I'm sorry but its pathetic...

Lets be honest, im so ****ed off.

I guide Spurs to their first ever champions league final, we hold Real Madrid for 92 minutes and 53 seconds, and then they go and score. Ok fine...but there was 2 minutes stoppage time.

I've checked over the extra time and there were no stoppages apart from the ball going out of play once (interesting after the 2 minutes allocated). So why the hell wasn't the whistle blown!!!!!!!!!

Im sure there will be some twats out there who will moan at me for this, but you know, it just doesn't happen. Well ok maybe the odd occasion, but then there are some reprecussions! So to go on with nobody realising we were cheated out of the champions league is pretty damn ridicolous!

If your gonna moan at this, dont bother. Its pretty ****y when you get so close and it is unfairly taken away from you.

****ing pathetic!

Obviously a bug. Post in the bugs forum.

So, you were never in the lead?

So how did you have it "unfairly" taken away from you?

Seriously though, injury time shown is the minimum amount. The game ends when the referee blows the whistle and he is also unlikely to do it whilst the ball is in a final third (just like real life).

Were you doing this?

The time listed by the fourth official is not always the same as the ref has on his watch. You play to the whistle, it happens all the time in real life, sorry. Lost in the 95th minute of 3 minutes of allotted time. So what?

Ok I may be exaggerating, but you must understand I am gutted.

Yep I completely agree there, but the ball went out of play harmless just inside our half after around 2 minutes 30 seconds. Easy chance to blow there.

"The fourth official has indicated that there will be a minimum of two minutes stoppage time".

Minimum. If the referee wants to play 2:53 of stoppage time, he can only indicate "two minutes". If he indicates "three", he has to play at least 180 seconds of injury time.

Oh typical moderator - You never see a referee play 53 seconds over the time unless there was a stoppage in the injury time.

How about for once just admit it was wrong?

I've actually had a couple of occasions of "extended" injury time. Both occasions, it was due to a foul, or an injury, the referee booking someone, or something along those lines. In cases like that, it's only fair to assume that those moments will be further added.

How about a sense of humour?

Unlucky mate, but as SCIAG said, that's only a minimum, ref can add as much time as they want, and the big teams always get that extra minute (well, mainly Man Utd, but others get it sometimes). Good luck for next season!

In real life,Steaua bucharest(my favorite team) played against Napoli.What do you think?there was 3 stoppage time indicated.so in min 93 match should end 3-2 for my team,steaua bucharest.BUT THE ****** REFREE STOPPED MATCH IN MIN 98 AFTER THEY EQUALIZED US IN MIN 97 AND CUZ OF THAT WE LOST THE QUALIFICATION.think about that...

Agreed, but seeing as there was no stoppage - no reason to extend?

Yeah, this is well annoying.

I'm not sure about other leagues but in Serie A, they blow on the minute 99.9% of the time. 3 minutes of stoppage time? Then he'll blow at 92:59. On the game they can do up to 3 extra minutes on top of that for no apparent reason

"The fourth official has indicated that there will be a minimum of two minutes stoppage time"..

This is exactly right. I've watched countless games where the's not much happened but the ref plays longer than the forth official holds up.

earlier this season Huddersfield had an amazing ELEVEN minutes of stoppage time... (real-life)

you'd have really pulled your hair out at that one, I bet?

But I have also noticed that the minimum stoppage time stated and the actual time played can differ massively... I had a 2mins come up one game and we were kind of holding on... and we still held on, right until the 96th minute when the referee remembered to look at his bloody watch!!!

Never?

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/england/2010/09/19/premier-league-sunderland-1-arsenal-1-86908-22572780/

2 min is minimum added time, as ref can't say 2:50 or 2:45 ..etc

so it is 2min +

Agreed, but seeing as there was no stoppage - no reason to extend?

Well in that case, we're back to what SCIAG pointed out. These things do happen and after all, if they didn't, you wouldn't ever have classic moments like these...

I know at least several Sheffield Wednesday fans who were at that match and share the same sort of disbelief you're sharing with us right now in this forum

Im sure to be shot if incorrect...

But do referees not have "Timekeeping" attributes in the game?

Just turns out you got a lousy one, forgot to check his watch the silly bugger.

In a side note, and mentioned above, it is a minimum. If the fourth official notes 2.59mins for stoggate time, he must display 2 minutes minimum...bit odd, but thats the way it is.

Referees are normally encouraged to blow the whistle on the dot when injury time will make no difference to the end result (ala captains accepting draw in last hour of a test match etc)

I still believe if rugby and such sports can stop the clock when play isnt on, why cant football?

Then again, gives us something to say doesnt it.

Unlucky chap, but, you and me both know, it'll happen again next year ;-)

bad example heath...

everybody knows that the referees synchronise their watches with SAF's at OT and it's always 5 minutes faster than everybody else's when Man U are winning and 5 minutes slower when they're losing!

law #7

Allowance is made in either period for all time lost through:

• substitutions

• assessment of injury to players

• removal of injured players from the fi eld of play for treatment

• wasting time

• any other cause

The allowance for time lost is at the discretion of the referee.

It wouldn't be the first time a referee has given the benefit of the doubt re. added time to the bigger team. That's what happens IRL, ditto in FM I guess.

You just need to tell your players to keep their concentration

Maybe it was a case of Fergie Time.. even though it was on a Spurs-Real Madrid match!

****ing pathetic!

you do know stoppage time is an advantage to you to you could have scored.

This happens ALL the tme in real life. Are you serious?

I lost the CL final to Real Madrid as Manchester United. They had 2 shots on target. I had 11. They won 2-0

That's football I'm afraid and it does happen in real life. Darn frustrating I know but at least on FM we have the option to replay! Gotta take the rough with the smooth at times!

Did Fergie take over at Madrid in your save?

you do know stoppage time is an advantage to you to you could have scored.

That's what people seem to forget. He's talking as if his team walked off at 92 minutes leaving Real Madrid an open goal to shoot at to get the winner. Both sides have an equal opportunity to score in stoppage time

As a Liverpool fan I've seen this happen with The pool many many times last season. Mot as many times as I've seen it happen with United of course

It does happen in RL all the time mate. And it's also happened to me in the game many times. But the times when I've done the same to the opposition more than makes up for it.

"A minimum of".

Merry Christmas - there's always next season.

Ha, I love these rage threads. Unlucky mate, it's not the games fault.

Calm down. What are you 9?

as said above, the time on the board is the minimum time added on.

as for your game, did you watch the full game with your stopwatch or are you only viewing highlights? every time the ball goes off the pitch the ref stops his watch. in real it might take 5 seconds to continue play, it might take 25 seconds, even for something as simple as a throw-in. a throw-in is not generally considered as a key highlight so would not be shown.

i do have to agree though, very often in my games it will signal that x minutes will be added but in reality there will at least 2 more.

if you feel there is a genuine issue then upload some PKM files to the bug forum so they can look into it in more detail

if you want to talk about unrealistic 'goings on' how about spurs getting to the final. you lost dude deal with it like a man and stop crying like whiney bitch

I'm sorry but I have to agree, it is the worst, most annoying, ridiculous and pathetic thing....when people whinge, moan and stress about thing's that are common, realistic and most importantly,,,PART OF A COMPUTER GAME!

I had the same situation in CL second round. I was playing at stamford bridge against Chelsea. Referee adedd 3min but we were playing until 98min! I must admit that I was lucky to get past Chelsea but this bug seems to be more frequrntly. SI, any comment?

As people are saying its MINIMUM added time, listen for once guys yer?

IRL how often do you see that referee added 100% more time???

Not very, but it only happens not very often on the game, so therefore whats the problem?

Define "not very often on the game"? in 50% matches? 10%?

Define "not very often on the game"? in 50% matches? 10%?

I think as he's happy with it, it's up to you to define how often it's happening.

Personally, I haven't had any games where it goes way over the allotted minimum time yet so how about 0% for a starting point?

In real life though, I've lost count of the depressing Saturday evenings after my team lost in extra injury time. That's football.

I can't write to the FA and complain that there's a bug can I?

Several managers have done, and been handed touchline bans - maybe one of the moderators should ban the moaners
