Good to see that once actually viewed the various rumblings about the giant telly have stopped. Chalk that up as a success then.

Yes, I believe there is a rule about not showing the time after 90 mins (must have been in place for decades if memory serves) and you can understand why. It would be another stick with which to beat the poor ref as angry fans and players moan about the whistle being blown too soon or too late (in their opinion).

Ps, The clock yesterday wasn't started dead on the kick off (it was started maybe 10 secs after the start). They can't be relied upon to be the arbiter of truth.
