Years after it's introduction it baffles me that many people in football still don't understand that it is a minimum amount of time that the 4th official displays.

City scored in the very final seconds of the ninety. The game did not restart until approximately 91.20. Every substitution should result in another thirty seconds being played and United replaced Anderson with Michael Carrick in the 93rd. The four minutes of injury time signalled is a minimum period, not a maximum.

So even if Owen scored after an outrageous-sounding 95 minutes and 27 seconds, it was legitimate for the the game still to have been playing at the time.

Sums the situation up fairly well.

First time in years I've really given a toss about a derby and it ends like that. Epic A little bit of house-keeping: 1) Anyone know what was thrown at Tevez? Out of order at any rate. 2) Bellamy: deliberate airplane celebration? I thought he was just celebrating at first but he seemed to put his arms back up again as he walked past the United fans. 3) Bellamy: hopefully he'll get the same sort of ban as Cantona got for attacking a fan. Punching someone when they're being restrained by three people, oh you hard man. 4) Owen: give this boy the keys to the city. Good lad. 5) http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... Id=2646206

Never saw it on TV did the fan come on the pitch?

I'm far from Bellamy's biggest fan, but having seen a video of the incident, the fan appears to spit at him. Bellamy didn't punch him either, he just pushed him. If he did spit at him, Bellamy had every right to kick the poop out of him.
