Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but how the hell did the ref come up with 2 minutes. 3 second half goals and plenty of changes, granted there wasn’t many/any stoppages for injuries but still should have been 4/5 minutes at least. Might not seem like a big deal but an extra few minutes could be the difference between a draw and a win. Rant over
It was the same at Cambridge the other week, saying that we had +9 additional minutes Vs. Wigan & did **** all with it…..
It was nice to play an opposition team who just got on with it, no faking injuries or time wasting so well done Reading.
Completely agree. Saturday baffled me too. They gave 9 minutes but there had been several hold ups in that 9 minutes so we were expecting another minute or two & he just blew up almost bang on 9 minutes
They finished the game on the front foot so I ended up being relieved it was only 2 minutes. I agree it was strange though. Expected 3 or 4 just because of the subs and goals.
Yep one of their players was warned for time wasting during that 9 minutes and at one point the ref pointed to his watch to indicate that he was adding time on then proceeded to add zero extra on.
On X, someone watched the 2nd half again v Wigan (yes, all 54 mins of it) & checked how long the ball was in play. Well done for doing it - 23. Ins!
