Parkinson claims it was the 6 minutes of injury time that cost us as he was expecting 4. Correct me if I am wrong but didn't they score in the 3rd minute of injury time? if so what difference would it have made? infact it actually helped as it gave us a couple of minutes to try and equalise.

I've noticed over several years that 5, 6 mins is not unusual in Spanish and Italian football (I've even seen 8 mins) but English football has for years worked on a regulation 3 minutes , seldom varying in either direction by more than a minute.
Recently we've had quite a few examples of much longer add-ons. I noticed, for example, that Beattie socred for Stoke today in the fifth added minute of the first half v Man City.
Coincidence - or an FA instruction to referees? Does anybody know ?
Does that make you feel for the guy ? happy to be proved right ?
what does it make you feel ?
See my speculation above that English refs may have been told to clamp down on this and be stricter in terms of adding time...
We are f*cking desperate for points.
FFS Are we Charlton fans or what.
yes and all I'm saying is going 1-0 up and timewasting for 49 minutes isn't going to get us any.
It did on Tuesday.
That's exactly how Hull City played at The Valley last season.
And they won promotion.
I just know from watching Soccer Saturday from afar, that when we are winning we are one of the last results to come in, but when we are losing we are one of the first.
Has soccer saturday been going that long that you actually saw us win on there?
"Blatant attempts at time-wasting backfired on the Addicks as Thompson sensationally bagged the winner four minutes into the six added by referee Richard Beeby.''
Parky would be better advised telling the players not to be so silly and naive, rather than complaining about the ref doing his job properly for once.
Looks like it could have been worse as there's an impressive pic on the Burnley site of Murty heading off the line. Their match stats also reckon they had 25 shots (half of them on target) to our 8. In other words, on average they had a shot every three and a half mins... so without Elliot, it might have been far, far worse.
I really didnt see it that way. But heh thats the great thing about football.
Good to see this thread comes with a free "Parky looking miserable" poster for people to REVEL in.
But what the fuk do you want Parky to say
If we have been caught Timewasting which i suspect we did, as we needed to hold out and protect what we had.
i think the bloke is on a hiding to nothing with some of you
we got beat again but yet again we were in the game right until the end i dont know if we were hanging on i dont know if we were fortunate to still be in the game.
he has said on 2 occasions we didnt defend or stop the ball coming over it doesnt matter what time that happens if you do that you concede invariably,
in a all honesty how many times do you see 6 mins injury time unless there is a serious incident in the game so he was right 6 mins was ridiculous even 4 mins gets the greeting of a groan unless you are losing
get some real expectations in what we are going to moan and gripe about
