@WingsScotland@Outland82234662 Now who is misreading the rule? It actually says the “Allowance is made by the referee … for all playing time lost..”.
In this case he probably decided no allowance was required at 3-1 but only DR can say for definite. As I said the ref decides how much as per the rule.
@WingsScotland@Outland82234662 You are not answering my questions - who decides on the allowance per the rule? And what allowance do they have to give per the rule?
I’m looking at the rule as it is written and how the referee could have interpreted it.
@WingsScotland@Outland82234662 What part of the above are you not grasping? The referee decides on the allowance-yes or no? What time does it state in the above “the referee must add” for those stoppages. It’s worded that way to give the referee discretion. He played the minimum and that is all he had to do
@WingsScotland What does the last sentence you highlighted say? I’ll give you a clue it uses the word “may increase” not “must increase”. As I said in this case the referee probably saw no point in playng the 20 odd seconds of time remaining after the 8 minutes we’re up. Pretty simple really.
@WingsScotland You can lie all you want but I never said the ref ended the game b4 8 mins were up. The clock doesn’t stop - it goes on into the goal celebrations and the fans on the pitch. The referee is under no obligation to add more time. Unless time stood still you’re talking pish 🍀🍀🍀
@TheParkheadF@TonyH_Pattaya If we could get him at the right price (i.e. wages) then I’d sign him mostly as a back up / impact striker but start a few times too. His talent is unquestionable and a natural finisher🍀. Big time / situation player too - calmly blocks the ball for 3rd goal didn’t dive in
@WingsScotland The ref “played” the minimum of 8 minutes as required - the clock doesn’t stop. Celtic scored in 97 1/2 minutes the celebrations took up the remainder of the minimum time. It is then up to the referee to decide if more time was needed. At 3-1 the game was dead so no need - simple
@mattleslie74 Said the guy who retweeted a blatant lie about how it affected Motherwell chances of securing 4th spot at Easter Road when it didn’t 🤷🏻♂️.
@20MinuteTims@LanLiveSport The ball barely cleared the 18 yard box from a position 2 yards outside the 6 yard box ffs. It’s not like it was blasted into row Z in the main stand.
@iainbroon90 Your no very good at sums 🤦♂️. If you got a point last night you would be 2 clear of Hibs rather than 1. So a Hibs win on Saturday would still take them above you in either scenario 🤦♂️
@mattleslie74 The penalty had no bearing on that whatsoever. A point for Motherwell would only have put them two clear of Hibs. So a Hibs win on Saturday would still have the same effect. Another false narrative 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@Alan_Morrison67 I’d like Celtic to go 3-5-2.
Back 3 - LS AT KT
Midfield 5 - JA CMcG AOC ST MS
Front 2 - BN TC
Let Tounekti float as a 10. Benji is not a midfielder or a winger but has an eye for goal and could play off big Tam. I know it would mean 3 left footed defenders but have no options🍀
