Added Time

I’ve been saying it for years. It’s the only way to sort this out once and for all.
A few years ago I watched the whole 120 mins of the 66 WC Final. Players were fouled and just got up. 5-10 mins to go and Banks was actually rushing to take the goal kick despite us being 2-1 up. I sat there incredulous at what I was watching. The game is full of prima Donna cheats. My particular modern hatred is the holding of your head so the ref has to stop the game. 99% of the time they just get up and walk away. Simple. Player goes down. Off for a full 5 min head check by the doctor. That’ll stop it

L. G. it's become a firkin soap opera it's not just the face thing, it's almost as those you can't breathe on any ferker before the fall over like they've been shot, they all ought to join the actors union
 
The Villa Palace game had 9 minutes added on yesterday. The final whistle went after 16 minutes!!!
How the fuck did they find an extra 7 minutes on top of those 9 added on ?
Similar in the Spurs game. I think it was 9 added on again, yet at least 14 was played.
Crazy.
That said I have never understood when a team is tonking an opponent they often only put 1 or 2 minutes on, probably a mutual code for not inflicting more punishment on a team that's been battered.
Even so that is wrong as well
 
I don’t know if it’s changed now but Man Ure and LiVARpool only had text scoreboards at their grounds so they could not show the crowd any VAR replays.

In the grand scheme of things it would have cost them peanuts to have upgraded and installed a couple when VAR came in. In fact they should have been made to do so.

I doubt it’s changed.
 
I'm surprised that a Funeral Director wasn't on standby at Goodison yesterday. Those cheating Gooners were falling around like ninepins.
Having said that one of our lads went down like he'd been shot on Friday night.
It's pathetic and they should be booked.

In the grand scheme of things it would have cost them peanuts to have upgraded and installed a couple of modern scoreboards when VAR came in. In fact they should have been made to do so.

There can only be one reason why they wouldn’t do so. Everything is calculated nowadays.
