My piss boiled so much, I almost melted my bladder. 3mins at the most but this Big Six cheating will be forgotten by tomorrow.
I predicted 6 at a minimum.
Would we have had this thread if it was 2-1 to them after 90?
6 was completely fine. I called 6 before it went up. The Sanchez injury stoppage was quite long, and plenty else besides.
When was the last time we got 6 mins when losing?
Having just watched MOTD, god knows how arsenal got the throw in after they hit the bar, when Gross’ clearance was clearly deflected.
Should have been a clean sheet!
If we had a stop/start clock there would be no debate.....
There should never have been a throw in at all (either way) - no idea how Lamptey failed to keep it in. But because Lamptey did TRY to keep it in, and failed - the 'natural' assumption for the linesman was that it was an Arsenal throw he was trying to avoid.
This.
Given that the average game apparently only has the ball in play for something like 60 of the 90, its unbelievable the game STILL hasn't got round to simply having a stop/start clock on display, operated by someone on the sidelines, that stops each and every time the ball goes dead, and recommences when its back in play.
At a stroke you'd cut out all the tedious timewasting, false rolling around in "agony", and pointless substitutions in the dying moments of a game just to run the clock down - it would all be rendered completely and utterly futile and pointless with a stopped clock.
They happily introduce a complex monster of a clusterf*ck like VAR into the game. But a simple accurate clock to get the time right ? Nah, no can do guv.
This isn't going too well for the OP is it?
Whilst it would work for knowing how much ‘game time’ is left it certainly wouldn’t stop any of the other stuff you’ve described… teams winning would continue to do this to disrupt the game and allow themselves to stop any momentum and give them time to regroup etc.
Fair point and quite possibly, being as cheating is basically hardwired into every players DNA. But they'll know their antics are not going to afford them any time getting chipped off at the end. They're just be further extending the game.
seemed about right to me and what i was expecting…….injury, goals, subs, sanchez time-wasting etc. Anyway, has anyone checked that it actually was 6 minutes as it seemed like about a week and a half.
