Year after year we have to watch Man USA getting preferential treatment from referees and I''m sick of it. They wouldn''t have half the trophies they do if their refereeing was impartial. Helping one team to beat another is match-fixing, and there is no way around it.Did anybody else think the free-kick for USA''s third was a helpful decision as well?

Metatron 0 Posted September 21, 2009 To bring this back to NCFC...what bugs me about the "4 minutes" the ref added on was that he then added a further minute for Bellamy''s goal celebration and 30 seconds for the substitute.All of which would be fine if ALL refs did the same on a consistent basis.In our game on Saturday the ref allowed 2 minutes extra at the end of the first half despite an injury to Drury which lasted at least 2 minutes on its'' own, an injury to Llera, three goals (celebrations + restart) and a load of time-wasting by the Charlton keeper (so much so that he got booked for it after our goal).All of which apparently equals ''a minimum of two minutes''.How many times have you seen a game where the ref adds no time at all on for a sub made during extra time? It happens all the time.This is one of those areas where rugby has a better idea than football with the clock stopping/starting and being visible to all.

canaryjock 0 Posted September 21, 2009 Given that the ball is ''active'' in matches for only around 60 mins out of the 90, surely 7 mins stoppage time is nowhere near enough and in fact most games should have around 30 mins of stoppage time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whatiswrongwithus 0 Posted September 21, 2009 apparently there was only 1 second added on because Bellamys goal celebration lasted just under a minute and the substitution ........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
