Aah.... sorry I missed the basketball thread, though at least, he wasn't a player either. Edit: Indeed sorry, I had always regarded this thread as a general sports thread. Because "time added" sounded like somethnig from ice hockey to me. Now I guess it's specifically about football, i.e. soccer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
