It is. But..surely once the ref blows the final whistle the match is over?

 

[paxtonwolf]

Shouldnt have even been playing 96min 29secs

Two words. Manchester United

 

[Robbo]

Could you get more jammy

Shocking. Potter should be requesting where the extra 60 seconds of added time came from

+ they should have left the pitch when he blew the final whistle.

Just go down the tunnel celebrating.

 

[paxtonwolf]

5 minutes added time

Fernades pen 90+10....says it all

 

[JerusalemMan]

What absolute scum

sadly the whistle was only blown after the ball was headed off line, the handball offence occured in live play so it had to be considered, my grievance was that the whistle should have been blown before the corner was taken at 96:20

 

[Robbo]

In any other circumstance you'd be happy your next opponent apparently have spent their good luck, but as it's United I fully expect us to be in Brighton's shoes in a week.

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Could be a good game Brighton v Man u.?

...he who knows Rodney.

That's a fair point. Add on 30 seconds for the March goal, where did 1min 30s come from?!?

However,I'm fairly sure that when VAR first came in there was an instruction that all VAR decisions had to made before the ref blows the final whistle. It was mentioned it was to avoid perfection where the game ends then 2 minutes later a goal is disallowed etc.
