Just a reflection of the PGMOL's seasonCertainly not complaining from a fan perspective (didn’t want Liverpool winning the title) but how has there been such little injury time added on there?
Don’t blame MO for dashing off. You seen the state of the crossbar?!
Watkins knew what he was doing. No foul for meAnyone giving anything for Fernandinho's tug on Watkins?
Collapsible barriers like they have at Wembley. Or retrospective action, like if your fans invade the pitch and you are promoted the first three home league games will only have away supporters allowed in. Or if it happens in a semi-final you have your ticket allowance for the final halved. Yes, it is punishing the innocent fans, but this isn't the odd person invading the pitch, it is thousands and is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or even killed. Aston Villa are reporting that their keeper was injured during today's invasion.Problem is with modern fence free stadiums, how do you stop the pitch invasions? Certainly wasn't for the lack of stewards, appeared to be plenty of them, but it's going to be a nigh on impossible task when so many are so determined. Dry moats maybe? Would safety regulations allow that?
As for the game, I have no issue with the amount of 2nd half stoppage time given Villa's timewasting from the start. Anyone giving anything for Fernandinho's tug on Watkins?
We were so poor today, I was resigned to losing it. Not quite qpr again but not far offShould have played to 96. But Villa were spent. Can’t ask for more than a two goal lead. Looking back, Mings passing to KDB in his own box was a big moment!
But really, deserved for City.
I watched both games. Taylor let a load of fouls go. Again, consistent with the second half of this season but OMG crazy really.
Brilliant day of football again
And the ball is in play for an average of about 50 minutes of a 90 minute game. This isn’t anything unusual these days and nothing specifically to do with this fixture. Added time is a flawed process and time wasting isn’t properly punishedI went back and timed it. The ball was in play for 90 seconds of the 4:25 of added time.
