Are you saying that the total time the game was played was wrong?
Surely not?

The right amount of time was played, with full time signalled by the hooter at the correct time. I had it about right with my watch
Quote: Stand-Offish "
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.'"
The clock can be stopped and started and that is what they are trying to do, it is just obviously not being done right or not enough attention is paid to the ref. I manage to get it right most weeks with the stop watch on my wrist, the stadium clock is just a stop watch with bigger buttons, so I don't understand how it is wrong nearly every time. That's why I say turn it off or let it run, this has been a problem for a few years now.
Quote: Stand-Offish "
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?'"
Indeed
It should also be noted that at most other grounds you can't even see a decent scoreboard let alone a clock counting anything like game time
.. does that mean that Workington shouldn't have got a bonus point?
