Match ticking over with nothing happening is probably a server error with commentary. I've had fast paced 'nothing-ness' before too. Lag usually produces nothing then a rush of action.
I also noticed last few days that there were some rogue "/" and other characters appearing in commentary and some text displays so maybe a relate glitch.
I wouldn't be surprised if all the game engine did was incur a -5% possession penalty on the team playing with 10 men.
