1. The injury time shown on the board is a minimum not a maximum
2. Oxford were timewasting before and during the 4 minutes and the additional time was properly amended to reflect this (their substitute, for example, walked off the pitch extraordinarily slowly)
3. Their guy was booked in injury time for impeding a free kick (standing too close and getting in the way) – this is a booking for wasting time and so additional time was properly added on to take account of (a) the time wasted by the offence and (b) the time taken for the referee to book the bloke.
4. Boo hoo Oxford chokers.

I knew that. Well, most of it. And I didn’t mind, I just thought it was incredibly funny. Schadenfreude you know.

(Wrong topic, of course, but who cares. We ain’t no on-topic rockists.)
