis van Gaal says.


Thousands of home supporters had gone before Wayne Rooney's 93rd-minute penalty secured a 1-0 third-round win.


United were booed off at half-time, but Van Gaal suggested the early exit of fans was not necessarily a criticism.


Asked why supporters had left early, Van Gaal said: "Maybe [because] we haven't scored. Maybe the traffic."
 
I note that no newspaper had blue circles around the rows and rows of empty seats at Old Toilet on Saturday. Astonishing don't you think?

Bottom line is it took a 93rd minute penalty to beat 3rd division Sheff utd.
And that was after an hour of not having a single shot on target.
Utd are back utd are back Allo Allo.

No newspaper would ever stoop so low surely, well possibly if the team plays in blue. The guy who stalks the "media bias" thread really makes me laugh as he reckons City are treated no differently than any other club. He would no doubt have some daft explanation for incidents like this.

Plus the 3.08 minutes in the first half gives them 10.22 extra playing time, sorry I rounded it up, I was beside myself.
 
Talking to a, sensible, United fan today. He said he had never witnessed anything like Saturday night before. Completely and utterly blames Ferguson for the mess they are now in.

Nearly all of the match going rags I speak to are seriously not happy,haven't been for a couple of years,it's the armchairs who are mainly the deluded gobshites.
 
So; that's told our quiet neighbours. Stop fucking whining, get down on your knees and give thanks to the Lord for the fantastic run you're on.

As for their fans leaving early to beat the traffic, we can't really have a dig, can we?
 
Strange the ginger pig failed to notice rafts of empty seats at Old Toilet during his pitchside mutterings, yet can't wait to mention it when he's at the Etihad.
Perhaps he forgot his glasses or more likely its because hes an utter biased rag bastard!
