Golden Goal Competition

[Guest roger]

Our Golden Goal man on the Supporters Bus paid out to the 43rd minute person based on George's announcement. But the goal was in added time as we all saw. Which caused the supporter who had the added time box on the sheet to asked questions.

 

Here's the Club response to a members email

 

Dear Mike

 

I have the official line on how the Golden Goal is done here at Anfield.

 

If the goal is scored after the 45 mins has been played this time is then deducted from the 45 mins. Thus this is the time of the Golden Goal. Our Development Association has confirmed the official time as 43 min 17 secs.

 

I hope that this clears up your query.

 

With kind regards

Yeah, I thought that was odd when he announced it.

both halfs of football last 45 minutes.......thats takes into account added time

 

Thats why the refs have those watch thingys....

Begs the question why is there an added time box?
