Well done United!

[Brahan]

This time could have been used by City to score too

The time for Bellamy's goal celebration plus the Man U substitution was added on to stoppage time. The ref added about 10sec too much.

I'm no great fan of Man U, but this is conspiracy theory nonsense.

There were 4 minutes of extra time allocated. There was no incidents within that extra time, but the goal was scored 5.30 minuites into added time onto the added time?

It isn't conspiracy theory nonsense at all. See my post in the other thread on P&L.

Of course, if you take this match in isolation, then yes, it looks petty but "fergie-time" is cleary written into the FA's constitution now and it's corrupt. I don't care how MOTD2 dressed it up, it was wrong and too much time was played. Referees never add the time of a goal celebration to be added on, plus, where on earth did he get the figure of four minutes in the first place?
