Where did that extra time come from??? : Sun Feb 26, 2012 10:44 pm  

Great game today and top effort from our lads, I am sure we will get stronger with all the lads to come back, we are not far off Fev based on todays effort.
Only thing that puzzed me was that I thought we had nicked it on 80 minutes as my watch said it was 4.40pm, so where did the 2 extra minutes come from to finish the game at 4.42pm?

Not sure whether it's true, but i've heard Powell has the same style watch as Fergie!

The time it took to sort out the brawl, the time it takes Tyrer to kick goals, the time it took either team to get back to kickoff when tries were scored? Surprised there were only 2 extra minutes!

The extra time bubble orbits the earth every 26 years or so. Yesterday's "ET Bubble" was merely dropping off the minutes taken from our match at Thrum Hall in 1986.

I think if you add the time it took both teams to drop out from under the sticks, the time it took both teams to restart, time off for the handbag swinging and the time it takes both players to take there conversion attempts. 2 minutes is probably not quite enough. At least we don't have a scrum half stood behind a ruck for 5 minutes trying to decide what to do.

I'll be waiting on yet more time from that match popping up again then.

Isnt there a rep from both clubs when it comes to the time keeping? Nothing to see here, move along.
