was spot on today. Didn’t buckle under big club pressure and must be the best ever ( fairest ) refereeing display whilst we have been in the Prem ! But where did the 4th official get 5 mins to add on in the second half ?
Was a great atmosphere in the pub, cheering all those miserable scouse faces. Well done Roberto & the boys.
P.S how small did Albert look at the side of Caroll.

If you remember Albert was down for at least 2-3 mins and there were a few subs. The thing what bugged me was the 5 mins actually turned into over 6 mins. :woohoo:
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!was spot on today. Didn’t buckle under big club pressure and must be the best ever ( fairest ) refereeing display whilst we have been in the Prem !Aye, defo agree. We’ve not seen too many of them in our Premiership days.
Small point but the 4th official doesn’t decide the time to add on, the referee does.
If you watch closely enough a few minutes before the 90 the 4th official will go near the touchline with the board and the referee will give a small signal with his hand how many minutes to add on – for 4 minutes for example he’ll hold out 4 fingers, usually with his arm down the side of his leg so it’s not really obvious. The 4th official will then put that on the board and often just flash the number to confirm. The ref will then give the thumbs up.
