Couldn’t make the game today, great result tho, just what the doc ordered!!

Anyone care to explain what the 10 minutes injury time was for? Was agony refreshing the LiveScore app after they scored to make it 2-1 until the game was finally finished.

Injuries.

7 added minutes given due to an injury to one of the Newport players and time added for subs , we made it it 9 mins extra played but ' hey ' who cares we won

It was one injury - one of their blokes went down like he was dead after Ruel gave him a shove and he landed on his shoulder. Physios, doctors, St Johns, stretcher all called on the pitch. Bloke managed to walk it off. Real strange one.

We seem to have loads of injury time every week.seems more than the average.whatever the average is.

The guy hit his head when he fell to ground. Looked pretty bad on the replay TBH. Thats why it took several minutes.

Turns out it wasn’t pretty bad.

And he was constantly holding/rubbing his shoulder for a while after.

I’m not suggesting he was faking, but after that length of stoppage I want to see someone being stretchered off. Or supported as they hobble off at the very least.

Was a bit of a suprise that after that amount of time for a banged head he was able to continue. Commentary was suggesting he swallowed his tongue - speculation of course given their position.

That’s exactly what I was thinking

That last minute or two was agony. It seemed an eternity and I'm sure we played about 10-11 minutes when in reality it should have been 7-8.

Anyone else have their heart firmly stuck in their mouth when it looked as if they were running through on goal just after they'd made it 2-1? Think it was Happe who made an unbelievably good last ditch challenge

Yes of course, I think we all had our hearts in our mouths . The stress at the end was giving me a headache . I can't really say I'm currently enjoying watching us at home .

Ref played 10 or 11 mins. Was agony

Good grief, grow a pair you lightweights.

Jman yes it was Happe who made that challenge.
