    Not yet again!

    The club must hold the record in Div2 for conceding a goal in the very last minutes of a game. It is unbelievable that the team are totally in capable of holding on to a lead or even a draw on so many occasions. If I was the Manager I would be going ballistic!

    Things have improved a little the game used to be over by half time before!! this problem has been going on for years now but no one at the club has any idea of doing anything about it. Crewe the biggest softest team in the football league for a few months at least. 87 min Crewe thought it was all over WELL IT IS NOW !!

    Well second half I had my stopwatch on (sad I know) and 4 minutes time was said to be added on, in fact the second goal was scored between 4 and 5 minutes, I don't know where that extra time came from.
    Not an excuse I know but strange it wasn't queried

    If their first goal was in added time, the ref will add on more to account for the celebrations, I think!!
    And remember it’s a minimum time.

    96 minutes played according to the stats on BBC Sport. Where on earth did he get those extra minutes from? Matched them for possession, had more shots than them and really deserved something from that game. Poor refereeing, poor defensive cover or just plain bad luck? Was Artell right to bring on Walker for those final throws of the game?

    The laws of the game clearly state it is 45 min each way total 90 min,the Referee does not add time on he knocks time off during the game have you not seen them stopping there watch in the game? so everyone thinks he is adding time on but actually he is playing only 90min. Technical i know! its how you tell them !!

    I almost wish Miller hadn't scored. It was after that event that Exeter started 'panicking' and lobbing the ball into the box at which time we crumbled again. Prior to the event Exeter seemed to have settled for a draw. Still we also very nearly scored in extra time as well.
    I know how I felt at the end of the game. I can't imagine how some of the players felt.
