Time Wasting

[FalmerforAll!**]

Quite possibly the most frustrating thing in life.

So many times teams have come here, been drawing 0-0 or leading by a goal and just blatantly ****ed about to waste time without any consequences from the referee. Not usually one to moan as I know we do our fair share of it away from home (and it always winds me up too, so I'm no hypocrite) but **** me it's one of those things that needs to be looked at and harsher penalties introduced for. People pay a massive sum of money to watch football, not some ponce prat about taking a throw in/goal kick.

Couldn't have been happier when we scored, their number 3 and their keeper weren't finding it as difficult to carry out their duties after that

Oh, and Donny are another tinpot outfit.

End of rant.

It is frustrating. But I'd want us to do it at 1-0 up with seconds left. You can't have it both ways.

With minutes left, totally (albeit the Albion are possibly the worst time wasters in the history of the art) but teams like Bournemouth, Donny etc come here and do it from the 50th minute. Embarrassing.

 

[BBassic]

I'm exactly the same. Time wasting serves a purpose at a specific point in the game. But not from the 50th minute.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Ah yes. Bournemouth. They were monumentally tedious. It's an Eddie Howe thing- he seems to have this reputation as a blue-eyed golden boy whose teams play lovely football. But he's actually a sneaky little weasel who sets up his teams to take gamesmanship to new levels in the hope of frustrating opponents into making a mistake or lashing out. Bournemouth were painful to watch.

And Millwall from the 20th!

Millwall I could understand as they were deep in relegation worries and bang off form. But Bournemouth were more or less mid table. Yet they were utterly shameless about their constant pissing around & delaying tactics.

 

[Beach Hut]

Getting a point at the Amex is seen as a result by many clubs so you could argue this is a compliment all the time wasting.

What really annoyed about yesterday was that the Doncaster goalkeeper started wasting time even in the first half and despite the crowd yelling at the ref about it, he took no notice at all. I even mentioned to the bloke next to me that it was so bad I thought the goalie had gone on his holidays at one stage! In the second half, when we were leading, PIG went to take a goal kick and the ref started giving him the big get on with it. Talk about inconsistency.

And Millwall from the 20th!

They were time wasting from kick off

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

So I assume Albion Never have or never will time waste?

All teams time waste, its frustrating but if you score early its not an issue.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Our warming down substitutes didn't pass the ball from obviously off-field positions to Kuszczak when were 1-0 up and looking to waste some time, and if in the away end i'd certainly be annoyed by that when so much mattered in the remaining minutes to snatch the game back our way. But it's the done thing and you can't expect teams to play the way you want them to.

Have you read any of the thread or just the title?

 

[soistes]

I waste more of my time on NSC than almost anything else in life.

 

[Mowgli37]

What irritated me most about the Number three was that he blatantly continued time-wasting when taking throw ins even after his booking, safe in the knowledge that the referee was very unlikely to send him off for it. Refs need to clamp down on it.

 

[El Turi]

Time wasters should get one or two warnings at most before getting booked rather than token yellow cards in the 90th minute.

Exactly Edna !!

Doncaster goalkeeper started wasting time even in the first half and despite the crowd yelling at the ref about it,

Do you really expect either the keeper or ref to be influenced by crowd yelling about it

 

[Mileoakman]

No I don't. What I do expect is consistency when they seemed to do it for ever without censor and the PIG got hurried along by the ref on arguably his first offence.

 

[1234andcounting]

Time wasting is endemic now, and from the first half, which amazes me. How does anyone know what they might need to do in the last 10 mins of a game. I am sure it was the case that timewasting only occurred late on in games which took place late in the season when I were a lad.

However, we have had two masters of the art, Messrs Kuipers and Ankergren.
