Just a little aside though, I thought it would have been a drop out at the end of the game and with only around 20 secs left to play according to the clock there would not have been time to take it anyway?'"
I suspect that Bradford would have gone for another more composed play rather than the rushed one they had to do!

Not if there were only 6k there today he'll be buying them from Netto. If however there were more there he'll be buying them from Armani!

| Quote ="charlie"It was also out for half time.
Its a bit of a joke, pointless having it if it's not in sync with the official time.
Surely it should be turned off for the last minute and half, such as at Salford.
If it was the other way round some of our posters would be going nuts.'" The clock goes off at wigan about 3 mins before the end of each half.

But surely the argument was they had more time than they thought they had, not the other way round?
If the clock had gone to 0:00 and they gone high risk thinking time was up and they then found out there was 20 or 30 seconds remaining I would agree with you. I thought Newton was moaning like a bitch because the hooter blew when the clock said there was still time for the drop out to be taken.

| Where I stand I can’t see the score board so I keep my own time. I don’t bother stopping it when the ref calls time off but 40 minutes was up way before the hooter sounded.
If Bradford had shown the same urgency for the first 70 of the match as they showed in the last 10 minutes they wouldn’t have needed the unofficial 20 seconds to secure victory.

I couldn't see the clock either but on my watch we had played about 42 minutes when the hooter went (not counting stoppages).
You would think all teams would realise that unless they are looking at the clock on the SKY big screen it is an UNOFFICIAL clock and therefore just there as a guide.
Let's be honest anyway, how can they say we cheated them out of a win. Who can say whether they would have scored if they had had an extra 20 seconds (or 2 minutes). Chances are that they would have lost the ball on the 3rd or 4th tackle as they did so many other times through the game.

The hooter went and then Bradford hoisted the ball. The point I am making is that this was a rushed move and they probably thought they had another play.
By the time Ryan knocked the ball dead, the stadium clock was probably at zero anyway - or very close - and no time for a drop out.

Fair enough, I can't say I heard the hooter blowing whilst the ball was in play - thought it blew after the ball had gone dead. But then again it was very noisy and I could easily be mistaken..... For what its worth, I think the stadium clock was showing something like 11 seconds, and that was why Newton was crying to Silverwood that the DO should have been taken, but irrelevent either way.

The hooter definitely went before Atkins hit the ball out of play.

| The hooter went just after the play the ball. It was then that Bradford put the kick up. End of the day you play to the whistle/hooter.

Agree, the hooter went before the kick. It looked (to me) that the kick was rushed because the hooter went.
Either way, it's two more points!

| If Sykes hadn't taken 2 minutes of the clock still ticking to miss all those goals, the whingeing Bradford fans would have had plenty more time.
The hooter went well before Atkins touched the ball, even before it was kicked.
Bradford only have themselves to blame - scratching around for a few seconds at the end of a game is desparate.

and in addition to that.... ^^^^
if bradford hadnt made a mess of the same move 3 times, certainly one of which lead to broughys try, then they wouldnt have needed the extra 20 seconds, which actually wasnt extra, which actually didnt exist....!
likewise, if fatomona hadnt given steve 'great grandad' menzies a crap pass, they wouldnt have coughed up posession and may well have scored another try....which, without those 20 seconds, which didnt actually exist, would have won them the game anyway....
was it really the time keepers fault that bradfords ball retention was poor? we're playing well at the mo - and credit to the lads - you could say, at the moment, we're a good side ! and we all know, you carnt put ball to ground and fail to complete your sets against a good side - they will punish it and it'll cost your side the game...we've been on that side of the coin so many times
It'd be better for bradford to get thier own house in order by learning to do the basics right !

I thought he'd actually fallen asleep stood up when he was waiting to take the second one. He just stood there gawping at the sticks for ages, even before he took his steps back e.t.c.

| there are 2 timekeepers one from each club who have got to agree on the time the scoreboard clock is just a guide and is not the official time agreed the clock should be stopped a couple of mins before full time but give the guy a break he has only started doing the scoreboard this season so there are bound to be some mistakes
