Martin Atkinson - What the fuck?
As sickened as I am, what the fuck was that all about? Blowing it up just as Jagielka is about to take a shot? Never saw anything like that before

He blew it as they crossed the half way line. The allotted 3 minutes and extra for their goals were up. No reason why he should let them have a counter attack when time is up.

It was a shocking call by the ref. Imagine what Fergie would do if roles were reversed? |

If there are stoppages during time added on then further time is/should be added on. He shit his pants, it's as simple as that. I'd have been furious. |

don't think it really matters? Maybe he bottled it? Maybe he felt at that moment time was up. The fact it denied someone a shot shouldn't really have any relevance. You don't say...oh i'll play a bit more to see if it goes in...

Shit decision, should've waited for the attack to finish, or blown before the ball passed the half-way line. He probably realised if they score, Fergie would've released the mother-of-all-hairdryers on his ass. Poor refereeing.

Cobblers. This waiting for the passage of play to finish is another one of those made up rules that some football fans (and commentators) wrongly believe exists.
When the time is up the ref blows his whistle, regardless of where the ball is. Simple. Sure, I'd be pissed if it happened when we were on the break but that wouldn't make me right would it. |

Bollocks. There are conventions around the rules, one of which is that you wait until a lull in the play before blowing for time (for the very sensible reason that timekeeping is an inexact science).

bollox - there may be "conventions" in some peoples' minds when it suits but unfortunately not the rules. He allowed what he deemed to be appropriate extra time and blew before their move developed - they just played on.
He's terrified of Fergie though which is why Everton escaped several yellow cards |

Bloody hell lads we can't have it both ways! The ref was right to add on the extra time in the derby last year allowing Owen to score in the 96th minute, and the ref today was wrong not to add more time on today given 2 goals were scored in the 3 minutes!

Tiresome argument now anyway. It wasn't exactly like Jagielka was gonna score. Even Yagielka couldn't have put it in from that angle. |

If he blew as the ball crossed the half way line, as sopme have said, then that's fair enough. But I thought he blew when Everton were nearer the penalty area which was a very strange decision, however they continued and had a shot that was saved by Edwin. Basically, I think he blew at the wrong time but it did not affect the result at all as vdS made the save. In fact if he'd continued Edwin might have got the ball quickly downfield for a United attack, who knows - all one can say is that Eveton's shot was saved whichever side of the whistle it was taken.

Atkinson had two penalty decisions to make today, City at home get the penalty, Newcastle away don't. To me that was the deciding factor between a City win and either a loss or a draw. He got at least one of the calls wrong today.
