There was a drinks break midway through the half so the only thing I can think of is he forgot to stop his watch. Not much of an excuse though!

My favourite part of that was the linesman's reaction when the Tunisian bench got in his face, he nearly laid one of them out! :lol:

Crazy scenes. Players have to come back out and play 3 minutes.

Another game is due to kick off here at 4pm so there's now 4 sets of fans in the ground.

Not sure how Betfair are going to deal with this. If Tunisia equalise I'll be asking them to resettle the market! :D

Betfair will be relieved. Imagine the chaos if the game resumed and Tunisia equalised!

Missed that bit. I must have been calculating how much I'd win if the match continued and there was another goal. :lol:

Surely the fourth official has a watch!

Shouldn't be too difficult. They'd just resettle like they always do and send their chat staff on holiday for a week.

Could get worse yet for Tunisia.

They refused to come out and play the 3 minutes so they might end up forfeiting the match meaning a 3-0 loss instead of 1-0.

I think they'd just exit the tournament and cause more embarrassment to the ACN, if that's even possible!

What really gets me is the ref made a huge mistake, had the opportunity to correct it and did so - then he does it again!! You'd think he'd have a word with one of the officials and correct his watch!

Make sure you've all greened up 10 minutes before the final whistle for the next one. :lol:

Shit!! Mauritania v Gambia has been delayed by 45 minutes. Does that mean it ends after the first half? :lol:

Aw..... rats! Why does everything kick off while I'm not watching. No doubt the 4pm will be a yawnfest. I'm so ignorant I thought Mauritania was a fictional country. :roll:
