He is actually the master of the craft and it makes me smile and I don't recall him ever doing it when we have been behind. He has this ability to carry on doing stuff in slow motion whilst never stopping and not that many refs seem to spot this.
Totally agree. He is a master at this, it doesn't get much said about it because he does it so well. Nobody really notices.
you are joking aren't you. I have been caught by your fishing trip haven't I?
Kuipers takes as long for goal kicks whether we are behind or not and irrespective of whether it is the 1st or 90th minute. There have been numerous occassions over the last two years when we have been behind at home (ask any season ticket holder) and it is crying out for some urgency which seems to go over kuipers head.
this is part of the reason why most fans of other teams in our division see the man as either a total clown or a massive prick
Edna had it right on Saturday, commenting that she just wished he'd concentrate on the actual game. He gets so caught up in stuff and nonsense all the time.
The whole point is that he isn't a master of it though. Against Wycombe at home, we're a goal up with a few minutes to go and because Kuipers blatantly wasted time again the ref gave them a free kick in our box from which they nearly scored. Not sure how 'nobody really noticed' that oneTotally agree. He is a master at this, it doesn't get much said about it because he does it so well. Nobody really notices.
