I work out the time the whistle should go from the added on time. When we are wanting to hold on, those three minutes (or whatever) seem like an eternity. 21.34 the added on time, and at 21.37 I am shouting at the referee.
Sad I know.

Does my head in that we can't have the added time ticking down on the scoreboards.

There's a bloke near me who sets the stopwatch timer on his phone when the added time is announced, and watches it run down. He goes apeshit when the ref goes past the time added on.

Does he never hear the words “a minimum of”? :shrug:

I spent most of the game at Selhurst in row 47 not knowing the score or who had the ball. Just jumped with the rest of them.
Spurs extra time, didn't a player go down injured so a few more seconds added? Must say the last 20 minutes was the quickest I can recall for a long time.

At the Everton home game my 86 year old dad got up out of his seat, just as Everton were award a penalty (The Bruno incident). Said he was off to the loo. I thought must be desperate as it was 90mins, surely he could hold on. Or he thought it was a foregone conclusion with Rooney taking the pen maybe. When he game back he sat himself down to watch what was left of added time, and was then shocked to discover it was 1-1 (Reading the scoreboard!). The ref then blew for fulltime. He thought it was a free kick to us rather than a penalty to Everton.

I actually start the stopwatch on my phone at this point :blush:

Moura, so the two minutes added time became four (at half time)

The wise move is..fill the gob with pie closely followed by a large draft of ale. Proceed. Then tell the boyfriend that you're daughter is a lot better now the Meds have kicked in.

Intimate that her ex is about to get out of broadmoor and you're happy that the death threats are "probably" false.

Take a phone call from a mysterious Albanian then ask if he's still got both kidneys as "a friend" needs a donor.

Rest.

When we were at the Withdean one of my mates was so pissed he thought the half time whistle was full time and left the ground!

I thought he had gone for a pie until he rang me from Preston station wondering where I was and why there was nobody else on the platform!

Arranged to meet the new fella of one of my daughters for the game last night, arrived in a rush, late not having had any tea, got a couple of day tickets for the south east corner. Watched the first half and went down for a drink and something to eat at half time, it was heaving down there. Eventually got something, best pie i've had at the Amex burnt my mouth whilst trying to eat and drink as quickly as possible, others were doing the same. Heard three distinct loud cheers, but it is somewhat muted down there, finished my pie,left most of the drink and returned to our seats. Said to the guy next to me, was it a penalty and and he despairing said yes. We had missed two minutes of the game, didn't have view of the scoreboards and assumed that we were 0-1 down and proceeded to watch the second half as if we were losing,wondering why Ryan was playing for time with 30 minutes to go. I was surprised by the cheer at the final whistle and thought there were a lot of Spurs fans in the ground. Driving home listened to CH on Radio Sussex when he said it was great to have taken a point from Spurs. Can't believe I watched the whole second half thinking we were losing, but what a great game, mind games at the Amex, at least i went home happy. :clap2:

Ahem. You're a feekin eejit.

:lolol::wanker::thumbsup:

My first ever game, aged seven v Rotherham 70/71 season. We left assuming a 0-1 defeat, not knowing we'd scored in the first five minutes. No screens the size of Belgium to help us then though.
