Margin meter

I was under the impression that game time was measured by a "timekeeper" not by Skys clock?

Who presses the stop and start buttons I'm not sure, but..............

Watch the game tonight, and I'll give you a cast-iron guarantee that the hooter will go as the Sky clock hits 00.00.

I think it's even the case with BBC matches as well, but I stand to be corrected on that one.

I've just spoken with my mate who's a qualified referee, and he informs me that Sky clock, is linked directly and runs parallel with that of the offical timekeeper's equipment, so when one stops / re-starts, so does the other.

Where is the margin meter this week? How desperate is Phil Clarke in wanting to sound controversial. No wonder they gave him this spangles toy to play with.

and to be fair, had salford carried on the rest of the game at 86% completion and saints at 55% thats somthing you would expect.

what alot of people seem to be missing with the margin meter is that it only states the predicted out come assuming the stats up to the point of prediction continue until the end of the game.

Precisely. Hence the fluctuation. It works like the old Clappometer on Opportunity Knocks.
