rilez is correct...should play till whistle is­ blow...even in the game when you indicate the handball­ it not mean anything if the ref not blowing the­ whistle..follow the rule..and man city not yet the­ ruler....go man utd

Man utd were the better team, but that's not the­ point. The referee allowed himself to bullied by the­ atmosphere of Old Trafford, by giving a bad free-kick­ for the 3-2 goal and the last free-kick, that lead to­ the winner. At least twice man city headed the ball­ away in the final seconds which meant the attack had­ effectively stopped and the whistle should have been­ blown. The time keeping for injury time should be­ taken away from referees, because this referee was two­ seconds over time.

To RAFAise this issue, lets look at the­ FACTS!!!!!!!
*Fourth official Alan Wiley indicates a­ minimum four minutes added time.
*Under Premier League­ rules, the referee can play four minutes plus 59­ seconds.
*City score an equaliser – the referee,­ Martin Atkinson, can add 60 seconds for celebration and­ restart (Hughes admits it took 45 seconds for play to­ resume).
*United's Anderson is replaced by Michael­ Carrick – the referee can add 30 seconds for a­ substitution.
*In these circumstances, Atkinson is­ entitled to add two minutes, 29 seconds to the original­ four minutes.
*Substitute Michael Owen scores for­ United to win the game on 95 minutes, 25 seconds – well­ within the allotted time.

there was no stopping man city going up the other end­ and snatching a late winner was there!! while city were­ concentrating on the clock and hoping for the whistle­ to blow, man utd were getting on with the job to win a­ game of football.......come on city fans,, even tho u­ didnt win u gotta take some posotives out of that game.­ ur neighbours will be well and truely lookin over there­ shoulders now

By far he best Early Doors in a long, long time

"The addition of a whopping seven minutes of added­ time"
What game was you watching?

to #7 - RE: it was delt with by MOTD, HA @#$% HA, so­ next time theres a problem MOTD presenters are the ones­ to go to coz they deal with it, even using there­ methods the whistle still should have been blown 1­ second before the ball crossed the line, on football­ focus on sat morning they showed an incident in a game­ where literally 1 second before the ball went over the­ line the ref blew his whistle for half time! i was a­ neutral for this match and the fact there was so long­ added, and proberly not for the last time for man u,­ overshadowed what was a great game to watch

too hung up to write anything else??
Or yahoo did you,­ ED??

2nd

It was dealt with on MOTD. He should have allowed­ 95' 26 seconds. The goal was scored on 95' 27­ seconds. Get over it!

I don't support either team, but you have to admot,­ seven minutes is excessive.
