Effectively they seem to allocate time for VAR and subs and any injuries then the rest well whatever.
Think it was the Man U - Crystal Palace game earlier in the week? 6 minutes of added time at the end, during which a player was booked for time wasting, yet the ref still blew at 6 minutes instead of adding on some more time. That’s insult to injury. The ref acknowledged there was time wasting, and then helped by wasting more of it with a booking. ![]()
It’s interesting as I have noticed in the Championship they do seem to take subs and stuff like that into account.
We’ll inevitably have our old nemesis as a ref tomorrow Oliver, guaranteed we will get a man sent off, they will get at least one dodgy penalty and he will allow the shitty players to kick us with impunity and vAR will cancel our scored goals for either a forensic offside or a flimsy handball.
Not exactly how it panned out though. He took pity on us..no added minutes thank goodness…
Guardiola, Arteta and their players are hard work to referee. This is what it feels like to be in the thick of it

What an entrance though…
