Quote ="HXSparky"The clock on the scoreboard yesterday appeared to be the "real" game-time one. Several times, the clock kept on running when the ref had put his hands up to stop it. It didn't matter in the end, but I'd say that the second half (I didn't notice it in the first half) was at least 2-3 minutes short of the full 40 as a result. One stoppage in particular (when one of the players was injured) was over a minute with the clock still running. This also happened (not every time) when scrums had formed and the clock still carry on running.'"
We make a point of saying that the clock doesn't reflect the actual time remaining, and as such, shouldn't be taken for granted. The guys in the booth (who run the PA, Music, Scoreboard as well as various other things) were a man down yesterday, so things like this can happen.
though I do understand your frustration at Fax as a Team , I watched the game with a Nuetral view ,and thought Fax didn't have the urgency in their play , for the first half , then after getting back into the Game they allowed Donny and in particular Cooke to work a few moves , run in open play , and then win the game , I wouldn't blame ref Joe Cobb either , the Fax fans were calling offside a lot , but he was the same for both teams , I thought your Halves had quiet games and the Forwards didn't boss the game , although Tonks ran very hard .
