I realise you must feel hard done by and i don't blame you for one minute but as far as i know its a time keeper from each side that decides the length of injury time and they signal the hooter not the ref. I don't know where 6 minutes came from myself apart from Tompkins injury. I know it won't be much consolation but well played and it looks as if you've turned the corner and form is on the up.

It used to be. I think it's a single timekeeper these days, although I could be wrong. Both teams made bad errors and didn't play to their potential. Cas found a way to win, Salford didn't. Probably a lot to do with why Cas is well above Salford this year. There's a lot to be said why so much time was played when it didn't really warrant it, but you play to the hooter regardless. A draw would have been a fair result, though I think Cas fans will see this one as a lucky escape more than a well-earned victory.

As a Salford fan, I feel we seem to be on the wrong end of these kind of games more than on the right and it's starting to become somewhat depressing.

Timekeeper was listed as Gerry Kershaw,the ex referee.he retired nearly 20 years ago as a referee.
One has to question why the two timekeeper system was ended, just another job for one of the boys,in the cosy RL match officials club.
Fans would be staggered at the match fee that the timekeeper now receives,and it would seem,not even doing it correctly.

So you're now questioning the integrity of Gerry Kershaw?

I thought every ground had a live clock these days that gets stopped when the ref signals? There shouldn't be injury time as such.

Re: How long is a RL match? : Sat Jun 28, 2014 8:15 pm  

Do they not have a clock that you can see in the ground? Listened to the commentary through the Red Devils app and they didn't seem to mention any controversy, said there was still about 2 minutes left when we had the goal line dropout. Sounded like they could see a clock as they were giving the exact time that was left including the amount of seconds towards the end.

They played Fergie time the game went on until cas scored, a 46th minute try and the hooter didn't go until the 47th minute.

I hope Salford seek an explanation, that said we would probably get fined for protesting.

No questioning in my post, just facts of who what and where.

I'm sure every Salford player, official and supporter is totally gutted. If in doubt I think the club should study the match video in detail to carry out their own investigation. If the club think they have a case it should be made public and reported to the RFL. We're all cheesed off, but let's wait and see what happens before we make accusations of match officials cheating.

I agree and it should be simple for the officials to study the video at the same time as they check for the various infringements,just as they did when a certain team had an extra man on the pitch for a few seconds.
