Why didn't we take the second half corner?

[Stat Brother]

We should have taken the frackin corner.

Wednesday lump goes to ground, the ref waves play on, they panic and kick the ball out.

PLAY TO THE BLOODY WHISTLE.

As unlikely as it would have been had we scored, then what?
It wasn't a foul, there was nothing wrong with the bloke, and we needed something/anything.

Bruno and Buckley were keen to take it, but KLL insisted WB kicked it out.

Ironically when Kaz was lying on the ground 5 minutes later, we carried on without him.

Seemed fair enough to me. Wednesday kicked the ball out due to an injury. We gave them the ball back. That's how it works, and who knows when you'll next be on the receiving end of such a favour. It's personal insurance at best, or maybe just Men Behaving Decently.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Sportsmanship?

Clearly there is a place for it, but its all becoming a bit sickly for me.

Cramp is just an excuse to the delay the game..... Should have taken a competitive corner.

 

[VAL1850]

Yes should have taken corner - Wednesday player only had cramp - why didnt Greer take control of the decision

 

[Sheebo]

They kicked it out to cheat - not cos they were worried about their player. We should've played them at own game in this instance & taken corner imo

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

The ref had words with Buckley and Bruno the latter of which looks unhappy at what the ref was saying. Seemed to me Bruno wanted to takes it and ref said no. That was my view from the North Stand anyway

 

[Stat Brother]

If he actually had cramp he wouldn't have played another 20 minutes of football.
It was just a convenient excuse for not getting the original decision.

The ref seemed pretty noncommittal and shrugtastic to me.
KLL definitely lead the decision to kick the ball out.

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

I thought their defender kicked it out because he had Buckley breathing down his neck in the box rather than it being cleared to allow their injured player to get treatment.

No its f**king not. You play to the whistle. The ref decides to stop the game. All this feigning injury crap gets on my tits. Lua Lua wasn't hurt, he laid realized no one was paying him any attention got up and ran off.


About time it stopped. Get on with the game you tarts. Especially tarts like Buckley.

 

[the wanderbus]

wednesday pissed about with the ball and only put it out due to being pressurised, if they could have cleared it and created an attack they would have regardless of the play acting **** on the floor. Should have taken a proper corner

Though if the ball is in play, which technically it would have been and we haven't done anything wrong in terms of the laws of the game, can he tell us what to do?

If we had said "sorry ref, we're taking it," what action could he have taken?

That was my impression too.

Given them a fictitious penalty. The ref was the first of many complete plonkers in black we are liable to see at the Amex this season. How can a tackle from behind only result in a lecture

Agreed, although just after the sending off Greer almost performed an Ouchi Gari and got away with it.

 

[El Turi]

We wouldn't have kicked it back to them under Gus....

Exactly the ref can't make it up as he goes along. If he thought the injury needed attention he stops the game. Even then the dropball should be competed for.

Exactly, if they were concerned about the injury it would have been smacked straight out rather than piss about and wait for Buckley to press before putting it out. Should have played on/taken the corner.

 

[BensGrandad]

The only plus was that at least we kicked it over for a throw in down in the corner which is what I think should always happen rather than give it to the keeper.

That's how I saw it, the defence then seemed to have a go at each other.

 

[theboybilly]

Wednesday, although nowhere near as bad as last season, were using every trick in the book to disrupt the game from flowing. I hope they get drawn into a relegation battle and the opposition on the final day takes the lead and then sees out the match in the same way.
Would I laugh?
