So, 1 poster says that the game was over after 18 seconds, the remaining 59 minutes, 42 seconds to go, in other words, 99.5% of the game left to play, of no consequence whatsoever, don't even bother playing it, you get down a goal after 18 seconds, this team, he knew, he could tell, no chance, done like dinner.

It was over.

After just 18 seconds, that poster, he knew.  I guess in much the same way Reggie Dunlop knew about Hanrahan's wife, I can just see said poster screaming, "I know, I know!"
