Referees: The good, the bad, the ugly!

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

wardy - just a thought...ok, in The Entrance game, your complaint is that you were told there were 2min remaining, then over 4min was played, right?

Perhaps when you asked there was actually 2min of regulation time left, and the ref forgot to include the stoppage time on that?

Also, while this may not have been the case in your game, stoppage time can be added during stoppage time...I've had a few times when there's only been 1-2min of stoppage time planned at the 45min mark, but then I've ended up playing 4-5min of stoppage time for various reasons...

No they were robbed..I was there as a neutral!! They scored then he blew full time..So as the player is running in on goal your telling me there was 2 or 3 seconds left?? No way he played many minutes over the required injury time. Sometimes referees have a very bad habit of blowing fulltime when play goes out or in particular goalkicks..It is a pet hate of mine!!

The Entrance were robbed because the referee did not WANT to blow full time whilst play was continuing...They just happened to score at the end of their movement it was a great finish but in no way deserved!!
