very good article. and oops the time keeping gets a mention. but yeh we cocked up mega style sunday. a shout was made that we were 4 out, we thought 4 minutes short so we moved it on 4 minutes, wrong way.
comments have been made to have the clock turned off. what do fans feel, do they like the time on or not. i realise we cant repeat the mistake. i think that maybe we should stop rewinding it if were told its wrong, just keep it running, and at 40, just wipe the time all together, with a message, this isnt the official timekeeping clock.
I'm unsure of what you are you on about.
Are you saying that the total time the game was played was wrong?
Surely not?
I thought that what had happened was that at eighty minutes you turned the clock back the number of minutes of stoppage time, such that when eighty minutes showed again the game was over. That's what happened isn't it?
Perfectly understandable as a solution.
Turning the clock off to me is an absolute no-no.
You should be able to stop that clock and start it at the refs say so and when it says eighty minutes the game is over.
Now if you can't do that, get somebody in to enable you to stop and start that clock.
If not, why can't you announce the stoppage time and restart the clock or let it run, people can add stoppage time to 80 minutes?
Can the clock count backwards?
.. does that mean that Workington shouldn't have got a bonus point?
