Sheffield Wednesday Post Match Thoughts

It is confusing
My guess fwiw:

Full time (each half)ends exactly on 45 minutes after kick-off
Injury time starts immediately after full time
The referee tells the 4th official, as near as possible to full time (but not after it) what the extra time is
If an injury starts before full time but continues into injury time then the extra time signalled by the 4th official is only the injury time accrued up to 45 minutes. The injury time after 45 minutes is added on to the end of the game in addition to the extra time signalled - just like any other injury stoppage during the extra time period.

Or the more simple explanation- the ref didn’t know what he was doing

How long did his injury carry on Into injury time?

[loyalmiller]

Well over a minute, I know because I waited till he’d left the pitch before I set my watch for 8 mins and they scored with my watch at 7:47.

Stadium scoreboard clock said 2 minutes to go when ref stopped game for the injury. The statto sites have the sub coming on at 90+1

The goal was logged as 90+10

is there any reason for there not being a clock in the stadium showing injury time?
It would be easier if football timings were like most other sports and just played a set amount of time, and stopped the clock when there was an injury/sub, then everyone would know exactly how much time is left.

When I looked it was on 87 but that’s irrelevant. The board said 8 minutes and I started the stop watch at 8 minutes when play resumed.

Don’t get me wrong I’ve kicked the cat and everything, but I don’t think on this occasion we can blame the ref.

Ref was poor without a doubt, but we had enough chances to make it irrelevant.

Instead of having a long shot whilst being closed down, Vaulks should have ran to the corner to waste the 'last' minute, then they don't go down the other end.

Strange how we get allocated a ref from Bolton on Dearne who has family members that are season ticket holders at Hillsborough. Surely a local ref should not ref a local derby.
Our lack of finishing cost us the game though yet again. Fordes one on one lacked conviction, Smiths easy chance in the first half when he dragged it wide, Smiths header unmarked from 8 yards out, the list goes on.
Our real cup final is at Reading next week, let's hope we turn up.

I was too gutted to post anything on here last night. Never felt so down after a game before.

Yes, the ref was poor - he fell for the diving / over-reacting by Forestieri and was quick to flash the cards. Icky may have been a bit lucky it was just yellow.

But, as most have said, it was again poor finishing that cost us the result, not the ref. We did play with some passion and really wanted that win, and that's all we can ask for until we have the chance to get some new blood in.

Having got a good breakfast inside me, I'm almost over it ...
