overtime : Sun Mar 15, 2009 5:51 pm  

Don't know if anyone else noticed but the clock was stopped with about ten minutes to go after Tony Martin kicked a penalty. From my watch we played for two minutes before it was started again.

I was thinking that the game would end with two minutes on the stadium clock but it continued. We finished playing an extra two minutes this could have proved very contraversial.

Clock is only for fans benefit, official time keepers have correct timing.

The clock was often out of sync with the official timing on the big screen at the Warrington game but they kept readjusting it.
so that probably happened today.

Spot on. Might be best to turn the clock off a couple of minutes before HT/FT to stop silly and incorrect accusations over bent times! Not helped by commentators talking about 'injury time' which does not exist.

There are normally 2 timekeepers - one from each club.

Catalans do not bring a timekeeper - so both are from Wakey - therefore I doubt if there was an issue!
