Wound me right up that did. What happened to the rule that they had to go off the nearest point anyway? Ref certainly wasn’t enforcing that one. Nobhead!That player who was injured who decided instead of going off the side he would walk slowly to halfway to go off.
You prick!

Well he did in the end by adding extra minutes on enough to allow our at the death winner, their manager is just trying to deflect responsibility.Wound me right up that did. What happened to the rule that they had to go off the nearest point anyway? Ref certainly wasn’t enforcing that one. Nobhead!
Apparently viveash had been working 1:1 with godden on those exact opportunities and that positioning/movement in the box earlier in the week. Godden said so in his interview and so did Robins. Probably why Robins just looked at him gobsmacked and then hugged him lol

viveash is brilliant, so important to everything
i said to my friends "As soon as Moore takes this kick the Ref will blow for time"
I suspect the Reading players thought the same. Serves them right for their dark arts, just like Forest
I think the FA had second thoughts about this rule after witnessing the amount of abuse players got as they trudged round the pitch and the potential for crowd trouble that brought with it. Referees now tend to cover this aspect in their briefing to the teams beforehand, but exiting to the technical area is the preferred approach.Absolutely. Was a really sensible rule tweak that but is almost never enforced.
Yeah but adding time on isn’t what the rules say they should do. I genuinely don’t understand why they don’t enforce it. It’s not a hard rule to remember and it’s not like the entire stadium wasn’t telling him! (Pardon the multiple negatives!). It worked out ok for us in the end, but let’s face it they nearly got away with it.Well he did in the end by adding extra minutes on enough to allow our at the death winner, their manager is just trying to deflect responsibility.
Yeah, good point. That thought crossed my mind too. It’s not the first time that’s happened, and it’s not a difficult rule to remember (or enforce), so maybe the advice changed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I think the FA had second thoughts about this rule after witnessing the amount of abuse players got as they trudged round the pitch and the potential for crowd trouble that brought with it.

Maybe by changing the rules. Eg the ball is in play for 30 minutes each half with an automatic whistle when the clock runs down
No need to change the rules, just get the ref to add extra time if he thinks teams are taking the piss, it looks like that's exactly what's happened in our first 2 home games.Maybe by changing the rules.

It's Important to remember the goal happened @97-07 , it may be describedI planned to play back the extra time to see exactly how long the ball was actually in play but haven’t had time yet,
Anyone want to take this on?
Or 52 mins and 7 seconds as the reading commentators were sayingIt's Important to remember the goal happened @97-07 , it may be described
as the 98 th but is kind of misleading.
Tbh I don’t care what any of them think. Robins has got them playing right to the end of every half. Forest scored 90+ minutes. Barnsley penalty 90+ minutes. Blackpool 45+ minutes Reading 90+ minutes. If they are so unprofessional they can’t play till the final whistle they all deserve what has happened to them. How many times in the last 50 odd years I’ve seen us conceded at the end of a game. This is the first time I can remember when our fitness is that good we are still sprinting, looking for a goal well past the end of a half, long may it continue.Or 52 mins and 7 seconds as the reading commentators were saying
But and it needs saying although getting these goals in injury time is great in all these games including Barnsley we should have had sewn up by half time need to start doing that.Tbh I don’t care what any of them think.
