During yesterday’s Manchester United match vs Bournemouth, while United were down to 10 men and were trying hard to hold on the draw, surprisingly 9 mins were added. So I rewatched the 2nd half completely and this is what I found: - There were no injury to any player that required medical assistance. - The VAR check for the Maguire red card lasted around 1min 30 sec. -Bournemouth made 3 out of their 4 substitutions at one go, so the amount lost during it was minimal. United did theirs in 2 parts. So from where did that 9mins come from? PGMOL need to answer!
RETWEET. I wrote a play about the great Northern cities of Liverpool & Manchester, how the football rivalry often gets in the way of the NorthWest becoming a joint powerhouse. Sounds heavy, nah it's a comedy with music. They loved it, so it's back. TXTS: purchase.epsteintheatre.com/EventAvailabil…
