TFoA Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 lol @ the end of that Man City-Man U game. That was the loosest application of a set amount of stoppage time that I've seen in soccer. How did 4 minutes turn into 6 and a half? Ha ha so true! One thing with Manchester United though is you know they will keep going until the final whistle goes!That's for real. Their win in the 99(?) UCL proved that to me.lol @ some guy on twitter saying to Bill Simmons "You're new to soccer so I'll explain the rules of stoppage time: It goes until Man U wins."

I remember a game probably 15 or so years ago when United were playing Sheffield Wednesday (I think it was) and they scored two goals in stoppage time then to win a crucial game. Can't remember if that was the year they finally won the league after 20 odd years or the year before when Leeds pipped them to the title though. The important thing to remember is that you can add time in stoppage time, and that the time shown is not exact. So there was approximately a minute for the celebration of Man City's goal and then 30 seconds for a substitution, and by then you have enough time for Owen's goal. I am always amused that football managers in post match interviews seem obsessed with blaming the ref, but Hughes didn't seem at all concerned that Owen had been left completely unmarked in the box, or about the other 3 defensive errors that lead to goals. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember if that was the year they finally won the league after 20 odd years or the year before when Leeds pipped them to the title though. I think the game you're referring to includes this famous goal from current Sunderland manager, Steve Bruce. You're right Saintsfan, it was from 1992-93, when United won their first league title in 26 years.Craig Bellamy has also landed himself in hot water for slapping a (restrained) fan who ran onto the pitch at the end of the game.(Credit: http://therepublikofmancunia.com/) "Sorry, your signature is too long..."

There are a few other good examples of United not giving up on something when other teams might have! I think it is one of the things that has kept the Red Devils at the top if English soccer for a generation now. United really will lose a lot when they lose Sir Alex Ferguson. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular penalty taker Darren Bent had taken an earlier pen in the game and scored. Managers under pressure- Paul Hart sees P h fall to another defeat.

TFoA Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Man U pulled off another stoppage time job, this time trailing Sunderland 2-1 going into stoppage time, only to get the equalizer off of an own goal, and then have a 10-man Sunderland basically beg for the referee's mercy whistle at the end because they could not get it out of their own end. If Man U had a minute more coughliketheynormallydocough, they probably would've won this game.Sort of a heartbreak for Sunderland. They were THAT close to getting 3 points at Old Trafford.

Saintsfan Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 ****Saintsfans weekly EPL update****Performance of the week- Sunderland going to Old Trafford and being unlucky not to get a win. Irony award- Sir Alex Ferguson complaining about the referees time keeping at Old Trafford. Managers under pressure- P h and Hull both got wins to relieve some of the pressure on there bosses. West Ham not on a good run, Gianfranco Zola's position begining to look a little uncomfortable.**Saintsfans Premiership power rankings**1 Chelsea (good win over Liverpool, good bounce back from a couple of dissapointing performances)2 Manchester United (Lucky draw, but still showing the traditional determination)3 Arsenal (heavy home win to celebrate Wenger's 13 years at the Club)4 Man City (Good win earlier in the week against West Ham, playing on Monday again this week)5 Liverpool (Slid to defeat at Chelsea, after dissapointing UCL performance midweek)bottom 520 P h (away win to end a bad bad week behind the scenes, maybe things will improve??)19 Hull (Good home win, but still question marks)18 West ham United (2nd bottom, unable to get results at the moment)17 Blackburn Rovers (fell to a big defeat away at Arsenal)16 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Home defeat against bottom of the table opposition is not a good sign)***Saintsfan league 1 update****Southampton finally have some points!
