Goal scored in the sixth minute of 5 minutes stoppage time. I expect the papers and TV will be absolutely full of debate about it for the next week, just like they were when it happened the other day.
It was actually bang on 5 mins... when the free kick went into the box. I was timing it on my stopwatch as I usually do in stoppage time.</p> It would have taken a brave ref to blow for time while the ball was bobbing around the box. </p>
5:32 according to BBC But I trust your stopwatch more...! To be fair there were stoppages in stoppage time as well, so he was probably right to play longer, but how many refs do? It feels great to get the rub of the green for once
RE: 5:32 according to BBC It was deffo 5:00 as Butters took the kick as someone had just asked me how long left, and I said "Time up - now" just as he swung at the ball.</p> Some are saying we had 7 mins and technically that was right, but only because the ref waited for the celebration and allowed Ipswich to kick off - and then only by a second or two! </p>
i somehow dont think a Barnsley winner after the end of the allotted time will attract quite the same fuss as Man U's
point is surely that if the ref thinks there is 5mins 59 seconds to play he has to put the board up as a "minimum" of 5 minutes as that isn't a minimum of 6 minutes. therefore anything scored upto 5mins 59 seconds is correct.
