He did to be fair, however he blew exactly on 8 minutes added time despite several stoppages in injury time. We still wouldn’t have got a winner but just added to the frustration.

[Albion] Eight minutes MINIMUM

Agree.
The time wasting and throw-ins were frustrating but he’s one of the better ones of an extremely poor bunch IMO.

I think I may be ill. I'm of the opinion that Hoops did OK today. Stopped the time-wasting pretty well, even dragged one of their players to their feet.
How should I treat this ailment? I'm very concerned. It feels very wrong.
Another who thinks Hoops did ok. We could have played another 8 minutes and still it would be 1 - 1. The football gods were not with us today but the person who does not deserve criticism is the ref.

You have to do the first yellow early enough, when he STARTS taking the piss.
As you observe, it's largely pointless doing it in the last few minutes because by then, that ship has sailed and they know they'll get away with it.
Whatever happened to that six second rule anyway ?

Hoops did well.
Think i only called him a **** twice.
Agreed we should have haf another couple of minutes.

Yes but we had a poor result so it must be his fault (and I expect it’s also our fault for the atmosphere, only just come here after getting back but I’m sure the thread is on here somewhere)
but we COULD have scored twice from 30 shots , maybe ..
The six second rule still exists. I get that it would be silly if it was strictly enforced all the time but Trafford today was taking the piss today so an indirect free kick would have stopped him along with an early yellow card for taking too long with goal kicks.

Strange that. Whilst at Smellhurst set piece donkeys CP got 3 extra minutes to pump in freekicks and corners to Andersen.

I presume you mean:….. that they’ll NOT get a second yellow.
to which my response is why on earth shouldn’t a goalkeeper get sent off for continuing to timewaste even after they have been booked.
Anyone else remember this 'clampdown' on timewasting?

Lasted all of a couple of weeks, as predicted. Trafford should have been booked in the first half, let alone the 10/15 other occasions.
Premier League: Does football need a stopwatch to prevent timewasting after 14 bookings in 19 matches?
With Lutons game against Burnley rearranged, there have been 19 Premier League matches in the opening two gameweeks involving 14 yellow cards for time-wasting, averaging at 0.7 per game; Mikel Arteta says a stopwatch will soon be required

Hooper was very good except for his inability to count when Trafford had the ball. Bizarre

Can I also say, the "De Zerbi's right, the refs are shite" song is embarrassing.
Especially when it got sung after a throw in we didn’t get, which was right in front of me and came off Mitoma last…

Exactly. It's actually ok when sung at games in which we're being robbed, such as Chelsea. But now it's sung all the time over little things - usually when the ref is right
Read the room. When we don't win, it must be someone's fault. There is only one thing hated more in this context than VAR. That's the rotten refs that VAR was brought in to assist. It's like hating crime and the police.
(I salute the many people who gave you a thumbs up, by the way. Perhaps the ref could have booked the keeper for his antics, but there isn't anything he can do when players suddenly slump onto the grass. The most annoying thing about this is how the crowd responds, shrieking howling and grizzling. It must sound awful to our players. Thankfully they are professional and don't lose their heads like much of the crowd).
