Extra Extra time for United

Fink Goddie · 2009-10-27 11:32:41

Why is it when United are losing they always get excessive extra time from referees. I really think its special treatment. Backfired on them this weekend but 5 minutes added time, like wtf!!!! Two mins at max should have been added.

The ref was clearly giving Utd every chance.

In fairness to the OP, the Racing Post and in particular Kevin Pullein (the ultimate anorak) examined this a few weeks ago and found that there actually is more time added on in MUFC games when they are losing than when they are winning.

An average of nearly a minute extra over 5 seasons worth of data.

Though clearly as the researcher acknowledged this may partly be a result of teams time wasting when they are leading against MUFC.
