Injury time question

heston · 21st September 2010, 01:06 AM

If a ref decides there's 4 mins 30 secs of injury time to be played, will the board held up by the fourth official say "4 mins." Is so, why is a man of Wenger's experience crying about a few seconds over the four being played? In that scenario, surely it won't matter if there are stoppages during the added time or not?

Sorry if SEB, haven't had time to trawl through all the posts.

Was nothing compared to the amount of time added on that materialised in the Manchester derby last year.

Because he is looking for someone to blame apart from himself and his players

Yeah, but I've heard professional pundits and journos discussing the match and saying there were no stoppages in the added time.

IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER!

4 MINUTES ON THE BOARD MEANS ANYTHING BETWEEN 4MINS and 4MINS 59.

Minimum of 4 minutes basically also means "up to 5 minutes", so Heston is spot on.

They are just trying to make excuses for plucky Arsenal, with their team of kids who play free-flowing football while evil Northern teams try to kick them off the pitch.

Obviously that's despite the fact our team and squad are younger than Arsenal's, that we had more possession and the fact they had more fouls in the game and a man sent off.

But still, it's one of the "big 4", can't make it seem like an oppopnent from outside of that group actually played well enough to warrant something from the game. There MUST be an excuse!

Its time referees came out and said this. It would have ended his argument instantly.

Anyone remember if he complained when Fabregas scored at our place two years ago?

doesnt really matter if he says he will add on 4 but adds on 17 because the game is still on until the ref blows the full time whistle.
