if owen scored on 5:25 and the final whistle went at 6:58 thats 93, between start of celebration and final whistle (not sure how long owen celebrated)
You are asssuming that the media timings are true and that Bowen didn't do his homework. That may not be the case, just because they said so...sometimes, they lie.
I agree with Paddyblue. If I was the coach and I was ringing up the radio I'd have everything there in front of me analysed to a T. And if one of those cunts said that it was 80 seconds the whistle blew after Owen's goal I'd have rammed it down their throat with my analysis.
Having said that, Bowen is clearly all heart towards the man city cause, just like Hughes, but the same question mark is still hovering over him as it is with Hughes. Can he do his job to the ability that Manchester City Football Club now demands?
I think not knowing the details of the extra time stinks of unprofessionalism.
I'm unsure if that last sentence was a real dig at Bowen, but if it was then you need to actually listen to the interview. Bowen said it was nearly straight away and McGarry interrupted with the 80 second quote. Bowen then jumped back in and asked him if that included the goal celebration and the fan on the pitch incident, which McGarry had no reply.
So in essence, McGarry was made to look a twat, similarly to when he questioned why Bowen was not getting his message across to the City players, in which Bowen asked whether McGarry had ever sat in 76000 full house who were going mad and if he'd ever tried to get a message across. Strangely enough, McGarry had no retort again.
However, what I'm wondering is, is which school of thought would
you come from, McGarry or Bowen; ie. sensationalism or realism?
