where's the joy Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Never seen it done before, but to slow down the re-start after their goal Che Adams was instructed by Cotterill to bend down and pretend to tie his shoelaces. Fair enough but this was deliberately in our half of the pitch to prevent us kicking off again swiftly. now as most equalisers are scored within minutes of the restart so its a dodgy but clever tactic they went onto time waste for the rest of the match and the ref, who was truly awful, finally booked their goalie in extra time watch out for tactical shoelaces by our team next year !!!!

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Every team in the country does it. In yesteryear the game would be back underway within 20 seconds but now there is everybody huddled together for 30 seconds then they all amble back to there own half. You will always get one player, who when just approaching the halfway line, will decide that he needs to be on the other side of the pitch and then walks diagonally through the centre circle wasting another 5 seconds. It all adds up and is never added back on. I can remember when Sky used to put up at the end of the game how long the ball was in play. No wonder they have stopped doing it, as I would imagine the figure nowadays is an embarrassment.. #AMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbo Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 If only there was someway of stopping the clock when the ball isn't in play. And you know, playing 90 minutes of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stops when the ball is out of play and stoppages. This would sort out so many problems including the time wasting, that is ruining the game. It's infuriating isn't it. We probably only played about an hour of football on Sunday because of the time wasting. Such an easy solution too. No idea why it done. Brum were awful time wasters. Last season Hull were pretty bad too, pretty much from kick off. And Rotherham. God that was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 That Kusczak lad needs to be shot. Absolute *****. As JonDolman said, we should have a clock that counts down to zero. Time wasting is one of the worst problems in modern football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I heard a similar stat many years ago that quoted a team that scores is at most risk of conceding within the next 6 minutes from the resultant KO God knows why that has stuck in my mind when I couldn't tell you what I had for tea last week, but it has for some reason I am completely unable to back this up with any form of stats but it's stuck in my swede whether it be true or total rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
